What do we make of only one primetime game?

can't we get some more w the flexing they end up doing?

who cares, i the end, start winning and rebuild this back up!

Didn't even notice they all got 3, and only 2 of them are inter-division (Atl @ Saints & Car @ TB).

What I did find interesting was Atl plays at GB on Thurs night in W3, then plays at NOLA on Mon night in W4, then hosts Balt Sun night in W5.

Also, while only 1 prime time game sucked, I was just glad we didn't get any Thurs night games.

First you have to look at our opponents and if there is any history there they can push a story for in primetime, or a story about this QB vs that QB. Then you project how good our team and our opponents' teams will be.

When you look at everything, there is only 1 other potential game I think could have been primetime, and that is the Ravens game, setting up a story about 2 new-ish coaches to their teams, one with an up and coming QB and one with a vet and how that duel will play out.

Every other game I find is either a shite opponent, a team that has no qb, both of those things, or just a division game, minus the Lions, but week 1 primetime they literally hand pick some of the biggest stories, so no way we were getting a week 1 game.

You could squint and maybe put the Bears game in there, but they already have 5 which seems a lot for them. If the Bengals was a home game you could do a Burrow "homecoming" storyline.

But 10 of our games are against teams with 3 or fewer primetime games. 15 are 4 or fewer. We just don't play those top teams everyone wants to see this year, and we still have to prove we are good before we get back to being a must see team ourselves. Being mediocre isn't good enough, and that's what we are being projected as (though I disagree).

I thought we’d get 2-3 with the way Shough played down the stretch. League apparently is not buying the hype.

There has to be someone people want to watch. Saints have zero star power and can’t even sell out their own season tickets. 1 sounds about right

NYG got four based on concussed Dart

We should've gotten at least 2

This is the answer. The saints are projected to be an average team playing a projected bad schedule. Shough doesn’t have enough star power at this point to push the saints into must see TV.


This could change significantly next year.

Giants got four because of their division and market. No one cares about Dart outside of their fan base.

well we didn't have any last year so I'm not surprised.

one is better than none though.

Surprised raiders didn’t get one with Mendoza and being in Vegas

when you look at season win totals for this division there's not a lot of separation between the teams.

so Vegas thinks we're all just about even.
