Chargers-Broncos (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9782768) instead.

Get 8 hours of sleep. Put those long underwear away for another 2 weeks!

I'm with Mista T on this one! I hate late games. Had my fill of them last year. 1PM games are MUCH better, especially as the weather gets colder.

I like 1pm's too, but id like an 8pm SATURDAY night game, that way im off the next day!

The chargers-broncos makes alot more sense then the falcons-ravens anyway....we may still get a sunday night game.

That means Cunningham was right. He predicted this yesterday after the Falcons lost. I think Fox would have blocked it either way. So don't be surprised if old Hee-Haw Bradshaw is here doing the pre-game.

I agree, the Falcons lost probably made the decision easier to go with SD/Den.

But what's up with moving Indy and Dallas to 4:15? Our game will be better :)

The only other game that we have that could be moved to a prime-time game would be the Steelers/Ravens game on 11/26; I don't see the Browns game or Bills being moved. One home prime-time game would be great!

That Sucks! I really thought it would be us.
Last year I attended my first prime time game (Green bay) and it was by far the most fun I've had at a game.
And my seats were litteraly the last row up top, and I was warm. all about dressing right!

Don't worry fellas, we still have 5 or 6 more games that are subject to flex scheduling. We should get one.

There's 4, and really none have national appeal. We have Pit, KC, Cleveland and Buffalo.

KC is the best possibility. LJ against the Ravens run D could be enticing to the networks.

Yikes. I wasn't aware of that.

Here's to hoping the Chiefs keep winning (and for MistaT, hope they start losing).

I sure hope we get the KC game on prime time, but I won't be too sad if we don't, seeing as how we always seem to tank it in prime time when the game counts

The complaint is HOME games being moved, I don't think he will mind an away game. Of course, he is probably going to it so who knows.

Forgive me on that one. Since I don't go to the games anymore (out in Denver), I temporarily forgot about the fact we play KC at Arrowhead.

How many friggin prime time games does that make for Denver this year? They are on every other weekend I think.

If a tropical heat wave :rolling: rolls through KC in December, I just may decide to make the trip. Otherwise: night TV games are tolerable, but still prefer 1 pm starts.

I like night away games. I need to drain and clean my hot tub and install and electric fence to keep in our latest contributor and Sunday afternoon would be a great time to get those things done.

Great news for us overseas. Prime time games are in the middle of the night over here whereas 1 pm games are prime time :)

That's another game I'll be getting in to watch the end of as a result of Sunday Six-a-side league. :D

Still it's better than having to stay up until god knows when in the morning.

I don't think Ravens/Steelers would get moved. With the Steelers pretty much on a dead season there's no storyline or reason to move that game now.

If anything I think the KC game would be the one if any. Especially with the Chiefs actually making a run at this.

It sucks, i live in ithaca NY, and my girlfriend is a falcon fan, and we were looking forward to watching the game

No prob. We should still get the GOTW treatment from Fox with hopefully Joe Buck and Troy Aikman doing the game, and maybe having their crew out at the stadium.

According to Jim somebody or other on Anita Marks show yesterday, the Falcons/Ravens game was chosen to be moved to the 8 o'clock game but Fox blocked it. Remember that Fox gets to block some game sor something like that. It was part of the deal involving NBC, CBS and FOX for the flex scheduling. So blame/credit FOX for the non-move.

Greg

Fox and CBS can block so many games, maybe 1 per week? Or maybe once they block one they can't until NBC gets one from them? I don't know. But that's cool, move the KC game. Chances are we will get moved.

What really sucks about flex time games is if you're like me and you work midnight shift.....you can blow off going to the game. Might as well sell the ticket. It's a bad rule that the NFL put on the fans. Besides, like many posters on this site....I've had my fill of freezing my a## off at night games in Dec

I loathe primetime games. I like the one o'clock ones. I'm a very impatient person at times...

I thought it would have been moved, I think it's a better game than Denver/SD...

I know why the NFL switches the games and I agree in concept why they do it, but sometimes it makes it difficult for working people to stay the whole game. Other fans might have other social commitments which would entail them to sell their tickets.

I prefer the 1 PM games, because I sit on the sunny side of the stadium and I like the warmth of the sun.
