Augie Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Market size is almost silly. LA can’t support one team, much less two. Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Green Bay etc have huge and loyal FANBASES. They travel to and obsessively watch their teams. That’s where the money is, not in the metro area population. My brother in law from Providence was here for Thanksgiving. Huge (and typical) Patriot “fan”. Great guy! He freely admitted that if they didn’t win every year he’d shift his focus. Didn’t even PRETEND to actually be a loyal fan. It was kind of refreshing....for a Patriot fan.

No team is allowed more than six primetime games unless Week 17 rolls around and that team is the preferred candidate for the SNF flex slot. Dallas has had three NBC primetime games, two Thursday games (Thanksgiving and next week), and a Monday night game. Thus, this game is ineligible to be moved. It's also very likely that FOX protected this game from being moved to SNF. Those blocks must be submitted to the NFL by week 5 and DAL/LAR is very likely to have been protected by FOX given that it is in the late window of a doubleheader. In order for BUF/PIT to be moved to 4:25, it must be cross-flexed to FOX as CBS has a singleheader that week and there is a snowball's chance in hell that they would move this to 4:05. The NFL never cross-flexes "good" games into the 4:25 window unless the doubleheader network has a stinker in there. DAL/LAR isn't a stinker. In short, you're wrong.
QB Bills Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 This would be awesome. Al Michaels is the best in the business and hasn't called a Bills game since we crushed the Patriots 56-10 in 2007. My lobotomist said that was his favourite all-time game. 2
Bferra13 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 I could do without Chris Collinsworth busting our balls all night. Biggest tool in the business. But other than that, I'd be cool with it. 1
judman Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 I'm going to the game and already took off the next day from work. If it's a night game, so be it. 1 1

That’s not me, so I’m good with whatever. I’m just happy when we are doing well. Focus more on other things when we are not. It’s a learned defense mechanism. ? 1

TheFunPolice Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 If you're going to be a top team you're going to play a bunch of 430 and night games

If you’re trying to say that based on demographics GB or Buffalo has a larger market than LA I don’t know what to tell you. Marketing departments can only do so much, a lot has to do with the product on the field. You can’t really market a turd sandwich, which is why Russ Brandon was regarded as a marketing genius...until he played grab ass with the wrong assistant. This is almost exactly like what I hear incompetent marketing people say as I wonder how they have a job. Anyone can read Wikipedia to get population figures. Marketing is about determination of those with likelihood to chose your product and reaching them. The market size for a nfl Game is likely viewers, not everyone with a pulse. London has 9 million people so is the idea that is a 9 million person market for the nfl? No. Edited December 2, 2019 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1 1

The Cowboys are going to have their 5th primetime game of the year next Thursday against the Bears. Teams are only allowed to be on primetime a maximum of 5 times a year. They can't flex the Cowboys game to Sunday night. I'm tired of seeing the Cowboys in Primetime anyway
jimmy10 Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 I have a buddy who works for NBC in New York. I just asked him about this. He said “no comment.” OH IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG. (Or he has no idea and is just F’ing with me.) 1 1 1
