The Jest game is an obvious gimme but other than the Bengals game, that is an awful prime time slate. They would be leaving an awful lot of meat on the bone. I mean not really..... from 10/26 -12/23 we play every game 4:25 or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised by which games they chose for the night slots, but the Bills will be getting plenty of national screen time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 If true it seems rather reasonable to me. There are no long stretches of away games. There’s a bye week before playing the Chiefs. We don’t go to Miami in the heat. And we already knew there’s only one west coast trip. Again, if true….I’ll take it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are prime games because there are only a few games at that time. Chiefs and Eagles will probably be the only game on nationwide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fully aware of how the late Sunday windows work and that they are considered 'prime time' but there are no times listed on the graphic outside of the night games so they could just as easily be 1:00 PM games. 2 minutes ago, Gregg said: I wonder how they decide who gets what between the networks. Maybe CBS protected the game with the Chiefs for themselves and FOX did the same for the Cowboys game. No, the networks are not allowed to 'protect' any games. NFL VP of Broadcasting, Mike North, said as much when he was interviewed by Sal Capaccio and Matt Bove for a podcast on the upcoming schedule several weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the anchor team for a primetime game is what happens when you are good. They want to give tampa or denver some primetime exposure, so they put them against buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. 4:25 games are prime time especially national games. We used to dream about getting out of 1pm now we are bitching about it ?
