"Dallas at Buffalo becomes the sole late national game on FOX"

 

Fox is praying we beat KC next week, otherwise Dallas game is moot (as far as Bills are concerned).

Maybe NFL will whisper the script to the refs before the KC game and we'll get some calls our way.

Haha, yeah at this point we need all the help we can get.

 

Still, FOX is thrilled to have even more eyes on Dallas...their real moneymaker.

Awesome, so our continued humiliation can be witnessed by a national audience

Also, the MNF flex means Philly has four MNF games this year:

 

at Tampa Bay

at Kansas City

at Seattle

vs. New York Giants

Reality is hitting Boston media hard right now.

So, the calls will be 2-1 in favor of Dallas instead of 3-1? Sweet!

LOL!
 

It might not be quite national though as Arizona may blackout our game on FOX to show them vs. San Francisco on CBS.

Same day flex games I get to a degree. If I'm already planning on going to the game Sunday I can probably swing a game moved earlier or later that day, annoying as it might be.

 

Scheduling to an entirely new day with less than 2 weeks notice though??? Seems crazy from a ticketed fan's perspective, especially for those travelling in from out of town. Have to imagine a good chunk of fans won't be able to adjust and will have to sell or forfeit the tix. Curious if they would be offered any sort of refund in that scenario?

Agreed, but especially for Week 15, with three Saturday games to be determined late, fans knew in advance things would be uncertain.

Totally fair point. And I'm assuming there was probably a disclaimer with the new Monday night flex games too. Still movement to a Saturday is probably easier than a Monday night!

Why are games being played on a Saturday for week 15?

Because it's near the holidays and the NFL wants to feature games to a national window and make money. Plus there are no (or few?) college games.

Clearly moron moving game wants Coach McD fired.  The only question is that moron one of our Debbie downers here?

Same reason this was the first year of games on Black Friday. Before we know it, there'll be football on every day of the week and twice (maybe literally?) on Sunday! On one hand it's nice having options to watch more games throughout the week, on the other I kind of miss the days of limited football on Sunday and Monday night only...it felt like there was something special to look forward to each week.

Well let’s hope McDermott turns it around then. Otherwise we’ll have to hear about it even more than already every day of the week…

If we play like we did at Philly, we will win out. Miami and KC didn't win against them. We should have won.

The NFL has played Saturday games this late in the season for a long time. When college football's regular season is over, the NFL will take advantage of the extra weekend day.

To be fair, KC also dominated Philly and should have won. They shot themselves in the foot just like us. Gotta hand it to Philly...they're either the luckiest SOBs in the world or are a championship team that digs deep and just finds ways to win. Guess we'll find out which in the playoffs.
