Can the Lions game get flexed?

[vanhalen26]

I don’t know all the rules.  Already on SNF in two weeks anyway.

likely protected, each station gets a game per week to protect.  They are going to protect this one for sure.

No.  Stupid protection rules.  I hate 4:25 games.

I'll take 4:25 instead of 1:00 every time please. I have always hated the 1 pm start.

At this point, it would be tough because Seattle and Green Bay are playing well. Unless they may it a double header.

football should be played at 1:00 et on the east coast, night games suck

I have a non negotiable half hour power nap time that is interrupted when the Bills play in the 4:00 window.  Without it I kind of drag through the rest of the day and have sleeping trouble as it is.  Give me a 1:00 game or a Prime Time game.  I don't care if Fran Drescher is calling the game.  I also believe there's a lot of Collinsworth fans that are afraid to come out of the closet.  I'm one of them.  First world problems.

I prefer a 7 PM Monday night game, I don’t know why they don’t do that more

and I’ll take 4:25 instead of 8pm every time. The worst part of the Bills becoming good again was the prime time games.

When I first read it, it registered as "fixed." And I thought, sure, every week the league office does a fix or two.

I just wonder if you believe that or are joking.

[eball]

If I understand the rules correctly, CBS and Fox may protect one game a week against flexing.

 

Can’t imagine CBS not protecting a game that features two of the top 3-4 teams in the league, in the national 4 pm window.

Considering that where I live it's 7 hours later than Buffalo, the 1PM games are preferable (8PM start instead of 11:25PM)

Dislike him or not, he's had a career that almost everyone here would have loved.

Well yeah. Why wouldn’t I love a career where I got paid to be annoying. I do that now for free.

Collinsworth is strangely growing on me. I think he has become less insufferable.

[Matt_In_NH]

It is one of fox’s 12 national games.  I think it is protected.

Once i figured out his formula he’s become insufferable to me. All he does, all game long, every game, and every play is make a praising comment about the player who’s just made the last play (offense or defense). It’s a formula based on no homework, personal experience, or game strategy knowledge. Listen for it next time. It’s every single play. He is completely mailing it in.
