ajzepp Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I know they were talking about having a back-up game on Monday nights for later in the year, but are they going to schedule two every week? Anyone know what's up with this?

Later in the season, games can be moved FROM Sunday to Monday night, and vice versa. The only exception for the one game would be Christmas, when there will be a 5:00 and 8:30 game.

Just would be nice if the BILLS could be part of it
Arkady Renko Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I am pretty sure that the only flexible schedule is moving games from Sunday day to Sunday Night. Contrary to ESPN's belief... Monday Night Football moved to Sundays and Sunday Night Football moved to Mondays. NBC has the premiere games.
Ramius Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 C'mon...like anyone on the east coast is going to be up until 2-3am watching the raiders-chargers... yawn...
Like A Mofo Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 C'mon...like anyone on the east coast is going to be up until 2-3am watching the raiders-chargers... yawn... 762615[/snapback] Those who have a 10 timer on the game, those who have LT on their fantasy team and need 3 points to win Week 1 of their league, and and the ones who have consumed 6+ beers and are wired up.

JCBoston Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I am pretty sure that the only flexible schedule is moving games from Sunday day to Sunday Night. 762612[/snapback] Yes, this is absolutely the case: "Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights." NFL Flexible Schedules

Besides, I'm interested to see how Rivers plays.

Sunday night's game is now the "premiere" night game in the NFL. ESPN's Monday night schedule is fixed.

Ever heard of fantasy football? I'm a geek, I admit it. That game has star power -- Tomlinson, Moss, etc.
