Bills Fan888 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Why? 878160[/snapback] Flex scheduling.
Whitner20 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Nice, now i can sleep in extra long and get my drinking started really early and be well on my way even before new years comes!

I'm not complaining but i will prolly start to forget the end of the game considering the fact that my driniking begins at 2:00 that day. This game means nothing to either team.

This game means nothing to either team. 878165[/snapback] The "primary" flex game is the Packers-Bears game moving to 8:15pm, so the NFL adjusts a few others so the appropriate networks can get the games they want in the time slot they want.... My guess is that they're trying to spread out the games that have some playoff implications between 1:00 and 4:15. This one has some playoff implications based on Baltimore going for a 1st round bye against Indy, who also had their game moved to 4:15. Once I saw this change, I was hoping I'd be able to see the game from Albany...but I don't know who has the doubleheader this week.

sullim4 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 BOTH networks have the doubleheader the final week of the season: http://www.gribblenation.net/nflmaps/
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 That sucks. Was planning on going out to dinner that night. Thanks a lot, NFL.

Albany,n.y. Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 This sucks when you have the last flight out of Baltimore @ 8:55 PM. I may or may not make the flight, depending on how long it takes me to get through security. I'm arriving at the airport @ 7:36 or 8:06, depending on which train from M&T to BWI I catch. I'll have no luggage, so I might make it. If not, I'll book a different flight, on a cheaper airline for 1/1 & stay near the airport on Sunday night. I'm never buying a ticket to a game I'm not driving to again, unless it's the Super Bowl where they can't change the time.

Ozymandius Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Notice that the Colts game and Chargers game are also at 4:15 pm. Those two teams and Ravens are competing for seeding and first round byes. The NFL scheduled it that way so that all three teams have to play their starters not knowing the outcomes of their competitors' games.
