The flexing rules mean any change from the Buccs Saints had to be announced by Yesterday at the latest, it's not going to happen.

The nation must be forced to watch 'Tom Terrific' go up against the worst most lumpen Saints offense to watch in at least a decade, all interspersed with shots of Sean Payton doing his best 'blue steel' on the sideline 30 times a game.

There are about 3 other games I'd have flexed before us and Washington anyway.

You guys know they already made a decision on this? This game along with 4 others around the league were listed as TBD. 

Last week or 2 weeks ago they made the decision on who to flex and where. 

Browns Raiders got 430 Saturday, Patriots colts Saturday night

Then the other games got 1 pm, Eagles/Skins included. 

There was the thinking the NFL would move around games because the Saints had collapsed:

What I think has been happening is local authorities have been telling the NFL they can't have games moved to Sunday night because it would put a strain on available personnel, especially to work Monday morning if they have to work Sunday night because of a game being moved, largely due to vaccine mandates (there were many who felt the Bengals games in Week 13 against the Chargers and Week 14 against the 49ers should have been moved to Sunday Night).  Given how many in law enforcement in some areas have quit or otherwise were forced to go on leave because they refuse to get vaccinated, it likely has left many cities with a situation where they are shorthanded to begin with and can't just deal with games being moved to Sunday night. 

No, thanks

Dang...this dead horse being flogged in this thread too. I agree WFT is a silly name. When speaking I just call them Washington (WFT is faster to type).

I call them the wtf

No.

The Iggles should only play on Sunday at 1 pm. Or, if they get a Saturday game, 4:30 pm. Screw those night games. 

Amen brother.

Well idk about you guys but I'm glad it wasn't flexed. The 1pm games start at 9pm where I am so that means I'll actually get to watch it. Hopefully I won't be staying up late for nothing though b/c I honestly don't have good vibes about this game. One thing I miss about fat Andy is that he always had the team ready to play after the bye. We'll see soon enough I guess.

And given the COVID situation with the Football Team, it may turn out this game gets moved anyway, in this case to at least Monday 12/20 where it would be most likely a 5:00 PM start or Tuesday 12/21, where it would be a 7:00 PM start. 

Also its possible the Eagles win this game via forfeit.
