November 8, 20223 yr Author 10 hours ago, Hawkeye said: No. They won't and I'm not sure they even can. They could. Patriots as of now are actually scheduled to play four straight prime time games starting with the Vikings Thanksgiving night (though their week 11 game with the Jets is also now a possibility to be flexed to SNF). Only reason they may not do so with the Titans on back-to-back weeks as they are also a candidate for Week 15 SNF against the Chargers and they can only be flexed in twice due to their having TWO Thursday night games (Week 11 at Green Bay, Week 17 at home against the Cowboys). Otherwise, they could have been flexed into SNF three times.

I lived on the east coast for over 3 decades and have loved experiencing football on the west coast. Love it starting at 10am. The only games that suck are the London ones. Those tend to be bad games anyway. Not having to stay up late watching football is great. And getting up early on a Sunday to watch is no big deal.
November 9, 20223 yr Personally, I like having time on Sunday morning to do a few odds and ends before games, and I like that once football starts, it takes me right to bed time. On the East coast, we can get a small taste of early kickoffs with the 9:30am London starts. I’m personally not a fan of it starting that early. Different strokes for sure, but I prefer the eastern time zone schedule.

And getting up early on a Sunday to watch is no big deal. I am 48, and for about 3 years I have suffered from the old man waking up early disease. When the game this Sunday kicks off at 6:30 am PST, I will probably have already been up for at least an hour, had coffee, and will have breakfast ready at kickoff.

Hilarious read, and a good Bloody Mary! Not sure I can post links here, but search this: "Here’s How to Make a F-ing Bloody Mary" . With the quotes, and spell out the naughty word. Article from Modern Drunkard Magazine.

November 11, 20223 yr Are there rules as to how many times a team can get flexed into SNF? If the Eagles keep the undefeated season rolling I wonder if the NFL just keeps flexing them. They have what should be some great games down the stretch: Titans @ Eagles Eagles @ Giants Eagles @ Bears Eagles @ Cowboys Eagles @ Cowboys already in prime time but the rest of those games could be prime time worthy with the undefeated storyline going if it lives. Also Giants @ Eagles week 17 is absolutely getting flexed to SNF if the Eagles are 16-0 heading into that. Interestingly enough, it was week 17 of the 2007 season when the Patriots played the Giants on SNF to complete their undefeated season.
November 11, 20223 yr On 11/6/2022 at 8:00 PM, Wallyhorse said: With the Pack losing to the LIONS, the Cowboys probably wax them even in Lambeau next week and they are 3-7. Colts are in total freefall and the Cowboys likely beat the snot out of them in Week 13 (after the Eagles do the same in Week 11). Looking like Eagles next Sunday Night Game may be a week later than originally planned as I suspect Pack-Eagles gets flexed out in Week 12 (replaced by Bengals-Titans) while Colts-Cowboys (which has the makings of a 45-0 beating) in Week 13 likely also gets flexed out of SNF, replaced by Titans-Eagles. Dude - may I suggest not starting a thread like this based on conjecture. Wait until there's some hard info.
