D^3 12 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 SaWEET. And no doubt we will be a trendy pick (unfortunately) so maybe we can get a couple of Monday Night games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ibis1 2 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I really hope all the prime time games are on the road. Monday/Sunday night games are not fun the morning after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdman4life 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not calling you out or anything...but that's 36 games (assuming they don't play eachother)....there are only 16 weeks of Monday games and 17 weeks of Sunday night games...that's 33 gamesdoes this include Thursday night, Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon nationally televised games? That would be the only way it would make sense...especially considering the 49ers, Raiders, Jets, and Browns get primetime games every year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon_farmer 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hopefully they'll be Sunday night games. I'm not a big fan of Monday night football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, many of the playoff teams typically play each other which is probably the reason the Falcons didnt make the list in 2008 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdman4life 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yeah, you might be right. But 12 teams each getting 3 games is 36 games...Mind you, I have no idea...you probably are correct, but in my mind it doesn't seem like every playoff team gets 3...that's a lot...although...I hope you are correct. Good find if you are right though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be the only way it would make sense...especially considering the 49ers, Raiders, Jets, and Browns get primetime games every yearThere were only 2 or 3 Thursday night games, exluding the NFL channel. Of course, this was prior to the NFL channel airing games. If you don't beleive me then go back to prior seasons and see how many times each playoff team from the previous year had nationally televised games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good find if you are right thoughAgain, most of the games are matchups between teams that also made the playoffs, which kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Not always, but 98% of the time 2 playoff teams are matched up. For instance, they will not televise the Falcons and 49ers next year on Monday/Sun night. They will probably do the Falcons/Panthers or Falcons/Philly or Falcons/NY....get the picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdman4life 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 just checked the Seahawks...they played 1 primetime game this seasonnot going to check anymore since it is already proven wrong, but that was the first team I checked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, I can guarantee you that the Patriots, who didn't make the playoffs, will have at least 2 nationally televised games. But they will play those games against other teams that did make the playoffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdman4life 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 no, the Seahawks made the playoffs last season...they only had 1 prime time game this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirtybirdz91 1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm definitely looking foward to those 3+ weeks then! I won't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning every day for school when the season starts, so I'll definitely be watching those games all the way to the end! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-Dub 1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 No, this is false. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdman4life 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 No, this is false.yeah, just checked the seahawks and they only had 1 pt game this season....but I think ATL will get several because of the pub. Ryan and Smith got this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will get a couple probably but evryone guarenteed 3 is not true. I've been watching for over a couple decades and this would be the first time I ever heard something like that mentioned. I would prove it wrong but don't feel like looking crap up like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rgreen0920 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its been that way for a whileno...not true.....it is not guarenteed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J-Wall 930 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I dont know if that is the case or not but i would say we get 3 games on primetime. 1 monday night 1 sunday night and 1 on NFLN. I would also say we get 2 on the road and 1 at home. The road games being NYG(mon) Cowboys(Sunday) and home against the Panthers(nfln) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frankthetank966 14 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its been that way for a whileWhat really? I never noticed that. I was assuming we would get a couple of games next year just because the country is enjoying Matt Ryan's play. Now I know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atlchamp99 269 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 do have any info on this jmike? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyblooz 231 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I don't believe guaranteed 3 is the case, but I am sure we'll get 2 primetime games next year. I'll lay money that one will be Carolina or Philly. I hate home night games since it's an 8+ hour round trip but I'll bet if we play Carolina, it will be a road game.Either way, you can bet on Dallas, N.E, NYG, Baltimore and Philly getting 50 prime time games between them as usual.

lee sunset 865 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Interesting theory but then why did a non-playoff team like the Browns get something like 5 prime time games this season (and obviously shat the bed)? Patriots and Cowboys (other non-playoff teams) will definitely get at least 3 each (but at least some of them against playoff teams). I'll bet we play at least Philly here during during prime time...
