GoodnightATL Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) The NFL's “flexible scheduling” plan was suppose ensure that the games with the most interest would be moved to aprimetime slot a this time of year... How is a game between two runaway division leaders of more interest then a game between two wild-card contenders with what was once arguably the face of the NFL coming to playhis old team for the first time after incarceration NOT of more interest?!? Is this just me being a biased Falconsfan???http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/11/24/vikings-cardinals-game-flexed-to-prime-time/PS. my anger is in no way related to the fact that I live in England so wantevery Falcons game on primetime so I can watch it on TV and not have to relyon unreliable streams lol Edited November 24, 2009 by R13jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Dog Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You really want the nation to see McNabb rip this secondary up? It's fine as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmildog Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I would guess that it is because both of those teams have winning records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMVP Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think you're being a Falcon homer :P I don't want it moved. Until last Sunday the Eagles have been terrible on Sunday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealfalcoN Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You really want the nation to see McNabb rip this secondary up? It's fine as it is.True...with the way our secondary is playing, mcNabb will own us. Hopefully we win that game at home. If not the media will crown Vick as the conqueror who returned to his rightful home and won the game from Matty Ice.Even if he was on the bench. The Nation should not see that crap.

NZFalcon Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 While i think the Eagles Falcons game is more interesting, they dont want to play DeCoud (and others) opening up a can of whoop *** all over YKW one play on primetime tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerillaOntology Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If #7 was starting quarterback for them at that time you can sure as **** bet they'd move it. However, Vikings are too hot right now and the media is straddling the helmet's horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymadd Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I want to keep it a 1pm so that i can get home for the Dome at a decent time to get ready for work the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMVP Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The game will be hyped as Vick returning to Atlanta....but he's a non story in my eyes.It's about the Eagles beat up secondary/LB corps (that can't cover a TE) going against the best ever....and it's about the Eagles passing attack vs the struggling Falcon secondary...

GoodnightATL Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Get NFL Network Sunday ticket. Can't... I live in England lol. Probably why I want every Falcons game on prime-time... I'll just continue to relyon unreliable streams then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZFalcon Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The game will be hyped as Vick returning to Atlanta....but he's a non story in my eyes.You mean he is a non story :unsure: but all i ever read on here is that he is tearing up the league and is definitely gonna be the MVP this year :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnFalcon Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) F-A-V-R-EThis is 100% the reason. The NFL is in love with Brett Favre. Last week on my DVR is said the Falcons vs Panthers on channel 5. I was so excited to see this game. It was a divisional battle, as well as a battle for a playoff push. And what do they do? A few hours before the game it changes to Vikings and Lions. A first place team against a last place team that is going nowhere. Absolute BS. I hate Brett Favre and the media love affair.

DeathFromAbove Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I will never understand why some fans get so hyped up about being on national TV. I guarantee you every coach in the NFL would do nothing but Sunday afternoon games given the choice. Because you do realize that nothing but Sunday afternoon games would be optimal for best performance right? And isn't THAT what matters? Let the rest of the country watch us in the PLAYOFFS!

He's been in the league 19 years and never missed a start since being named the starter. He holds so many records it is not funny - and he is arguably playing his best year ever at the age of 40.It's a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(still just frustrated over the game change) It is really just the media affair. Fave is playing lights out this year at 40. Not sure but I think he has over 20 Tds and like 4 picks. That is amazing.

He holds so many records it is not funny - and he is arguably playing his best year ever at the age of 40.It's a story.No doubt - completely agreeThere were countless people saying that he was done and wouldn't make that big a difference. Putting him with Brad Childress was a dangerous combo. Childress is a Reid disciple - and Reid was Favre's QB coach when he the Packers went to back-to-back Super Bowls. Childress absolutely knows Favre...and unlike Reid, he values the running game much more. Bad combination for opposing defenses.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathFromAbove Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I still say Favre will screw up in the playoffs, and then what, I guess dither about retirement AGAIN. And really unless they win the superbowl was it all worth it? Because they won't have a QB of the future.He's a total attention w----, far worse than TO or OchoCinco.
