They replace it with Patriots @ Bills.

Bears will play the Seahawks at 3:15.

can't say I blame them.

Too bad they can't change that Redskin Thursday nighter in early Dec. then followed by a Monday night against the Vikings.

No. But Giants vs Detroit is the best game that week. That looks to be the most competitive game. Maybe the Giants are prime timed out. You can only have 5 night games by NFL rules.

America wants to see Brady and the Patriots. Plus they're undefeated and everybody loves that too.

You know what this means. The Bears were maxed out with scheduled night games this year. They had five.

With this being taken away the Bears could be flexed in later in the year.

a. If they get back into contention.

b. Even if they don't they finish the year vs the Packers and the Saints. Those teams might need those games and they might be the best on the schedule at that point. With other teams already sewing up their playoffs.

Bears fans will be pissed again like last year. The last two games are home games with 12:00 start times. We'll see. It's possible.

Bears have 2 night games in week 14 and 15 anyway. A Thursday nighter and a Monday nighter. Both road games. Those can't be flexed. Only Sunday night games can be changed.

I don't really mind the change, it just means we'll get a better game later in the season in prime time, although it's hard for me to see that being a good game since Buffalo loses by 3-4 TD's.

Patriots is NFLspeak for Yankees.

However, the last 2 games have a little * after them meaning those games are "subject to flexible scheduling".....

I know they can be switched. So do Bears fans. I'm just saying they'll be pissed. Especially considering that they had 5 night games scheduled and weren't eligible until the Seahawks game was removed.

I go to the Bears/Packers every year and will be pissed if they switch it like they did last year. That fucked up everyone in attendence's New Year's which wouldn't have been too bad if they didn't lay the biggest egg of the season that night.

I'll be pissed. I would expect night games in December to be miserable. The NFC Championship game last year against the Saints was an exception (obviously). The Bears dominance kept me warm that cold night.

I don't like it. I am going to Seattle for the game and when it was a night game that meant 5:15 start out there. Now it looks like it will be a 1pm start. We will have a 4-hour drive from my brother's to the game so if we want to do a proper tailgate now we will need to get up at 3 am.
