Bump....SHARK, your thoughts please?




The Seattle-St. Louis game, which will decide the NFC West division title, has been moved into the "Sunday Night Football" window as the final regular season game of the NFL schedule.

The league announced late Sunday that the Seahawks-Rams contest will be flexed into the 8:15 p.m. ET window for NBC. Though no rationale was announced for the move, given that both teams are sub-.500, the fact that the winner will advance to the playoffs and the loser will go home likely added an element of drama that made it attractive.

In addition, a handful of games -- all with playoff implications -- have been moved into the late afternoon window for Week 17. FOX will carry the Chicago-Green Bay, Dallas-Philadelphia and New York Giants-Washington games at 4:15 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, CBS will air the Tennessee-Indianapolis and Jacksonville-Houston contests, with the AFC South title still in the balance. Those games will also start at 4:15 p.m.

Normally, either CBS or FOX can carry a 4:15 kickoff game each week, with the networks rotating the late game slot. However, in recent seasons, in order to gin up the importance of the final regular season game, the NFL has permitted both networks to air a game in the late window.

due to family stuff, I wouldn't catch the Bears game at 12 noon, but I can catch it at 3:15. I think it's a great idea to have the Seahawks/Rams game be the night game...

Must see TV, CTF, the Rams & Seahawks are not...However, in my opinion, if St. Louis wins the NFC West, Steve Spagnuolo should be the Coach of the Year.

SHARK, you still didn't respond to this though....




You were wrong. Thoughts?

I stand corrected...I didn't think there was going to be a "Sunday Night Football" finale, considering what NBC Sports had done in previous years. Due to the World Series in recent years, NBC actually didn't air a game opposite the "Fall Classic"... I know the Falcons/Saints' game does wrap up "Monday Night Football" this eve.
