    I hope not, I'm tired of all the late games. We play enough as it is.

    I bet it stays at the 4:25 spot, as the doubleheader for everybody.

    I hope the hell not. I prefer the Steelers to play 1pm or 4pm games every week. If I lived on the west coast, it'd be a different story. Prime time games are too late for me and I hate work the next day after prime time games, win or lose.

    I'd prefer it not get flexed unless the 4:25 game is not showing in my area.

    I hope so, love night games! The one time of day I am not likely to be interrupted, can watch the game in peace.

    I'd say the schedule makers knew it was Pats Steelers and that it would be a good game so no on the flex.

    Yep, they would have already scheduled it a night game if that`s what they really wanted.

    That's true. Although Cards Seahawks looked like a p retry marquee matchup too before the season started.

    The Seahawks are still 3-1, but have been way less impressive than everyone thought they'd be. The cards are without Palmer and are 2-3 and have looked pretty bad so far. It's a possibility, but I bet it stays as is.

    I hope both, the Steelers and the NFL are not looking past this sunday's game. We have a battle to win first!
    Let's not overlook the Dolphins.


    However, yes, it makes sense, but I guess each broadcast can protect one game. Probably that game gets protected and it's not flexed.

    Hope not.
    No pressure = Brady 4 TDs.
    Don't want to see that Nationally and hear Collingsworth's gushing love fest.

    I prefer late afternoon versus night. Hate staying up late and it always takes a bit for me to wind down - win or lose.

    The only bad thing if it's in the afternoon - it'll be Sims and Nantz calling the game. Ugh. I'll just hit the MUTE button.

    Yep.

    Partly because they start at 1.30 AM for me. They are night games in the literal sense.

    I'd rather hear Collinsworth anyday over Simms and Nance. Simms and Nance are obvious Patriots homers. Obviously. With that said... I'll tolerate Simms and Nance, just because it's a 4pm game and I don't have to stay up late for a prime time game.

    Rooneys would disagree with you. They do not like 4:30 games. Something about tailgating all day and being drunk and obnoxious lol

    I hope not. I wouldn't even get home from the game until 2 and I get up at 5. Plus I have a night time board meeting Monday. I've found it looks bad if I fall asleep during them.
