This is great. Primetime at home vs a non ravens team in December. I like.

Not happy the Chargers game got flexed. Oh well stupid flex scheduling.

 

I don't like it as a ticket holder I like being home at 6-6:30 pm and not 1:30am and going to work the next day.

 

Feel free to move this into the other thread.

 

It's for ratings. They can't continue to put sorry games as prime time games. I applaud this.

 

We beat LA by 40 points. It's hard to hear everyone down there when we are so high up above sitting on all these championships.

 

That's the game were flying in for. Gonna be a long night now hahahahaha the bird back to Cali flies at 6 am.

I already know the answer but just to make sure, flex scheduling won't effect our tix correct?

 

The next week, it is unfair that Chicago got flexed to Sunday night, when they have a Thursday morning game later that week.

 

Wow...That's beyond rotten

 

It's all part of the NFL player safety initiative.

 

troybellringer 55 can you explain why the Chargers-Steelers game has been flexed? I thought you said CBS was using a condom?

1. Chargers at Steelers may get get flexed to Sunday night, because SF is at Sea.

   CBS protected that one. It's still a 1 pm game. It will not be flexed.

Yeah, figured they had to flex out of that Raiders game. Too bad it's on Fox, I'm sure that means I won't see it in Eagles country.

I expect week 17 vs the Bungles to be flexed to Sunday night too.

 

They don't play Sunday night games 1n week 17 anymore.

 

Another post about bell? ...wait....nevermind.

 

I read online on the postgazette, that when the jags game was forced out that, CBS was protecting the Steelers chargers, and Steelers patriots games and they wouldn’t be flexed I’ll see if I find the article

 

I can’t find the article, but my guess is the NFL told cbs they couldn’t protect this (Steelers and Chargers) one, being that CBS is broadcasting patriots vs Steelers, saints vs Steelers,

I guess CBS just really likes us for ratings. Sorry for this mis info but I did read it that cbs was protecting the chargers vs Steelers game. I’m guessing nfl said no too bad.

 

The information I read was different. I was under the impression that while there is no Sunday night game scheduled for week 17, one would be flexed in.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Like Tomlin says, "When the Steelers play, its a 5-star matchup."

 

Here's a link to an article about it last year, so I believe the same rationale would be applied this year.

This sucks.

 

Sorry I prefer it. Only because of bens prime time records.

 

I have tickets. I would get home about 2. I get up at 5 for work. Not counting beer.

So, do I sell the tickets or do I loose a vacation day?

And this really screws with the people who come in from out of town and have Saturday hotel reservations.

 

Yea I kinda figured you were a ticket holder.

If Pittsburgh blows our chargers would you feel it’s worth it? Lol

 

Just go in tired, make up the sleep the rest of the week.

 

As an old boss of mine used to say, "you can sleep when you're dead!" Take a vacation day
