How Isn't Our Game On Sunday A Primetime Game?

48 posts in this topic

I don't think the NFL has to worry about which game to make Primetime in Week 1. The ratings will be through the roof on all games since it's the start of a new season.

It happens. We have plenty of other prime-time games to make up for it.

This. I think I'm right in saying we're already joint top of the league in prime-time games. Whilst it would make more sense for this to be prime-time than our game against Jacksonville for example we can hardly complain.

Ravens can't be primetime every week. But it will probably be the focus game at 1 oclock

It is, I just checked the TV guide and here in my part of NC, Ravens-Steelers is on at 1PM on CBS.

It's weird because when they asked the experts what they thought the best game of this week would be it was almost unanimous that it was the ravens vs steelers game.

I think they wanted a New York team to be prime time on 9/11 so the NFL can showcase a memorial they had planned...soooooo we get the Jets

Well I'm 45 minutes away from getting the game. Instead I'll get to watch the KC vs Buffalo. Wonderful.

Yes me too. That KC vs Buffalo game has some thrilling storylines like Chan Gailey returning to face his old team and a possible battle for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Great...

Love that site. So clutch when you're away for college - I'm close to DC and usually miss two games a year due to stupid tv deals.

I like the one o'clock games. Especially for opening game. There will be a nice ceremony by the Army, as well as a fly over at Ravens stadium. This time of year the weather at one PM is usually excellent. Also earlier games tend to have less drunks attending and starting fights with opposing fans. I always feel bad for the kids when ignorant fans (for either team) start fights and curse at each other. At the end of the day, it's a game, plain and simple.

Looks like I will have to go to the bar this weekend. We get to watch Cincinnati/Cleveland here. At least it's a divisional game if I can't sneak out for a while.

Agreed, also have you noticed all of the sudden the Best rivalry in the NFL is the JETS and PATRIOTS , what the heck.

Now all of the sudden the JETS are a great team, i dont think so. To me a rivalry has to build up for a min. of 4 to 5 yrs, not after a yr where they have played each other for 3 or 4 games that were good and all of the sudden its the best rivalry.
