Shylo3716 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Roster overhauling is very much so apart of the game, and as supporters of the sport, we all should be able to experience the change firsthand on Sundays, CBS or FOX networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No, only change I'd like to see to televised games is have a fan choice game every week instead of the Thursday night contests that have to feature every team at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Lol no. Nobody wants to see bad teams in transition on national TV because it doesn't usually make for good football. If the team does better than expected, then they'll be flexed into a primetime spot. Simple concept IMO, you don't usually give a ton of primetime games to teams in transition unless they're big market teams because you don't want to have to flex them out of the spot if they end up being terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I would like them to be more flexible with primetime games. Being forced to watch a team 5x on national TV just because they were projected to be good is not the answer. Like the Giants for instance. I dont want to sit there and watch the 1-9 Giants play the Falcons just because their preseason rankings were good. It would be nice for all primetime games after week 8 to be flexible with a 2 week notice once the NFL has a feeling for what teams are appealing.

Blazer026 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I wish the NFL had something like NHL TV or MLB TV. I know there's Sunday Ticket but I don't want to have to switch to direct TV for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont have to...you can get the streaming version for cheaper and download the Sunday Ticket app on your computer or any streaming device like xbox, ps4, roku, fire stick, apple tv, ect and watch it on your TV. I have Time Warner cable and buy ST every year and watch it on my TV through my Roku and sometimes PS4. https://nflst.directv.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yeah as it would be very nice if they did that. Do something different for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No. This isn't the NBA where you can afford to try and market transitional teams here or there from a 72 gm season (2160 gms) Around 544 televised. NFL only gets 17 weeks (256). Typically around 54 televised. That's 10x less of an opportunity! 17 weeks of trying to not only reach some of the more popular teams/markets in the United States, but expanding that popularity overseas. Now do they over compensate at times by playing specific teams way to much, YES! However the majority (not all) of those games were either or are considered Teams in contention that season or large markets that will bring in the ratings. NFL is all about the Money, always will be. I agree though flexing games should start 1/2 way through the season in case teams bomb like last year's Giants.

SteelKing728 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No thanks. What I'd like is to stop seeing teams playing a schedule that runs as TNF, and then SNF and then MNF. They did that to Miami and Pittsburgh last year from what I recall and I find that ridiculously stupid. Spread the games out a bit, but don't bring these "up and coming" teams up like the OP asks.

Soko Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No, but I wish there were easier options to watch other NFL games that aren’t being aired on FOX, CBS, etc. Without the obvious way that I assume many of us (who watch more than the nationally televised games) do.
