patriotsheatyan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It seems normal to have 6-10 1:00 EST games, with probably 8 most weeks. The 4:05-4:25 EST games meanwhile usually only have 2-4 games. Is this an issue that needs fixing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitch Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 As a fan of no team who likes to watch good games, I would be happy if there were a few more slots. Often there are two good games at the early slot. But I'm OK with how it is as well. 5 games Is plenty. Plus I get the extra mnf game in week 1, the 2 Saturday games in week 15 or 16, the 3 games on thanksgiving, and 2 or 3 earlier London games. So it averages out to an extra half game per week over the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It’s a network issue, they want more eyes on their bigger games. Creates better ratings and more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I would actually love a staggered schedule of 30 Minutes apart until about 4:30 PM EST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt the opposite - that the nfl does surprisingly little to put their big games in the main slots. Tnf games are often ones you can see the moment they are announced won't be great. Mnf games as well often seem to be so random. In general many of the prime time games aren't the ones everyone is talking about and while later in the season that can be understandable to some extent, in the early weeks, when hype is still largely based of previous season records, it wouldn't be hard to find the biggest game and put it in a prime time slot (eg packers vikes was a far more obvious choice for a Sunday night game than packers bears). They also very rarely change the snf game later in the season. Very often there are better options for the slot. I remember a few years ago after the seahawsks superbowl, neither the afc c rematch of broncos pats nor the superbowl rematch of broncos seahawks made prime time. Broncos made other games on prime time that year, as did pats and hawks, but those rematches were as big as the nfl had at that time. They overlooked them. Not that it's all bad. Sometimes some of these random choices turns out quite good and I'm glad I got to see the whole game. Packers bears being a good example (this year and also the one in 2013 when mcowan won in green Bay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I'm fine with it, I kinda like the bulk of the NFL playing the same time. Makes it more exciting for fantasy and stuff. The 4:00 games seem to be for West coast teams and for FOX and CBS to choose their best games of the week (at least what games they think will be prior to the season).

patriotsheatyan Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Does anyone atleast agree that mid season when we have bye weeks and only have 2-3 games some weeks at 4 that it is not enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Sunday early, Sunday late, Sunday night, MNF, and TNF. 5 time slots is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I detest the 4:00 PM games. Literally the worst part of the day to have a game. Can't really do anything before, or after a game at that time of the day on a Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
