Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 4 hours ago, Bucketheadsdad said: I think this is a terrible idea for fans. Those fans that purchase tickets. It may not impact alot of them, but if I've planned a trip to a game, booked my flights, etc., and then the league moves the game? That, in my opinion, is very disrespectful. Right. A Sunday game flexed out of SNF is still a Sunday game so odds are travel plans won't be messed up (unless someone planned to travel in Sunday day then go right to the game.) A flexed MNF game moves to 1pm Sunday which screws up a lot of things with hotels/flights/driving. Plus even non-traveling home fans get screwed because a lot of fans take half or all of Monday off to get out to the game and/or take Tuesday off because the game doesn't get over until 10:30pm.

The NFL has multi-billion dollar TV contracts. That's where it generates it's revenue. There's no logic to what you're saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hukos Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Honestly? Nuke MNF. I've enjoyed Thursday Night Football more often than I've enjoyed MNF in the past five years. And TNF is terrible. It's never going to happen. I'd rather have 2 SNF games (1 at 8, the other at 10:30, probably some west coast game) than MNF anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the NFL is reimbursing fans for travel plans, this is a load of crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 This makes sense if you limit it to happening eight weeks in advance. If a QB goes down in week 4, you can flex their team out of the primetime game in the last quarter of the season. Other than that, this would really suck.

There's no logic to what you're saying. I get your point, but if they don't care, why charge so much for games, since the revenue isn't important? The truth is the area economies thrive on games in their immediate area too. Too many moving parts to change too close to the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the NFL doesn't really care about the fans in the stands. It is all about television ratings and they want competitive games in prime time.

tom cody Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yeah, this makes sense for me as a TV viewer. Allows me to see the best possible match on MNF. Can see why fans who wanted to see the game live would be upset though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
