I thought the "flex" games were resevered for important games!!

Don't pretend to be naive on this. The Patriots equal RATINGS. That's why they were flexed to SNF. The Networks basically want every game they can get with the Pats for obvious reasons.

Nobody wants to watch the Bills and/or Eagles pretend to be good teams.

This ^^^^^^

Bengals vs Steelers would get better ratings than Texans vs Pats

......I think the Steelers are on at night [again] in the next two weeks...?

No way in hell are NBC keeping that Ravens/Steelers game....That would be a tragedy

Apparently the experts at the networks disagree?

......Pats remaining 4-games were all at 1-pm,......*@Jets/12-27,...might've made a better flex/choice..?*.

Possibly? Again on paper Bengals vs. Steelers are probably the best match up of the week.

Its their only good game on paper of the weekend so I'm guessing they protected it more than NBC chose Pats/Texans over Steelers/Bengals.

Or apparently the Steelers played last Sunday night

Youre welcome

The Cards have been on pt seemingly every week for the past month.

You can't be this stupid.

Even the Houston cheerleaders talking shit on Twitter.

Not a ton to choose from this week. PIT v CIN would have been my flex choice.

At least they kicked SEA v. BAL to the curb. Who would want to watch that scrimmage? Jimmy Claussen shouldn't be in the NFL, much less prime time.

 

[RobToxin]

Cinci vs Pittsburgh may have been protected or may have not been available anyways? I dunno the rules about playing two Sunday night games in a row as the Steelers played the Colts on Sunday night last weekend. Maybe they aren't allowed to play on back-to-back Sunday nights?

I didn't even think about that. Very possible that may have been the case

This.. The other networks have some right of refusal on games being flxed.
