Can anybody think of a reason the NFL is doing this in week 3 this year? I don't mind more football, but why week 3?

Weeks 3, 4 and 5 have games in England. I wonder if Cockney will go to the Jets vs Vikings game...

looking at nfl.com, the Jags-Bills is listed as an ESPN game, with Washington-KC being on ABC.

The local CBS affiliate is carrying the Jags-Bills. The NFL has a rule that requires games to be shown on an OTA station in local markets.

The local ABC station here would probably prefer to show anything other than another NFL game.

With my team playing I'm glad there will be another game to switch to during commercials. But other than that I don't like it much.

2 football games on MNF when there is usually just 1.

They went -1 on Sunday and then +1 on Monday, that's not more games

2 football games competing against each other on Monday night? WTF? In the past, if they had 2 Monday games, one would be an early East coast game and the other a late West Coast game. Having them at 7:30 and 8:15 sucks.bucks. And these are both East coast games.

You do not have a TV where you can have a split screen?

That's unfortunate.

No problem at all at Chez Hankela. Record both, watch concurrently.

I just have to figure out where they put the other games score so I can cover with 4 layers of painters tape.

Easier on Sunday since they use a ticker at the bottom of the screen. These 2 could have a box in a top corner.

I love that there are 2 Monday night games the next 2 weeks - means I can focus more on those games rather than having so many games on at the same time on Sunday.
