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

[packerzrule]

I just heard the Texans/Patriots game was moved to SNF

WTF is that?!?!

 

[redseat]

Losing two straight and possibly losing home field advantage I guess does that

 

[redseat]

But this was flexed last week

I just heard about it today

Still don't think this game is worthy

no I know you just did, not sure it was widely known. it's the NFL does anything they do make sense?

If you want to pretend the games are being flexed based on which is important...OK...but, it's all about the benjamins...Plus remember some games are going to be off limits

 

[BigKen]

NBC has the right to "Flex"any game they believe that will juice their ratings if the scheduled game looks to be a dud. I believe that the original game for Sunday was supposed to be Seattle/Baltimore. After losing to Denver, NBC probably thought that Houston/New England would have more interest. Houston's been playing much better the past few weeks............they could take out the Pats if the Pats offense doesn't get things together.

The Texans are in the thick of the playoff race and their division race, and the Patriots are in a battle for home field advantage. This game is extremely important, and will be very good. It's a great matchup. Don't get the hate.

I hate the late start (for back east). I have to take a nap to make sure I don't pass out before halftime.

Texans are playing well and have a shot at talking the Div, and everyone loves the Pats, so there you have it.

I hate the SNF games too, but incredibly this is one Sunday where I love it. Going on a trip and arriving at hotel just before kick-off.

All part of the plan, all part of the plan. After the NFL moves things around and gives their officiating crews their instructions, that game will be primetime worthy.

I agree.

Definitely, expecting a defensive battle. Brady better let go of the medium and long passes and stick to dink n dunk or JJ Watt is going to kill him.

I agree.

LOL, I see what you did there.

It's on relatively early out here and I could still easily pass out before halftime....

Extensive Happy Hour and a PVR delay contribute heavily to that...

Good point guys will be cheering for Watts and Clowney to take off Brady's head. Plus Ex Pats coach's Obrien,Crennell and Pats fav Mike Vrabel . And former playerswith Wilfork, Hoyer and Mallet

 

[Broncosr0k]

I would rather watch the Pat/Texans over the Seahawks/Ravens.

One has playoff implications for both teams. The other has playoff implications for one and draft implications for the other.

So true, the O-line coach has a full plate this week.

.....every game remaining on the Pats schedule will be worthwhile [now] that they're like a ''wounded'' animal,....plus they're still the ~reigning-champs~ too,....*another loooong-day/rollz-eyez*.
