Pats vs Ravens Bumped

[TKO]

It was supposed to be the Sunday Night game but it's been moved to 4:25 p.m because they'd rather show the Eagles vs the Bears.

That's insulting.

Not to Eagle and Bears fans.

Good. I hate Sunday Night games for two reasons:

1) Get more value from NFL Sunday Ticket;

2) Have work after-action review of weekly activities at 8:00 AM on Mondays - usually am sleeping by halftime on Sunday nights and there is no room to have some drinks during the game. Early games are best because you can catch an early buzz, have a good dinner and be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Monday morning

 

[NEhomer]

I'm with Dude. Buzz, eat, sleep...ready for work. I'll take 4:25 every week.

This actually pisses me off.

The Chicago - Eagles game should be a good one. Both of these teams are fighting to get in the playoffs. If you have Balt - NE rematch in mind - this ain't it. Baltimore was and if we beat them it's no big deal. If they beat us it's just the injuries. I think they made a good decision. Don't like it but I understand.....

 

[Drawmeomg]

Love it. I hate sunday night games.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

I agree. I hate the Sunday night games, like this one coming up between the Bengals and Steelers. Totally throws my Sunday's into chaos. I hate primetime games. I like my team, at my time during Sundays. All feels right in the world when that happens.

No love lost here..Sunday at 425 is great!

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Whatever.

I DVR at least an hour into it so I can FF throught the commercials.

Really? lol... If we win its the injuries? Lets keep it between the lines here.... We havent had a great year thus far but if Cincy loses and we win this week that NE game in Baltimore has HUGE ramifications and I think we win that one whether Gronk played or not. Its usually close between the Ravens and NE anyway to say we only win bc of inuries on your team is a joke especially at M&T. Remember, the clock outside Gillette last year counting down Ray Lewis' retirement with the end at the end of our game? im still laughing about that one dont be tooo confident with Pitta back this team can win.

See ya at M&T.

 

[Tgann69]

and it is a slight...NE v. Baltimore a replay of the last 2 AFCCG is a huge draw... Philly? really?

embarrassing.

Its all the ravens fault

The NFL announced that the Patriots game in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens Dec. 22 will no longer be televised nationally on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" and will be moved to the 4:25 p.m. time slot.

Instead, NBC will air at 8:30 the Chicago Bears-Philadelphia Eagles game, which will likely decide the NFC East title.

The Patriots (10-3) are usually a huge draw for broadcasters, but the Ravens (7-6) have been somewhat of a disappointment coming off their Super Bowl season.

The Patriots-Ravens game will now be on CBS at 4:25.

 

[Tgann69]

You forgot to add if NE loses its only bc of injuries....

 

[Drawmeomg]

I don't have high hopes, but hey, anything can happen.

You forgot to add if NE loses its only bc of injuries....

He's saying that these two teams are not at their best, or at least aren't viewed that way on the national stage. It's not like a rematch of the juggernaut Patriots and Ravens teams of the last few years.

Which is kind of crap, they're two of the three or four teams most likely to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl this year, but that's how they're viewed right now.

 

[Tgann69]

^I totally agree with that but thats not what I read. Doesnt matter.

I see the Pats as a serious contender and imo dont see the Bengals or Broncos doint <hit against u; after watching the Broncos last night im laughing...I mean on the floor laughing.

If we can make it to the playoffs I think we can make some noise...not so sure that will happen though at this point...Its funny bc we still have a chance to win the AFCN if Cincy <hits the bed in Pitt and we win... we shall see.

 

[Drawmeomg]

The Bengals beat us once already, with essentially the same offense we have now, before our defense fell apart... they're by no means a pushover. Beatable, but not a pushover.

 

[Tgann69]

They are never a pushover... However we played th already beat them and and we are now much healthier then we were then.

I think we beat them especially bc Salton is their QB and it's December.
