I know that, but one would think the bengals would get at least the same amount of primetime night games as the jets. 

Screen time is up, schedule is out ?

It’s all numbers. Not saying I’m not surprised but mostly about SNF. Rodgers is Rodgers and NYC is NYC. All the Bengals TV games are vs huge TV markets teams or top teams .Are they not?

I think that changed this year

Bengals vs Packers is the first game of the season (preseason week 1)

I know that’s a meaningless game but still a possible first look at Jordan Love as the GB starter.

I'd have rather started with the Cheifs.

Definitely a lack of primetime games. This makes me consider getting the Youtube deal.
We had a lot more primetime games last year.

Making Bills primetime but not KC is questionable.
KC will definitely be a great game. We may blow the Bills out again.

9ers Bengals would have been a great primetime game as well.
That'll be a tough game.

If we are going to face Watson perhaps best early on as he continues to get his footing back after 2 years off. Ravens have a lot of young receiving talent. Can't argue it might be best to face them later on the off chance Lamar gets hurt, but then again he missed the back half of last year so he as well is getting his footing back on the field. Also we could always hope for fat cat syndrome where he stops trying to perform his best now that he's gotten his money.

Good point on Watson. It'd be nice to play the Ravens later in the season.

Browns/Ravens both present tough defensive matchups. Hopefully the offensive side of the Raven's/Brown's game is more dysfunctional.

I was just noticing we don't play the Jets. That probably would have been a primetime game. Could be a good matchup in the playoffs.

I think we'll still see a lot of Bengals games with a wider national broadcast window because of the great matchups.

I see the Bengals play a Thursday night game against the Ravens. I hate these games are only on Amazon Prime. I think a local station might pick them up for us that week. However, the other weeks are frustrating since I don't want to pay for it. You'd think the NFL channel would show the game live or something instead of the replay.

Do the free trial before the game.

I know it is PreSeason and many starters won't play, but the 2nd, 3rd week of PreSeason and the 1st week of the season are all on the road.
Too much traveling.

It got flexed because everyone knows the steelers suck ass.

I remember the Bengals playing (and beating) the Ricky Williams-led Dolphins in a Sunday Night Primetime game.  Oktoberfest was still going on that day so the crowd was very well "lubricated".  I remember thinking that was the craziest crowd game I have ever seen for the Bengals.  

Even the Packers got 6 stand alone games....

Like that the Mayor kind of took a shot at himself.  That BS last year was cringe-worthy.

I didn't realize there were still people who didn't have Amazon Prime, I thought it was federally mandated. That's what my wife told me, anyway. I'm sure you have a family member or friend who would share their login with you as a one-time thing. 

You do not have to have Prime to get Prime Video. Prime Video u
Is available as a stand alone service for $8.99 per month. Also Prime has 30 day no obligation free trial so you can get it for a month and then cancel before the check comes due

We have 7 stand alone games with the potential of an 8th. 4 Primetime and 3 late afternoon national games. Plus the Minnesota game has no date or time assigned yet

If there are still people who do not have Prime, they simply either never get anything delivered and enjoy driving to the store to stand in line to check out, or they simply can't add. 

I must say, the Bengals' schedule release video is pretty lackluster.
It's on the homepage of the mother ship, for anyone interested to see it.

Agreed - I think it was supposed to be apps but it was kind of a mess
I think the Titans had a good one…
