Awesome! Huge sigh of relief it was flexed to Sunday night and not Monday.
I'm willing to bet this team is beyond the primetime issues. They're simply too good to let that slow them down anymore.

I thought we'd HAVE to beat the prime-time curse this year because the games we had were almost all "easy" wins. Now it looks like Denver and Arizona could be tricky.

As of now NYG v. CAR looks like the sexiest game that week.

IDC if we lose the next two games. We need to win the "**** you Palmer you prima dona piece of shit" game.
I wanted it to be in the afternoon. It's like the NFL wants us to lose.

I'm excited that it's flexed as I will be there for the game. It shouldn't matter what time we play. I think this team will be ready. Just treat it like a business trip.

As far as I understand, the MNF schedule is set in stone, prior to the season. The only games that can be flexed, are Sunday games.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

This is the way I'm looking at it Sunset. I think this team is different and will show that they are ready for Prime Time, playoffs, or whatever anybody wants to throw at them!!!
This is going to be our year!!

So you don't mind if we lose two home games, both being AFC games and one being a division game, so long as we win an away game against an NFC team? **** that noise.
I could give a rat's ass about the Cardinals. If we're gonna take an L, that's the one to lose. We have to lay a beatdown on the Shit Stains to go 3-0 in the division and then get some Texans payback the following Monday night in a rockin' PBS. Meanwhile, you just sit on your couch not caring.

Good news is, I have to work Sunday during the regularly scheduled game, but I will be home for the Sunday night affair.
Bad news, another big stage game to overcome..............however, this is the year to rewrite the past!
You sure stuck in the past, with that kind of thinking we should have lost yesterday to Steelers. you give way to importance to to history there's a reason they call it history. Do you think yesterday the Bengals on the sidelines were saying O the Steelers have won six championships we're not going to be able to win today give the history a break please I'm trying to live in the present

It is looking foolishly way forward, but how sweet would it be to be strolling out of that AZ prime time game 10-0 ?
Dream over, got to concentrate on Browns game.

One is against a team that always takes at lease one from us, let that be it.
The other is a team that will be lucky to make it past .500.
The Bengals deserve a "**** you Carson" moment when he's at his highest.

You're really better with us losing a division game to a shitty team at home in three nights than a road loss to an NFC team that's winning their division? Whatever, bra.

In a way it seems like the NFL Gods are setting Dalton up for a "cant play in prime time" situation, having 3 in a row, but at the same time this is an awesome test for Dalton and the team as a whole to get used to the bright lights before the playoffs come. The way I see it, we are pretty much a lock for the playoffs so why not get some Prime Time practice before hand.
