I would say the best Prime Time game is the one on NBC and second best is if Thursday Night is on CBS or something like that. Third is ESPN and dead last is NFL Network only.
I think Bengals win in what is a questionable prime time game, due to NFL Network only. Yes it is a night game, just not on a major network as the first few Thursday Night games. With new TVs digital and converter boxes for the few old TVs, the rising prices of cable not in balance with a struggling economy, people are turning in their cable and satellite boxes by the millions. People are finding they can live without the thousands of dollars a year cable bill that provides such garbage as weekly Rocky Movie Marathons, the same Christmas movie ran 24 hours or the burning Christmas fireplace log shown 24 hours. Digital TVs, the internet and new tech are going to make the glory days of cable go the way of the 8 track and the VCR, unless they extremely reduce their prices by half or more the going rate.
Bengals go to 2-2 on the lesser of all the night time game network channels.
I like to define them as 'big stage' games Kevin, which simply means an NFL game that is the only game being played in the NFL at that particular time, regardless if it's only on NFL Network. In other words, if you want to watch an NFL football game live, you only have one choice.
