fair chance for prime time in 2 weeks

If Bengals win on Sunday nbc might flex Chiefs game to Sun night

[Sled21]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo……………. let's keep playing all games at 1PM, and let Sirius analysts keep pretending we don't exist, until the AFC CHampionship game....

[Bengalfan4life27c]

Collinsowrth calling that game against Texans got rid of Zampeze so it couldn't hurt. we are not supposed to win against Chiefs anyway.

Rams at 49ers currently in that slot. Lost some luster with Garapolo's injury, true. But, still two west coast teams, one of whom is dominating the league. And, it might be hard for NBC to give up the LA and SF tv markets to gain the KC and Cincinnati markets.

I'm with Sled: I'd prefer Sundays at 1:00 and avoiding primetime until the post-season.

Don't believe games get flexed until later in the year.

And no, **** flexing games. Keep at 1.

agreed.

Plus here in England if the game goes prime time its more likely its blocked in region on game pass. 

Talk about Catch 22 --- Bengals keep winning = less chance we can watch them,  Bengals do OK / lose the odd game = I can watch games live!

They can move games to Sunday night starting with week 5 but they're only allowed to move two games before week 11.

But agreed, keep everything at 1:00.

Similar effect on the game day experience here:  winning means more parking issues, traffic, clogged concourses and lines for concessions and the restroom.  Conversely, losing means lots and lots of elbow room.

They made an adjustment a little while back that allows 2 flex games between week 5 and 10. The teams have to be given 12 days notice though, so we'd have to know before we play the Steelers.

Just saw Rams vs 49'ers is the Sunday night game that week.....I can see them making the move.

The last thing the Bengals need is for any of the next few games to be "flexed" to Prime Time. Keep the team under the radar. Keep the pressure to minimum. Games at KC are tough as it is, do not need night time crowd and spot light.

Agreed! It could turn out as a nationally televised anyway....

Gotcha, many thanks for the clarification :)

Somebody on twitter said NFL has to announce any flex 12 days prior to game, so we'll hear something by tomorrow. Personally, I hope Bengals keep playing all 1:00 p.m. games and national media keeps ignoring them. Let them keep slobbering all over the Patriots/Chiefs/Brownies while Bengals win the division.

The Chiefs already play this Sunday night so it is unlikely to get flexed to the night game....however I wouldn't be surprised if the start time get moved to late afternoon but then it would be bumping the National Cowboys-Redskins game

That's what I thought as well.  Only when there are playoff implications in the final few weeks.

Cowboys are on national TV every damn week and they suck.

They are America's team...

Guess i have to keep saying this, but this year, this team is different.

I sure hope we can change it up and start winning games at a different time than 1:00.

Plus i would like to watch my team once in awhile except when games have to be changed due to blowouts.

This group is changing the ways of old and forging ahead believing. 

Not afraid of any time changes this year.
