Prime Time Games

[Garthshort]

Schedule comes out today. I'm guessing two PT games. SF and Philadelphia. Anyone agree/disagree?

Sounds reasonable to expect those two. Didn't we play the NFC East last yr?

 

[crisper57]

If the Jets game is early in the season, we might get that one in PT. They will want to milk the Tebow/Sanchez drama early and often.

I don't think we will get SF in PT. I think they will have higher profile opponents than us. Bears, Packers, Patriots, Jets, Saints will use up the Niner quota for PT games and we will be stuck with afternoon match-ups with them.

 

[earthsci]

I just hope that the prime time games are away games.

Not expecting any Sunday nighters and either one or two Monday/Thursday nighters.

I don't think we'll be on PT at all during the regular season - unless one appearance is mandatory.

The reason we drew two preseason PT games was to make up for our drawing the minimum of reg season contests.

I agree had zero prime time last year and expect much of the same this year.

We will get at least 1...take it to the bank!!!

December home game vs the 4and9ers on Sunday and then the next Thursday a night game vs the Patriots in Foxboro in the snow. That's the way the NFL rolls when it comes to Arizona.

I actually think that if every team has to have one, this will be ours.

Tend to agree. At least we will get one...maybe a Niners MNF job too.

Even if it means a 2am kick of it's good for the club

 

[joeshmo]

I thought I heard that every single year every team will have at least one Thursday night game.

Didn't last year??

 

[joeshmo]

Didn't last year??

There was only 8 weeks of Thursday night games. Isn't it every week this year now? I thought they expanded the Thursday night schedule starting this year.

Now I know where I heard it. Jurecki said it on the radio and he tweeted it.

Yep sure I heard the same.

It might be months away but the schedules (sKEDules not SHEDules buy the way) and the Draft just start the mind getting excited for the start of the season.

Pretty favorable layout. New York 12/2 is a crapshoot, but otherwise weather shouldn't be too much of a factor. I like it!

Dan Patrick show today confirmed that every team gets a Thursday night game and that the NFL would try to ensure that the teams playing on Thursday were at home the previous Sunday.

 

[earthsci]

Crap, the Monday Night game is here. Here's to a worthless Tuesday at work!

Green Bay in early November?

Seattle in early December?

Less of a crap shoot but you never know.

Actually, thanks to TIVO and going "La La La. I can't hear you" anytime you're within hearing distance of a TV, radio or streaming PC - every Cardinal game can be a Sunday night PT game.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

Personally, I think we could start being a better poor weather team. Good defense and an improved running game.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

Sounds reasonable to expect those two. Didn't we play the NFC East last yr?

Yes. We play Philly because we both finished in 2nd place. Just like we play Atlanta because we both finished in 2nd place. The NFC division we play all four teams is the NFC North this year.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Yep sure I heard the same.

Do you get to see all games?

You did see SF's games during the playoffs, right? That place turns into a mud pit late in the season. That one could be ugly.
