With Warner gone will the Cards play in Prime Time

[az jam]

I think we will still get some prime time games but not the same if Warner was still here. It will be interesting to see what the networks do.

 

[Cardiac]

Not a fan of Prime Time games anyway.

 

[Perfectionist]

Living on the East Coast, I hate prime time games! I say don't give them any and let Whis use it as locker room material, we are going to need as much as we can get.

 

[WarnerHOF]

Probably will see Cardinals/49ers again.

This. Though I think that it's great that the Cards get attention but I love football on a Sunday afternoon.

 

[Zeno]

I am not a fan of prime time games either. I hate waiting around all Sunday for the night game and I work Monday nights so I always have to burn a vacation(or sick) day to see them play.

 

[Buckybird]

Probably will see Cardinals/49ers again.

probably in AZ, they seem to rotate each year.

 

[TheHopToad]

Yep, I'm sure we'll have the usual 49ers on ESPN game. Wouldn't be surprised to see it as the second game of the opening week MNF doubleheader again either. Although, with Pete Carroll on board, Seattle could be in the mix too.

I'm sure we'll have a couple more primetime games. We have a lot of big teams on the schedule next year (New Orleans, Dallas, Minnesota, San Diego).

If Favre retires, I'm sure the networks will be fighting over the Matt Leinart vs Tavaris Jackson battle...

 

[Shane]

I say 3 national games. Still a successful winning season and we seem to do very well in the ratings on prime time games. I LOVE PRIME TIME!

 

[splitsecond]

Saints/Cards will be primetime, I am calling it now.

 

[ajcardfan]

If we get any prime time games (and we will) I hope they are on the road.

 

[earthsci]

[TJ]

We'll get our annual Cards/9ers MNF (which I hate). We should get 2 others.

Cards still have some charismatic players on this team, including Fitz. If Matty starts performing well, he will win the appeal of some national pundits like he did at USC

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

i say we get at least 2,maybe 3. The prime opponents are Dallas,SD,Minn, and NO.
Looking at it, the Cards have a pretty tough non-division schedule. Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, NO, Minnesota, Carolina, San Diego. That's 6 tough games right there. Still, i'm predicting 10-6 or 9-7. 6-2 at home and 4-4 on the road.

If the Browns can be Prime Times the Cardinals will be too. Unfortunately we are likely to see much more of the Jets than before.

prime time means 2am kickoff's rather than 9.15pm so i am more than happy if thats the case.

...and I still think we struggle on prime time too.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

Cowboys on Thanksgiving would be cool.
If Kurt hadn't retired and the Saints win the Superbowl, I think the Thursday night season opener would have been a possibility. Without the Kurt v. Brees matchup I think its unlikely.

 

[cardsfanmd]

With Matty is lighting defenses up, all the women will be on his ---- again and the league will have no choice but to add us on for a few games in the end of the year.

 

[TheHopToad]

Cowboys on Thanksgiving would be cool.

The Cowboys game will be in Arizona, so it can't be on Thanksgiving. Dallas always gets a home game that day.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

If the guys play well and we win games we will be in prime time. And if Leinart is the starting QB there is a story line the networks will love: Lost-his-starting-job, Heisman winner comes back and is a force in the game. It's not exactly ex-grocery store employee but it would definitely be an angle programming execs and producers would love.

It's all about winning games. We win a lot of games, the networks sell a ton of soap.

 

[chickenhead]

Leinart vs. Carroll is also a storyline if the Cards and Seahawks are in the hunt for the division later in the year.

 

[trueherotillman]

Dallas at Arizona, SNF

Arizona at Seattle, MNF...late in the year.

possibility of NO at Arizona, if it's in the first or last 3 weeks. That's what I'll predict.

 

[WarnerHOF]

I don't think we'll be seeing Seattle on prime time next year.

 

[sportznutt]

I hate waiting all weekend to watch my team.

 

[TheHopToad]

I don't think we'll be seeing Seattle on prime time next year.

I bet they'll be on ESPN at least once because of Pete Carroll. Also, don't forget about NFL Network; they're not afraid of showcasing sucky teams...
