Week 14 is when we could be flexed to 8:30 against the Vikings. Currently Steelers/Ravens... Steelers been decent but Ravens trash and both us and the Vikings could be very good fighting for 1/2/3 seed then.

I highly doubt it. Heated rivalry, 2 successful teams through history and a giant fan-base in Steelers will not knock them off Sunday night.

I'd like to think NFL/NBC would put the better matchup in prime, but it's all about bringing in viewers for their advertisers. If Baltimore is still hovering around .500 at least, I bet they have a hard time pulling Pittsburgh out and putting us and the Vikings in. I hope so, though.

Obviously the NFL will analyze it and make the best decision for their bottom line but that also includes the 2nd half of the game, and I expect (just like the NFL may wind up expecting) the Steelers to blow them out and be up huge in the first half and no one will watch the 2nd half. Vikings-Panthers is much more likely to be a game that holds viewers' interest thoughout. I'm not expecting it to be flexed but I think it's possible.

i think its more likely that the Pats/Bills game gets flexed. that could literally help decide that division if the upstart Bills can pull off a win against the mortal-looking Pats

Possible, but FOX has the double header that weekend, and that's a CBS game.

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
