Car vs. Minn

Tomorow is the day the NFL decides if we are being flexed out of Dec. 20th sunday night game vs the vikings. With us all but one loss away from being eliminated from playoff contention and the Vikings having the division pretty much wrapped up if the Packers lose tonight, do you think we will get flexed out?

[Dpantherman]

As long as Brett Farve is QB, thats all that matters. they could be playing the Browns and it wouldn't matter.

[rko396]

I hope so.

I hate the Sunday night slot.

why?

[tarheelpride]

They'll flex us out most likely and put a game with significant playoff implications. I'm thinking they'll flex Cincinnati and San Diego into that slot and give us a primetime game on Fox to make up for it.

i think Cincinnati San Diego is protected by CBS..PFT had an article about how the other game options that aren't protected for that week aren't that much more tempting.

I figured it would definitely get flexed but I had not thought of the Brett Favre aspect. fingers crossed.

you might be right. CBS has the double header that week. The lack of another attractive game that week means we stay there by default most likely. unless they flex New Orleans or Indianapolis.

A bunch of reasons but the biggest one is that in my opinion the coverage is always lopsided to the team with the the largest market.

In this case it will be a 3.5-4.5 hour Farve/Peterson/Allen love fest that I can do without.

Not only that but I really hate watching us get our teeth kicked in on national broadcasts and this has the potential to get WAY out of hand.

You are correct, however they still do that no matter the announcer or time. Including national highlight shows.

They can flex the Thursday and Saturday games?

[E CaT PanTHer]

Demand is HIGH for this game. You should see what they're selling for on ebay and stubhub. Not what is being asked but actually selling.
