If we beat the Saints next week....

[Salvo]

It's a longshot and impossible if that rule is in fact true.

 

But there's really nothing else going on that weekend. It's currently Pats/Ravens. Meh. Cardinals vs Seahawks? Maybe...but still meh. Giants/Cowboys if both teams were worth a damn.

 

If everything falls into place, we would have the best matchup of the weekend.

woo vajayjays are all irritated up in here.

[Car123]

No

Saints would have already reached the limit of 5 primetime games.

[Panther_Brotherhood]

No

Saints would have already reached the limit of 5 primetime games.

Maybe this is what I was mixed up with

[Awesomeness!!]

Even if it was the rule its hard to believe the NFL wouldn't simply flex it anyway.

[Delhommey]

I'm more worried about Tampa.

[Chaos]

I could see a divisional head to head on primetime twice a year, once on MNF and the other on Sunday night or Thursday night NFL Network.  Regardless, I doubt the same network would carry the same game twice in the same regular season.  Since we've already been flexed to Sunday night next week, that is the only way it could happen twice and I doubt NBC will do that.

 

Here's to 13-3, no matter who airs our games!

[Frank Hollywood]

No. Rule or not, they won't flex the exact same game within three weeks of each other.

You know.. I have pegged this game as a loss for a while now, but then I got to thinking, the Saints will be coming off a huge game, on a short week after Seattle coming off a west coast time zone with only a few days to prepare and shake the jet lag and add the fact we are 5-1 in prime time games under Rivera (yes im counting the pre season prime time games against the Jets and Ravens) and I suddenly dont think this is a sure loss like I originally thought

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I find it hard to believe the NFL would have a rule like that. 

 

If the Giants and Cowboys had good teams, that would be an NFL primetime wet dream.

 

If the game moves the needle then it should be aired on primetime.  We get good numbers even if it is cause all the Aints fans turned the antennae on the trailer then it should happen.

 

More people more advertising more dollars.

[Boltergeist]

Against the rules to have the same game in primetime twice

 

NYG-DAL played both games against each other in SNF in 2011, the 2nd was the Week 17 flex

[Marc Anthony]

Talk about looking past us, the Saints fans think Monday nights game is a preview of the NFC Championship game...lol! Guess they forgot about little 'ol us Panthers...

[KillerKat]

Impossible to beat the Saints next weekend when we play the Bucs
