It's That Time of Year Again (The Week 17 Flex)

They never learn. Year after year Dallas manages to hang around mathematically until the last week of the season. Every year they get flexed into prime time match ups. I'm just tired of it. We've been overexposed to the NFC LEAST. Death, Taxes, and the Dallas Cowboys imploding in the final game of the regular season.

 

Our Panthers will play the Falcons at 1pm on Sunday. I'm OK with this because our opponent is bad and the drive home from Atlanta will be easier to manage on Sunday for fans. It also sets us up for an appealing slate of 4pm games. The Bucs and Saints game may mean little to us by 4pm. That gives us a chance to root for the 49ers vs. Cardinals and the Rams vs. Seahawks. The Packers and Bears looks like a fun game too. With all these appealing match ups I come back to my original point: the Cowboys are depriving us of a good Sunday Night game.

It looks like in Charlotte (Concord for me) that we get 4 afternoon games this Sunday on TWC.

 

CBS are two AFC games already listed.

 

But on Fox they are both TBA.........of course the early game will be us.................but what I'm interested in what game we get on Fox for the late game with so many good ones then.

 

Does anyone know when they post this?

 

Right now it is TBA for Fox at 4:30pm

I hate the Cowboys as much as anyone, but the networks can't really be blamed for the fact that polarizing teams get ratings.

People who love the Cowboys will watch in hopes of seeing them win. People who hate the Cowboys will watch in hopes of seeing them get destroyed. Ditto the Patriots, Steelers and others.

It sucks, but if the goal is to get ratings, then you have to take that kind of thing into account.

right now 506 has us getting the Saints and Bucs which is kind of dumb because that game is meaningless to us if we win.

Yeah I get that but I'm just tired of watching them. They have been consistently mediocre since 1996. I don't find them exciting or interesting. They get by on name. Every time I see Dallas on the prime time schedule I groan. Not because I hate them, because I just don't care.

      Five wins this season.........maybe?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      3 wins might get us the no. 1 pick.  5 wins probably puts us in the top 5.  Look on the bright side.

      Is Hendon Hooker that bad he can't get a shot??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It's not just "week two". Bryce has started 30 games at this point and it's still the same poo. Unless the opposing defense is playing Charmin soft and we seemingly have nothing to play for, Bryce can't do anything.  I'd rather try to land a Jameis Winston or Sam Howell for a late round pick than play Hooker but at this point we gotta try something else.

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      It's really all on Tepper. He was the engine behind the Bryce trade, which the roster obviously wasn't ready for. We wasted a year proving that the roster wasn't ready to support a young quarterback, and then spent a mandatory offseason using all possible resources to patch up the offensive line and find offensive playmakers. Then the defense was the worst in the league, and we spent an offseason trying to solve that. We've been chasing our tail, dealing with problems that Tepper let stagnate while he chased immediate contention, and then the shiny toy of a young QB.  Dan's got a competent contract guy and he's finally hired someone to stop him from wasting draft capital in bad trades. Those two things alone put a functional floor on his performance. I don't think he's got the vision to turn us into the Eagles or the Chiefs, But if the owner's never going to agree to a proper rebuild, it probably doesn't matter.
