kurgan74 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 If the Bengals do win tomorrow, I would think a game between the Bengals and Vikingswould make a very attractive Sunday night game. I know it is likely not to happen since it is currently scheduled to be the Eagles @ Giants, but we can always hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Prime time is too infatuated with the NFC East for that game to be replaced, I think. If both teams are still in the thick of the race, I could see the San Diego game getting flexed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Right on with the damn NFC east. I'm so sick of those losers, especially where I live.The NFL needs to consider exposure of playoff-bound teams - when you have a division leader go the entire season without a single prime-time game, come one.

There was an article about this earlier and I believe it said the best bet for a Bengals game to be flexed is the NY Jets game at the end of the season.

Flexing only goes through week 16.As for the "infatuation" with the NFC East, hey, those are much bigger markets, which equals much bigger ratings. So no surprise there.

gregstephens Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't know. Favre is a huge prime-time draw and if you put him up against the resurrgent defense of this year's 'Cinderella Team', it could have an appeal to flex over the battle between two teams that appear at this point to be 'mid-carders' at best.
