turningpoint Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Kickoff time for the Bengals’ Nov. 20 home game against the Indianapolis Colts has been moved to 4:15 p.m., the NFL announced today. The game originally was scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.“Kickoff times are occasionally changed to help our network TV partners maximize ratings,” said Greg Aiello, NFL Vice President of Public Relations. “In this case, CBS wanted to take the Bengals-Colts game and move it into the national doubleheader window on Nov. 20. It shapes up as a very attractive game between teams with two of the league’s best records, and this switch will allow it to be shown to as many fans as possible across the country.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalboomer7 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 It shows that nationally the Bengals have become a draw. I like this, and I think it will lead to more primetime games next year(but winning does things like this, we just never knew it)Plus, I think it shows an amount of respect within the league.

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 They are going to bill this as Manning vs. Palmer, Indy's new D, Bengals new D.MOre than anything, this is a move towards better matchups on MNF in years to come.

HoosierCat Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Funny footnote to the time change: look who we punked :lmao: Steelers Notebook: Start time of Nov. 20 game against Ravens changedTuesday, November 01, 2005By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteThe Ravens' unexpected poor season has prompted officials from the NFL and CBS to pull their game off national television with the Steelers Nov. 20 in Baltimore.The kickoff, originally set for 4:15 p.m., was moved to 1 p.m. The game will be replaced by one involving another AFC North Division opponent, the Bengals against the unbeaten Colts in Cincinnati. That game will be shown at 4:15 p.m. to most of the nation on CBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacD BengalFan Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 What a hypocritical move. If they pulled the Pitt/Baltimore game because of the bad season the Ravens are having, then this game should be moved to Monday Night!!! That game is Minnesota/Green Bay. Oh, that's a real big game. What a bunch of crap. While I am happy to see the game time changed and the increased coverage, they didn't go far enough. It should be on Monday Night! The NFL can be such hypocrites!

The new TV deal they struck that starts next year (and moves Monday games to espn) will allow them to move a limited number of games from Sunday to Monday. But this year they can't. In any event, if the Bengals keep winning, they'll see more Monday night games regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalNation1281 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 If we playe like we did against pittsburgh we wont get past indy. but i think we will get past them because we want this game rally bad.i hoppe we kill them. We won't have another game like we had against Pittsburgh, not even in their house on 12-4. That loss was followed by the media jumping back on the "Bengals aren't good enough" bandwagon, and I know that it has to fire them up the rest of the way.Unfortunately, I will already be drunk at 3:15 CST, so hopefully this drunk is better than the Jacskonville game drunk that I had.
