Redskins - Cowboys Game Flexed to 8:20 PM (Official Thread) (Merged x3)

[Kostaskins]

Must be a jersey gaymen fan!!! Can't wait for next week chump!

I really think Lions-Packers could get moved back to Sunday at 1:00 that day. Rumor has it that Bears/Vikings was protected by FOX.... which leaves Saints/Giants or Ravens/Redskins as the likely ones to take its place. My guess is that they would go with Saints/Giants, but they might really want to push the RG3 card as well

I sure hope none of the games change times, unless it is a monday night or sunday night game. Whenever the Redskins play the 4PM game, I miss the first 10 minutes because the station will not change. I have even seen the 1PM game over in time and they switch to the end of another game which I don't want to see.

[Laxpunk2006]

Normally I am against the Skins playing national games cause they usually play bad, but Griffin might be that type of player that gets betters the more pressure that is on him.

If only there were a catchy phrase....

[SkinsFanMania]

It does. And the Packers/Lions has plenty more than we do.

I personally hate when our start times get changed. I like the games at 1pm.

Ditto, but with RG3 we will start to have more night games and more 4:00 games with regional coverage.

[E33Green]

League will not make announcement until early next week. I think there's a chance for sure.

How exactly do the flex rules work? Can CBS just switch Skins/Ravens kickoff to 4pm or later or do they have to bump a different team from that timeslot?

They can, if it's a double header week for CBS. Week 14 against the Ravens is not a double header week for CBS, so either we play at 1PM with the most distribution at the 1PM hour, or we get flexed to Sunday night on NBC. CBS can move games to 4:05 if it's a single header week like week 14, but there's practically NO chance we're going to get the 4:05 time slot, because games played at that time slot go to not more than 50% of the nation, and this game is too good (if we beat the Giants) to not go to less than 50% of the public see the game.

Lets hope it is the Redskins and Ravens right now according to the506.com forum they have it conformed that Marv Albert and Rich Gannon is announcing the Ravens at Skins game.

I would rather listen to Sonny and Sam on the radio

According to the506.com here is CBS current game solt rankings for Week 14 :

1) San Diego @ Pittsburgh Jim Nantz/Phil Simms
2) Miami @ San Francisco Greg Gumbel/Dan Dierdorf
3) Tennessee @ Indianapolis Ian Eagle/Dan Fouts
4) N.Y. Jets @ Jacksonville Kevin Harlan/Solomon Wilcots
5) Kansas City @ Cleveland Bill Macatee/Steve Tasker
6) Baltimore @ Washington Marv Albert/Rich Gannon

They better not flex that Redskins Ravens game!

[Yeen80]

Honestly, the only way we'll get flexed is if we beat the Giants.

I dont see anything changing yet.

The Browns game? forget it. The Eagles game? forget it. The Cowboys game? eh doubtful at this point.

[mav81]

If we are 5-6, it likely means RG3 has gone off... And that means he will have gone off on Thanksgiving on National TV...

You sure called that! I am still on a high after the game...

Decision on the week we play the Ravens must be made no later than this Tuesday; our game with the Giants has no bearing on it. You are certainly correct that neither the Eagles or Browns games are moving to SNF, although small chance one if those moves to the late slot (not to be featured, but to clear room). The Cowboys game? Who knows....all depends on importance at the time.

For anyone rooting for the Ravens game to get flexed, things could not have worked out more perfectly...the Lions dropping to 4-7 has them looking very unappealing...the Pack is still a ratings draw, but the RG3 plus two east coast teams factor has our game looking attractive I'm sure. And the Saints loss today makes their game with the Giants less likely as a flex in.

We will know by Tuesday, and I'd say the chances of it happening still aren't great, but the perfect storm I lined out earlier in this thread occured to perfection.

Man, that would be great.

I have nothing but bad memories when it comes to playing BAL on primetime...
