Why flex a potentially good Tampa-Denver game or a Seahawks and Bears game with huge playoff implications. Instead it’ll be two teams with losing records. But it’ll rate well at least, right NBC?

After last night, nobody wants to see the Bears on national tv.

Rupert Murdoch might brake his hip trying to make that trade.

Reminds me of back in 1998 when I was living in the D.C. area, and there was some really great NFC game I was looking forward to watching. Instead, I got the 0-5 Redskins vs. the 0-5 Eagles. I got NFL Sunday Ticket the next year, and never looked back.

This is all about RGIII; people want to see him. If Rex Grossman was still QBing this team, they’d have switched away from this game in a heartbeat.

I didn’t realize RGIII played for the eagles or the cowboys.

So it’s not just as simple as the NFL refusing to put a better game there….

FOX and CBS get to protect a certain number of games each week from being flexed off of their networks, and I’m sure that’s what happened here.

To have the subject of his imminent dismissal on the airwaves is discourteous to viewers and Jeffrey Lurie should find this to be a distraction and fire him after MNF vs. Carolina!!!

He is doing nothing And it makes no sense to have nothing to offer on the table when you have to face the team that’s at least doing something!!!!

Every single FOX game of the week, at least 3 SNF games a year between 2 underachieving NFC East teams. Its getting ridiculous. I understand that the markets are huge and the teams are popular, but for the past 10 years this has been the most overrated division in the NFL.

Steelers/Ravens was this past Sunday’s matchup, so the NFL wouldn’t flex that into the night game. Tampa/Denver wouldn’t pull in nearly as big an audience as Philly/Dallas, so the NFL wouldn’t replace that game either. It’s really as simple as a lack of options.

There are three games that week featuring 6-4 vs 7-3 teams, all vying for playoff spots, and yet we get a 5-5 Dallas vs 3-7 Eagles. I hope if the league realigns, they get Dallas out of the NFC East.

Gotta support my team, plus I want to see how Cam performs in his first ever Monday Night Game.

As for Week 13, I would have loved to see Bucs/Broncos in thaty slot over PHI/DAL. Other than that I don’t see any other match-up that was worth flexing out.
