  1. If Tim Tebow as a TE is a “gimmick,” what do you call 5 primetime games each for the Steelers and Cowboys?

  2. The jags should have got more. We all want to see the qb. The saints should have got less. They will be lucky to win 8 games with the W eater.

  3. Im sorry so theres only 1 bye week? Including the playoffs?

    Your telling me while Brady earns the league another $1 Billion this year playing 17 games and does not get the #1 seed he only sees 1 bye week? Really Roger? Thats your reward to Brady?

  4. Wonder if Pats fans are enjoying their new (old) place in the NFL hierarchy? Props to falling right back in line…
    Giants, Patriots, Chargers, Titans, Browns, Cardinals and the Washington Football Team

  5. Bills get four prime time games in 2020, then go to the AFC Championship game.

    Then they get four prime time games again the next season, in a year when ten got five.

    Whatever.

  6. we all get to watch the squealers lose 5 times in primetime there time is done

  7. I get that Chicago is a big market, but when you schedule a BAD team that many primetime games it’s like rewarding a bad employee.

    Vikings have four primetime games?
    ********
    That’s like the kiss of death for a QB like Kirk Cousins.
    Four times. 😂
    Well, that and playing teams that have a better than .500 record.. 🤣

    It’s called ratings…

  10. We’ll see how many of those Packer games actually wind up in prime time. With all the contingency plans put in place, it’s clear people only want to see Rodgers, not the actual team.

    They made the playoffs twice in the past three years, are always above .500 and have a top 10 defense. They’re not the Lions or the Raiders dude, they actually compete for the post season.

  12. Just the way Belichick likes it………under the radar…..guess the haters only got last year to gloat….The Dynsasty is rising again……

    LOL – the Bears have had a winning record 1 time in the last 8 years!

  14. It’s amusing to me that so many are upset about what teams are on primetime. If your favorite team isn’t on primetime it’s simple. They’re not good enough and/or they aren’t popular enough. The NFL is in the business of making money. Simple as that.

  15. Tell me this statement isn’t saying something:

    “The Jets, Lions, Jaguars, Bengals, Texans, Panthers, Broncos and Falcons got one night game each”.

    LMFAO.

  16. This is why some teams would fit seamlessly in a Super League, while others would not.

  17. Loved how many prime time games my Eagles got over the years, but this is to be expected. We aren’t any good.
