Twitter: Cowboys will play on Sunday, time still TBD

[jazzcat22]

Why would they make both games 4PM games and not 1PM games?

For ratings, but then as I posted my last line, they are on the east coast so more like that 1:00 EST.

I think it's an easy decision to put the Packers/Lions on SNF over the Ravens/Bengals. Possibly Rodgers last game in Lambeau field in a win or go home game. Plus I think the Lions and Packers are pretty evenly matched, both teams struggled early and came on late in the season

The Lions need Seattle to lose. Probably not going to happen against the Rams. The Ravens Bengals is for a home playoff game if Buffalo beats Cincinnati tonight.

We play Tampa on the road the first week and the Eagles get a first round bye. Most likely outcome in my opinion.

Thanks

The Detroit coach is going to Green Bay to win no matter what…

This. Dan isn’t going to lay down. Sweeping GB would be awesome for his team.

I predict the Cowboys will play before the Eagles. If you play the Cowboys before the Eagles, that ensures the Cowboys play starters. Im pretty sure, everyone sees Dallas winning that game, that then ensures Eagles have to ay their starters and ensures you get maximum ratings for each game.

If you play the Eagles 1st and they win, Dallas game is then meaningless and Dallas sits starters and ratings would be way down. The NFL clearly has all these game times as TBD for this very reason. What would be the point of playing them at the same time?

People are watching the Cowboys even if they start Grier and throw out the Alcoron on LT. That’s just what we do, get ratings.

So do you actually think Dallas playing that last game and being already locked in as the 5 seed will get the same ratings as having the East title still up for grabs?

...I see the logic there. Its ******* up for NFL to function that way. Just saying...

I don’t believe league is out to get the franchise
The eagles should play the same time as the Cowboys.
If they allow the Eagles to play after , the Cowboys
Somethings not right. This gives the Eagles time to decide whether they’re going to play their starting quarterback or not.
If we lose, they won’t play him. If we win, they probably would. Opinions opinions.

Games should be at same time then

 

[Nav22]

On the flip side, it'd be sweet if we play WSH after the Giants-Eagles game!

I fully expect both games to be at the same time.

I’m not sure the NFL would allow that, but that’s my point you’re right

The NFL should take a page out of MLB's playbook, and that is have every game start at the same time on the last regular game of the season. This way no team has an advantage over another team when it comes to starting or resting players.

It is better for the league if the Cowboys win.

..im sure, NFL is well aware of Dallas/PHilly situation. Will they do right thing and play both games at same time? Or screw Dallas?

 

[Reid1boys]

They shoule be at the exact same time. Putting in the schedule as I have described is a CLEAR benefit for one of the 2 teams, and it isnt Dallas getting that benefit.

That's not what he said. Try again.

Well, if NFL does what it has done many times to us, then we are screwed.

In all seriousness, has the NFL said WHEN they will finally announce the schedule for this weekend? Seems like they are stressing everyone out with all this waiting!!
