How does game flex work?

[RustyBourneHorse]

How does this work? Cuz I'd really like for the game to get flexed Sunday. I have something that came up that's unavoidable. Fun, but unavoidable.

Chiefs-Bears are the Sunday night game. Flex has to have 12 days notice for ticket holders.

Too late to have our game with the Iggles flexed.

I'll make a call and see what I can do.

Ahhh, dang it!!

I don't understand why they didn't flex our game when the Chiefs were always going to win that battle against the Broncos with Lock playing for the Broncos. The Bears we're just about out of it. Our game was likely to have more of a playoff impact. So, I'd have thought they'd switch those two out.

it is my understanding that FOX (and CBS) has the right to block certain games from being flexed to SNF. This game being for the division and playoffs on the line probably caused a veto.

Fair enough

I’d rather it not be flexed even though it can’t. It will be colder at night and the night game is not conducive to good post-game sleep.

The Cowboys can't have all the primetime games.

Good. That's when they usually suck.

Just most of them
America's team !!!!

I think they want to avoid flexing an a Eagles Cowboys game in Philly. Giving those south philly trash more time to get drunk isn’t good for anyone.

@superonyx I am manually liking your post a second time. Preach it!!!

Flex schedule rules. Only 6 days required for week 17...12 days every other week.

So that means another Joe/Troy game. As much as I don't like Joe, I like Troy a lot. He still has love for the Cowboys and you can tell that he wants them to win the games. He was so angry at @NE and occasionally at JG for not playing this team to its potential.

Except the last week, they wait until week 16 is over. To get the game with the most playoff implications. Unless as mention CBS or FOX blocks it. But maybe the last week they can't.
Was it last year, or a few years ago or so, the moved our game to SNF as it had playoff implications.

It was a few years in a row where our final game was flexed as a win and get in game.
Week 17 says 6 days notice instead of the normal 12.
