I was livid over the TV coverage here

[Reverend Conehead]

Here in western Idaho, they had scheduled the Bills versus the Patriots followed by the Cowboys versus the Seahawks on the same Fox channel. So if the Bills/Patriots game were to go to overtime, I would understand that they can't just cut off that game to go to the Cowboy game. I get that. So the Bills/Patriots game finishes just in time for the Cowboy game. Cool. I would get to see the game from the start. Not so fast. Instead of going on to the game that was scheduled, they jumped to the Benglas/Panthers game that had gone into OT. I was furious! I don't know why they had to jump to a game that was not scheduled here and interfered with the game that was scheduled. So I missed the the first of the game -- up to the point the Seahawks were up 10 to 7. I'm hoping the NFL Network shows it again so that I can actually see the whole game.

The Bills/Patriots game should not be on Fox (though my DirecTV guide showed the same).

Edit: I guess this is because of some flex scheduling the NFL is doing. I guess my local coverage did the same thing. I didn't watch the local channels until the Cowboys game since I was watching everything on the ticket.

It was posted here yesterday that it was a flex game.

Im with ya man. I was wondering who at FOX was hitting the crack pipe. You have the biggest game of the week coming on and you switch to an OT game between 2 teams that are as nationally relevant as 2 HS teams instead of showing Americans Team against the defending SB champs. Totally idiotic!

 

[Doomsday101]

That would hack me off. Here in Houston after the Bills/Pats game they did go to Car/Cinn game until the Cowboys game was about to start then switched to the Cowboys since it was the reg scheduled game.

They the announcers talked about how it was the first time Fox had done an AFC/AFC game. Btw, it was fun watching Orton throw a pick and fumble and then lose.

Yeah that sucks. Perform a Google search for "dallas cowboys seattle seahawks torrent," and you should be able to find the game for download.

Here in west Tennessee, I was stuck watching the Bengals/Panthers finish. Annoying.

 

[CowboyStar88]

This is why I love the ticket...

 

[Carolina Cowboy]

Sunday Ticket - Even when the NWs pull this crap, you can get at least the first half of the good game on the "Ticket" channel.

 

[AsthmaField]

Same here. We had Green Bay-Miami and it ended on time. Then they go to the Panthers-Cincy game and stick with it the whole way. I kept saying, "If it were the Green Bay game, I'd understand... but this is some game we haven't been watching and nobody here gives a crap about!"

I was so pissed.

So now, apparently if any noon Fox game goes into overtime... we aren't going to get to see the 3:25 Game of the week?

Ridiculous.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

In my area we get Every Bengals, Browns and Steelers game.

GRRRRR

It was so bad sitting through a WHOLE overtime period.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

If anyone here truly understands how the NFL TV scheduling and coverage works please step forward.................anyone?..............anyone?

 

[cej757]

In Vegas they showed Packers vs Dolphins then switched to Bengals vs Panthers. Luckily the Sunday Ticket provided what I paid for and I got to see the game from the start on channel 700?

 

[Jack Burton]

I am still annoyed about them showing two craptacular teams flopping around like dying fish for an extra fifteen freaking minutes, while the GAME OF THE WEEK was on. Whoever was responsible for this outrage should be sent to the cornfield of no return.

 

[DanteEXT]

I had to watch the first quarter and a half on my phone using Sunday Ticket Max. Worked fairly well. Burned a little bit over a GB of data for less than an hour.

 

[Derekmtl85]

I had to watch the first half on our ****** french sports channel.

Never saw commentators mix up so many names before.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I was having Kittens over this, as I'm sure anybody who was on chat, is well aware of..........

Lol...i took a nap and miss a whole quarter and half that day.

Same thing here in the L.A. area. I was livid.
