Monday Night Playoff Game

[Chuck 54]

I hate that, but it’s better than the short week on Saturday.
I know everything is about money, but as the worst division winner in the NFC and having a losing record, I think TB probably should have gotten the short week and the higher ranked teams should have gotten Sunday and Monday.

 

[Bigdog]

Doesn't get any easier for Philly playing the winner on a short week while they get the bye week. The NFL doesn't care though, it's just a bunch of people who probably never played a down of football who come up with these decisions

Yeah that sucks that you have the 2nd game on a short week.

 

[JW82]

That truly sucks

 

[Aven8]

Ridiculous. And Joe Buck? Ewww

 

[Staubacher]

That's a pretty lackluster slate of games all weekend to be honest

 

[Dale]

Have we ever lost a playoff game on a Monday? Could be a good omen…

 

[Taggy12]

Is this new this year? This sucks. Gross for sure. Work the next day? Ugh…

Last season, rams won mnf and you know result

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Knowing the NFL if the Cowboys do win then they'll make Dallas play the Eagles who are coming off of a bye on Saturday.

Rams also lost week 18 to a division rival

The last thing these underachievers need is for the networks to gift them with a Monday Night Football game. Give them an afternoon slot again. Make them feel "disrespected" that the franchise does not deserve a MNF slot. Maybe then they will play like they actually belong in the postseason, unlike the nonsense seen this afternoon at Washington.

If NY beats minnesota they would go to philly, barring seattle winning. So Philly would be playing a team with the regular 7 days between games. If Dallas wins and minnesota wins then Dallas would go there on one day less rest. Should not be a big deal. Especially since the eagles have jaylon hurts and this board unanimously said he is a running back who sucks for the past year and a half.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Really? Why are we having to play Monday Night? That's awful

 

[snadler]

I’m down! Maybe the one extra day will get some of our key players rested just a tinny bit more! Lets go boyzzzzzz!!!!!!

Alsooooooooo… I know today sucked. We are looking bad. This is where we get to shine baby. Having faith this year is going to work…. I hope

Other than hope there’s nothing else, there’s zero football reason to think boys win, can’t run the ball, can’t stop the pass.

Can't they already guarantee Sunday for whoever play mnf. As they said but I'll not take chance

I think the Bills/Dolphins will be horrible if Tua doesn't play

 

[Dale]

It’s happening

 

[sacase]

Naw that's not cool at all.

 

[snadler]

The short rest can hurt Brady in round 2 for sure

 

[Fontaine]

Monday night playoff games shouldn’t exist.

And to have I deal with an ESPN broadcast on top of that, what a nightmare.

its pre determined. ESPN had the contract for the NFC's 5 vs 4 matchup Brad Sham said.
