This is the 2nd time we've had a 1:00 game time this year. I'ts just nice not to have to wait on sunday afternoon or night. I'm not a fan of all the off days of football. Give me Sunday @ 1:00!!!

Yes, that seems to be the preference of most players and fans.

Even when I was stationed on the west coast, it was preferred. That means that the game starts at 10:00 AM.

Unfortunately, you are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. This means that they will make them either the late game or nationally televised for the higher ratings.

I think this will be the only 1:00, or 12:00 PM game where I am, left on the schedule for this season.

I like the later games, but since my staff Christmas party is at 5:30 this Sunday, I'm REAL glad this one is a 1PM start...

I know, finally. The main reason I want a 1pm game is that being out of the Dallas area and having Directtv, they show the local pregame show with Babe Laufenberg on Directtv only when the Boys play a 1pm game. Seemed like I saw it 6 or 7 times last year and Ive been missing it.

its about time we get a normal game time

p.s. Its actually not a guarantee that its on but Im crossing my fingers

Not me. The morning NFL schedule is the more crowded one. You have a better chance to see the game if it is in the afternoon.

I am with you BIG TIME.

I spend ALL DAY waiting for the Boys to play. I have a hard enough time making it until Sunday. Having to wait until 3:00 or that evening is just pouring salt in the wound.

Yeah, lets hope they DO remember how to get fired up and play early. The only other 1:00pm game was the Rams, and we remember how that started. I don't think this team will be sleeping on this one.

I like the 415 starts...I can relax and watch the other games first (and laugh) and then see the Boys

I really dislike Sunday and Monday nite games, although that game last Thursday :starspin was OK as it freed up Sunday.

1:00 works out great this w/e. Anyone with DTV can watch our 'Boys kick some Lion booty then check out the Steelers/Pats game.

As much as I hate to say it, Go Steelers!

Obviously, I like the later starts because I'm in church when the first round of noon games start. But no problem. That's why they created Tivo.

I prefer late game, we have better chance of getting the Cowboys game and gives me time to attend church and have nice late lunch with family.

I actually like the later games better but it doesn't matter much as long as it is on Sunday. The Monday and Thursday games are a problem for me because I always miss the first quarter of the game and have to catch up on TiVo. I'd rather watch the game as it actually happens.

Well, I guess I was wrong in my assessment on my earlier post.

It seems now that a greater number of fans like the later afternoon games.

Just think, in Hawaii, the NFL pregame starts at 6:00 AM.

In Bahrain, the "early" games start at 8:00 PM Sunday.

In fact, remember when Rocket Ismail caught that game winning bomb in overtime against the Commanders (okay, stupid question but just go with it)?

I saw it live just before midnight going into the following Monday.
