We're Prime Time again

[Praxit]

We got flexed into Sunday night. So Dallas fans, strap up, getcha popcorn and pray Looney brings his Tunes.

Lets see if Collinsworth brings us cowboy love.

I think it was always scheduled for SNF.

They don’t flex games this early in the season.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Wait what?
What game are you talking about, this has been on the schedule from day one.

 

[Praxit]

...we're the first game to be flexed this year.

This was probably the first week the league could change up the Sunday night game in the event both teams were terrible after 4 weeks of play

Always been scheduled for Sunday night.

Think that link means starting week 5 NBC can flex games.

No one wants to watch a 1-6 team face off versus a 2-5 team in week 8 for example.
Or two teams at 0-4 in week 5
Especially when the two teams don't have a big draw to begin with.

Winning record or not, Dallas always seems to get ratings.

This.

...2-2 is not terrible ..lol. that I can remember. But yeah, Dallas is magnet for ratings.

I think he meant more of if both teams were 0-4 and scoring 3 points a game. They’d switch it

 

[CouchCoach]

While it does seem odd they'd have the Cowboys on twice within 5 weeks, they didn't flex this one.

And a word of warning when contemplating your menu for Sunday night in Ranching's thread. Indigenous food is a jinx to your team and this game is particularly tricky regarding BBQ, Chili and Tex-Mex and forget the seafood.

Not sure they would if it's the Cowboys team. A bad Cowboys teams still beats a good team not named the Packers or Steelers.

Nothing magically changed. It was always a SNF game. Hope it turns out positive..

 

[TheCoolFan]

Dak may not be a good QB but he is 9-2 in primetime. This will be tough though, the Texans will consider this their Super Bowl

This! That is towards the end of the year and with playoffs implications.

 

[glimmerman]

We are going to win. Anyways.

Since that's Texas food which includes H-Town, does it jinx both?

This was a Sunday night game on the schedule when they released it in April...

As odd as that may seem, we are on prime time 4 out of 5 weeks in November. (including another Sunday night)

Gonna eat Ramen noodles and see if it will give the team luck. It apparently has an effect on DLaw.
