I'm in California so Sunday games start at 10am, or 1pm. Sunday night starts at about 5:20 pm same for monday night. I honestly love all of them, I get together with the cowboys fan club for 1pm games as well as Sunday night football. Sunday morning games mean its pajamas and menu do for breakfast! Either way let's F Go Cowboys!

Generally, I appreciate the early Sunday games at 11am. I can wake up, chill around the house, and kick off my afternoon with some Cowboys. With that said, I love the SNF slot. Just something about the production of Sunday Night Football I love. The anticipation of waiting for your team all day. Order a pizza, BBQ, or whatever and kick back and enjoy the game. SNF kickoff is at 6:20pm for me, so that's not too late.

The one I hate the most is MNF. Hate waiting that extra day to watch them and I'm not overly impressed with ESPN's production of MNF, though, it's at least better with Joe and Buck this season.

Interesting question. I started watching NFL games with my dad when I was 9 or 10, all games kicked at 1:00 (EST) or 4:00 that's it. Then Cowboys and Vikings expansion and more games, more TV. I'm an older guy, and I recall the first "doubleheaders". CBS, NBC. 1:00, 4:00, 4:25 kickoffs do it for me still, am not a fan of Sunday night football, NBC.

I guess the biggest complaint I have is the Sunday Pm games might shut out kids who cant stay up until 11 pm + for Sunday night, school nights etc.

SNF is a bit of a mare for us in the UK as it’s a 1.30am kickoff… but they’re always good match ups.
Early Sunday is probably the best as it’s 6pm and the late Sunday afternoon is ok unless I’m working days as I get up at 4.30am and the game can go on well past midnight.
But thanksgiving is my favourite as I usually book the Friday off so I don’t have to worry about the game finishing past 01.00am

Sunday at noon is my favorite time because you don’t have to wait. Least favorite is any Thursday night game except Thanksgiving. Absolutely hate Thursday games.

I love anticipation the nerves leading up to the game. To me the early game is a large number of teams playing the early games, the few 3:30 matchups allows greater audience to watch it

My favorite game time is whenever the Cowboys play as long as I get to watch. For those of us outside Texas, the early games are less likely to be televised nationally so you have to find a stream (they are horrible this year) or shell out big cash for Sunday Ticket. Other than that, I don't care what time the games are.

Someone mentioned in the Colts vs Cowboys thread they wish our game could move up and I agree, I hate Sunday night games. I didn't even like having to wait for the new Sopranos or Game of Thrones on HBO Sunday Night, and no different with my team.

Games are all over the place now.
- Early Sunday
- Mid Sunday
- Late Sunday
- MNF
- Thanksgiving, Xmas
- Thursday Night
- We've had Friday Night games
- Europe, VERY early Sunday

My personal preference are the early Sunday games and I enjoyed living on the West Coast and basically waking up to the pre-game shows and the games. I like early Sunday games when I live on the East Coast because I can do my outside chores, and then retire to the football.
I prefer early Sunday.
I hate mid Sunday!
I have to cram supper down at halftime.

I am retired now , but hated the mnf when working, especially when the game started at 9pm, games would not end till midnight.
Rough getting up early Tuesday morning!

I usually watch every timeslot but I have a TV out in the shop so I can get something done while watching the 1:00 game, unless it's the Cowboys in that slot, then I'm 100% focused on that in the comfort of the house. I prefer the Cowboys in the 4:00 slot. SNF is next best slot for the Cowboys.

Have to go elsewhere to watch MNF so I prefer the Cowboys avoid that one.

Noon Central (1:00 Eastern) for me. The 3:25 is my second favorite.

Sometimes though, since I no longer live in Dallas, the only way to ensure that I’d get the Dallas game was if it was a nationally televised game, ie Sunday night or Monday night. So, historically, I’ve been happy to see a Sunday night game on the schedule.

These days, Dallas is televised so often that it almost always doesn’t matter.

In any event, I don’t care that much as long as I get to watch the game.

There are unspecified streaming options that work quite well

Yes, All Cowboys games except Thanksgiving should be on Sundays at Noon...

The Detroit Lions play all of their Sunday games at noon, because no one outside of Michigan watches them.

That would never work with the Cowboys.

Noon kickoff on Sunday. We win and the rest of the day is gravy

But when we lose. ....there is a lot of time left in the day to have to deal with the realization that our season is unraveling. I like night games for that reason

I am fluid. I will watch the NFL regardless what I have going.
But with a late Cowboys game I can practice me modern dance, sweep the communal eating area and wash clothing before I paint landscapes and, later, take more names to add to me "punish" list.
Life is grand, just grand, chums.
