Why do why do we always play last?

[DK30]

Sunday at 4. Who comes up with these playoff schedules. Saturday Night would've been perfect for ratings vs Green Bay...

 

[Risen Star]

Because they're the biggest draw.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Because we are America's team. It comes with the territory.

 

[gmoney112]

America's team, bro.

 

[SoBlue128]

For the same reason soup and salad comes before the prime rib

 

[SDCowboy]

We're by far the biggest draw, so it makes sense.

 

[robjay04]

It's obvious. Just like tonight's game was by far the biggest draw out of some lame wildcard matchups.

 

[JoeKing]

We play in prime time

 

[Proximo]

Being on the East coast I wish we were Saturday night, but oh well. Figured we'd draw Sunday late afternoon as that's the hot spot for ratings during playoffs.

 

[JJHLH1]

We play when the biggest audience can watch. The Cowboys are the only sure thing when it comes to tv ratings. It's always been that way.

 

[Don Corleone]

Because nobody cares about the Seahawks or Falcons.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

Our last playoff game was at 1pm Sunday, so it's not every time.

 

[JoeKing]

NFC plays first on Conference Championship weekend

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Really the number 1 team should play saturday, but oh well.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

Really the number 1 team should play saturday, but oh well.

The number 1 team is playing Saturday. In the other conference.
Doesn't matter WHEN we play but WHY we'd play Sunday night & it's because EVERYONE will be watching. That's all that matters.

Ratings, stout lad!
And, bloke, welcome to our planet.

It matters when you get an extra days rest for a championship game.

All about ratings

 

[Jake]

For the same reason the Giants and Packers played in that time slot today - best match up of the weekend/biggest TV draw.

 

[guag]

Because they're the biggest draw.

End of thread.

Love this analogy.
