That's Monday night football?

Yes

 

[MJ5150]

Yes

Oh my, that's rough. As the season winds down the NFL needs to be showcasing games that matter.

Week 15: Commanders VS Giants
Week 16: Saints VS Jets
Week 17: This one is a big one...

Giants VS Raiders and Saints VS Titans.

I understand I am broken but these are the games I am paying attention to. We need "not Geno Smith." I also thought Shedeur was a solid move 12mo ago so hey shag me etc...

It’s likely they thought it would when they made up the schedule .

Based on what?

C'mon Mike, they calculated that Monday's game would lock Tomlin's 137th non-losing season. They almost nailed it.

 

[TomB]

Based on what?

-Mike

Oh, I dunno… naive expectations for both teams maybe? Of course, they get paid to set those schedules so you think they might know better. Here’s hoping for a good game at least.

It's alright bud. You might be taking this a little too seriously. I'm poking fun at the crummy Steelers who were good 15 years ago.

They don't do a very good job of scheduling night games as ones that would mean anything. Never have.
Sunday day games they can switch coverage if one, say noon game, is a biggie and the others on at the same time aren't.

Don't they have to schedule every team to a certain number of prime time games per contract?

That used to be true, but not anymore. For instance, Cleveland, New Orleans, and Tennessee are not anywhere on the prime time schedule this season, rightfully so.
Speaking of, Fox is advertising next Saturday's double header as the greatest Saturday games in the history of the NFL, WAS and PHI and CHI at GB. That game in GB will be good, but it's disappointing if they think that's true.

True.

I was recalling years ago when both the Buccaneers and Packers were terrible... and when they played each other, the networks referred to that game as "The Bay of Pigs"

Wasn't that Chris Berman on ESPN?
Remember when he did NFL Primetime with TJ, Tom Jackson? I used to stay awake and adjust my schedule to watch that program. Nowadays there isn't anything on ESPN I'll inconvenience myself to watch.
