Playoff Saturday--- Is the NFL THIS Stupid?

#1

I'm kinda bored waiting for the Jag/tinhorn game to start, so decided to check the Direct TV Guide for next Saturday to see when the games next week will be.

 

It's showing that BOTH NFL playoff games on Saturday are gonna be on at the same time...

 

This CANNOT be for real, can it?  Is the NFL so stupid to have the games played at the same time????

  I'm highly confident that this is a mistake on the part of Direct TV.

It's probably just because the games aren't actually announced yet. The networks would never stand for it, they pay big bucks to air the games, and they'll want to be able to air them unopposed by a game on their rival network during that time frame.

This has to be a mistake.

 

There has been a 12:30 game and a 4 pm game as long as I can remember.

 

The next 2 weeks of playoff football are some of my favorite weeks of football that don't include Jags games.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

The multi billion dollar NFL is not that stupid. Clearly its an error.

Just an error.

I think they did that initially in order to see which one they were going to "flex" to the later time slot in order to pull in the ratings. Maybe.


I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

For the first time that I recall since the NFL went to its current playoff format in 1990,  the AFC playoff games are on the same date and the NFC playoff games are on a different date.
