Considering we just finished with the easy part of our schedule, I can see their point.  However, I thought the Pederson back to Philly storyline would be sufficient to keep the game time in tact for now.

If Nielsen can pull his head out of his butt and Doug can climb out of his funk, we stand a good chance of winning against any team.

Well, maybe not against the stupid Chiefs...

I prefer to think it is like AI currently. They get hallucinations occasionally.  Like going for it on 4th and 1 last week when a FG would have made it a 3 score game.

*puts on teal glasses* yes they were afraid of a jags blow-out of the Eagles by 35pts

Yeah why would they pick Colts @ Vikings instead of Lions @ Packers?

Aren't they both FOX games too because of the home team, so it can' be a network/conference thing?

Lions vs tinhorns the following week on SNF, maybe that's why? Didn't want Lions on SNF in back to back weeks? Just a guess of course.

Networks can protect games, my guess would be Fox wasn't willing to give it up.

The colts game is garbage, too, but the networks literally will put anyone in the spot besides us if we're not winning.

If we were 3-4 right now coming off of 3 straight wins we absolutely stay on SNF imo. The narrative was all there and ready to go... "Are the Jags getting hot at the right time? Coming off of 3 straight wins, can they go into a hostile crowd in Philly on Sunday Night to play spoiler and keep their streak going?"

But since we goofed up and lost the first game in London against the Bears, the league said nope.

Yep, bears loss hurt. Now let’s hope the jags got their stuff together for this next run of 5 games. These are all play off games. Go earn it or get ready for vacation.

Well actually I forgot we play the Packers still before Philly, my brain fart. But yes, these are all basically play off games for the most part.

No the Miami and Cleveland losses hurt. No business losing those. With those they are 4-3 despite the blowouts.

Wondering if this is more a statement about us or the Iggles. They're not great, bob. Hurts is everything Trevor's worst critics think he is. 

But yeah, to flex us for that game? clots are gonna get mollywhopped.

Make your statement, folks. tune out on Sunday nights. Watch 3 hours of gameday final on loop instead.

If it was national broadcast, likely. Their biggest strength is the run game, which we can hold our own against....usually.

If they have to rely on Hurts, I think we can keep it close. I kinda hope we get a HUGE upset just so NBC and the shield feast on a giant plate of regerts while Minny tries to run out the clock up 25 in the 3rd.

I believe the clots with AR are good TV.  But Vince Young and the Titans were also good TV.

Lemme guess, you'da bought a ticket to the Crash at Crush, too?

Agreed.  I'm totally fine with being flexed out, we deserve to not have prime time games.  But the clots and vikings?  Yuck.  What's worse is that you know Collinsworth is going to be all on Anthony Richardson's jock the entire game.  He's so insufferable with his praise for the flavor of the month players.  I don't think I'll be able to suffer through that broadcast.

If we played all our games at 9:30 AM when everyone else in the country is alseep or at their preferred places of worship, we may very well be a .500 team!!!

Don't forget they share an alma mater, so it will be like Flutie calling ND games, too. NOPE.

If there's anything that can get Doug Pederson to shift out of his emotional levelheadedness I would expect beating the [BLEEP] out of Roseman's golden boy coach would be the thing to do it.

Congrats, NBC. You get to watch a Colts team lead by a QB that’ll tap out in the middle of the 3rd Qtr and complain about being tired.

Still beats watching a team that can't pick up their first 1st down til 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

It sucks, but it's reality.
