Week 18 game flexed!

[panfanman]

Our game vs the BUCS has been moved to 4:25.  I hate this.  Will it affect the BUCS knowing they can rest some starters?

Too bad they didn’t flex this game until 2023

Good, makes it harder to watch and easier to skip.

Green Bay already has the number one seed locked up.

We will lose to their backups

We'd lose to their practice squad and male cheerleaders.

We don't have to try and cover AB this time.

Aren’t we pretty much guaranteed the 6th pick in the draft now regardless of outcome?  If so, we can win this and I don’t care since I think we’re keeping Rhule win or lose anyway.

With the Bucs very nearly losing to the Jets yesterday, I don't think they're going to be content to rest on their laurels going into the playoffs with that performance even if their seeding position is locked up going into game time.

If the SOS does not change enough to move a six-win team ahead of us...

The primary thing that flexing yesterday's game accomplished was to piss off Lady Cowboy Fan since it meant she didn't get to see the Dallas game.

They'd still prefer to play in Tampa with the second seed before they get to Green Bay (assuming the Packers take care of business). Home games still matter.

The male cheerleaders are harder than Brown, Sam, Shaq and pretty much everyone else on the team.

That's a good point. They could fall as far as the 4th seed with a loss. They may need/want to win.
