Next week flex?

[ctrcat]

When will we know? Did the Patriot and Raven miracle, lucky endings ensure they stay in primetime or do we still have a shot?

[Happy Panther]

They have to give 12 days notice so we will know soon.

 

I'm guessing not.

[Cary Kollins]

I'd say the chances of that would be slim to none.

Won't happen. The first one didn't even live up to the hype. NFL didn't flex Part 2 of the Denver/KC saga, either.

But the competition is pathetic and the Patriots lost Gronk.

[UNCrules2187]

They will def keep Ravens/Pats.  Better "casual" fan base/eyeballs, a real rivalry between teams not in the same division, and both teams are in the thick of the playoff hunt.

What about moving to 4:25?

[ctrcat]

I was sick to my stomach when the Pats and Ravens (literally) pulled it out their @$$ on Sunday, thinking that may be the difference. Hope I'm wrong.

God, I hope not. Keep it at 1.

Had they both lost it would still would have been the game for SNF, make no mistake.

 

1. They've played A LOT of close, big games the past years and have a huge fan bases (compared to the Panthers for sure).

 

2. After watching Carolina get throttled that would seriously hurt our chances. Had the game gone down to the wire, then maybe.

 

3. Unless it's two NFC east teams playing each other, they don't usually give the double flex treatment ever. If you have the NFCE tag though, you can very well expect it.

 

4. Both Patriots and Baltimore still are close if not pretty much Playoff teams so they were going to happen.

[Peppers90 NC]

they are not going to show the same game twice in a three week span.

God, I hope not. Keep it at 1.

 

It's the second game ... 4:05 p.m.
