AW: NFL Saison 2015

Die Raiders haben einfach das Football spielen eingestellt. Gott sei dank ist das ganze gut gegangen.

 

AW: NFL Saison 2015

So nach Woche 7 sind immer noch 5 Teams ungeschlagen und das ist Rekord!
Kommendes Wochenende wird aber sicher eines davon ne Niederlage kassieren, wenn die Broncos die Packers nach Mile High einladen - ich tippe fast auf nen Sieg der Packers.

Die Panthers haben mir gegen die Eagles letzte Nacht gut gefallen, die könnten heuer vielleicht sowas wie ne "Überraschung" werden - weiß nicht, auf jeden Fall gefällt mir ihre Art und Weise, wie sie spielen.

Aufs Monday Night Game bin ich auch schon gespannt. Beide haben letzte Woche verloren, verspricht auf jeden Fall einiges.

BTW: Die Lions haben Offensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi gefeuert - ich hoffe jetzt einfach mal, dass das hilft und noch der ein oder andere Sieg, bitte kommenden Sonntag in London, rausspringt

 

AW: NFL Saison 2015

Ist eigentlich schon raus welche SNF-Spiele NBC flext bzw. wann wurde das immer bekannt gegeben? Chiefs @ Chargers dürfte am 22. November definitiv rausfliegen, Seahawks @ Ravens, Bengals @ 49ers und Steekers @ Ravens dürften aus mehr als fraglich sein.

 

AW: NFL Saison 2015

Ich glaube mal gelesen zu haben, dass so nen Flex spätestens 12 Tage vor dem Spieltag bekannt gegeben werden muss, außer für Week #17, da ists ja nicht anders möglich. Ich bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob NBC nicht nur eine bestimmte Anzahl an Spielen tauschen kann.

 

AW: NFL Saison 2015

Ich meine es waren 5 und zwei zwischen Week 5 und 10. Bin aber auch nicht sicher. Zumal FOX und CBS dann ja auch noch Spiele schützen können usw. Mir auch egal, hauptsache man tauscht gute Spiele rein. SNF ist mein Montags-Football-Futter.

Flexible Scheduling

Allows teams to play their way onto the Sunday night schedule
In 2006 the NFL implemented a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. In 2014 that was extended so that games between Weeks 5 and 17 could be affected by flex scheduling. However, only two games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Week 5 and 10.
Flexible scheduling ensured quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and gave surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. The NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks lists the game tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.
Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game will be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights.
Just as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL has the flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format.
For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior. Sunday afternoon games, as in the past, can still be moved between 1:00 and 4:05 or 4:25 p.m. ET.
In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice.


NFL Flexible Scheduling 101

• Begins Sunday of Week 5
• In effect during Weeks 5-17
• Up to 2 games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Weeks 5-10
• Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window.
• The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET.
• The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET.
• No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games.
• The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game. The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:25 p.m. ET.
• Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications.
• The NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list the game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.
• Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in flex weeks are subject to change 12 days in advance (6 days in Week 17) and should plan accordingly.
• NFL schedules all games.
• Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.

Mike Florio (von ProFootballTalk) macht sich Gedanken zu den Flex-Möglichkeiten bezüglich dieses Spiels und zeigt dabei auch mögliche Hindernisse:

Week 11 presents no clear flex possibility

Despite the relationship between PFT and NBC, PFT never has inside information regarding what will happen with any of the decisions to flex or not to flex games into the Sunday Night Football slot. Besides, the decisions technically are made not by NBC but by the NFL.
So any speculation appearing in this space at any time regarding potential flex options is just that: Speculation. So when it comes to the first clear flexing opportunity for 2015, I know absolutely nothing.
Some of you would say I know absolutely nothing on plenty of other topics too.
With that background, let’s look at the alternatives in Week 11 to the 2-5 Chiefs visiting the 2-5 Chargers.
With the Giants and Steelers on a bye that week, a pair of teams that would otherwise be attractive for a nationally-televised game already are out of play.
The first game that jumps off the page as a replacement for the game between the teams tied for last place in the AFC West comes from the top two teams in the NFC North: Packers at Vikings. But the Vikings’ lease to play in the University of Minnesota’s stadium prohibits prime-time games while classes are in session. So that game can be scratched from the list. (It’s also possible FOX exercised its privilege to protect that game, regardless of the language of the lease.)
Bengals at Cardinals has unexpected sizzle; however, the Cardinals play the Seahawks on NBC during the preceding Sunday night. (One solution would be to flex out of Cardinals-Seahawks in Week 10 and into Bengals-Cardinals for Week 11. However, beyond Patriots-Giants, which CBS undoubtedly has protected, Vikings-Raiders is the only game that currently stands out as a viable alternative to Cardinals-Seahawks. Besides, Cardinals at Seahawks could be a very good game, despite Seattle’s struggles.)
The only other game that would be clearly better than Chiefs-Chargers for Week 11 features the Cowboys visiting the Dolphins, for the anticipated return of Tony Romo against a rejuvenated Miami team. The rules, at last check, limit prime-time appearances to six for any one team. The Cowboys currently are due to play in five prime-time games; flexing Cowboys-Dolphins to Sunday night in Week 11 would prevent another shift later in the year.
The NFL may decide not to hold that extra Cowboys’ prime-time game until the final weeks of the season. Already, Dallas hosts the Jets on Saturday night in Week 15. The Week 14 trip to Lambeau Field surely has been protected by FOX. In Week 13, the Cowboys play Washington on Monday Night Football, and Week 12 has Dallas hosting the Panthers on the afternoon of Thanksgiving.
So that leaves Week 16 (at Buffalo) and Week 17 (vs. Washington). Which means that if the Cowboys are going to have a sixth prime-time game, the best option could be Week 11, at Miami.
If the Dolphins can upset the Patriots on Thursday night, it becomes an even better choice for the Sunday night game in Week 11.
Again, I’ve got zero inside information at all regarding the decisions the NFL may make, and I’ve had no communications with anyone at NBC about the topic of whether there will even be a flex out of the Chiefs-Chargers game. This is an old-school PFT spitball, which really isn’t all that old school given plenty of the stories I write.
Given the rarity in recent years of a necessity to flex out of the games selected in April, it makes the looming decision even more intriguing.

AW: NFL Saison 2015

bin zwar Patriots Sympathisant aber für mich ist die o.a. Begegnung das Topspiel in Week 8
Big Ben dürfte ja wohl zurück sein und dann geht es gleich gegen die ungeschlagenen Bengals
