NFL should flex Mia@Det

[zyxt9]

Just sayin'. Best game Sunday based on playoff potential for both teams. They won't cuz its Pack v Bears, but they should. Pack just lost on a Sunday night tho, so maybe its better to make them play at thst time again.

If I were a neutral fan, I would disagree. Packers/Bears is the game I'd want to see.

Why is that? The Bears are horrid, and didn't the Packers beat tthem badly the last time they played? Nah, Miami vs Detroit is much more intriguing by a longshot.

Miami and Detroit have good records but neither one are popular teams. Also, they are not in the same conference so the game has less meaning. Bears and Pack is a long time rivalry and will draw significantly more national interest...both for the rivalry and because Rodgers in the game. I think the 49ers vs. Saints game is also a more interesting game than the Lions vs. Miami due to the significant playoff implications.

Yeah the 49er saints game carries more playoff intrigue. San Fran is almost to a point of a must win. The saints have been playing better but need to keep winning to lead the division. If the 49ers lose the already hostile locker room will become more so and you will start hearing more rumors about Harbaugh being done.

Its OK to be an asshole when your winning but when your not people will turn on you quick.

If Detroit wins Sunday......I could definately see them flexing either the Arizona or NE game. The Arizona game would be for 1st place in the NFC.

As a Spartan fan......Jim Harbaugh to Michigan scares the crap out of me. He is the one guy I could see turning that program around right away.

Good coach. His personality just rubs some the wrong way.

Think I read somewhere that all flex games need a 12 day notice....mainly for the fans attending the game not to mention the marketing, commercials etc.

Yup, said it in a michigan thread.....3-4 years with a group of guys then in comes the new crop. College game is perfect for him.....theyre gone before they can get sick of you.

Winning cures all, 4-4 isnt good enough to make you overlook he is an ass

Makes sense. They should flex the Arizona game now then.

Good info on the flex scheduling. Doesn't look good for Detroit in the next few weeks.

Personally I like to watch the Lions early but with tickets to the Arizona game I don't want to watch it later..
