Thanks..

Doesn't mark which ones are Primetime though.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Couple weeks after the bye could be tough, @ Philly and @ Chicago but I like the schedule..

 

[lp4ever41]

Two Sunday nights, two Monday nights, and Thanksgiving. And there's always the chance of flex scheduling on Sundays late in the season.

Overall, plenty of prime time coverage. Nice.

no chance at Flex for Lions...you can only have 5 National games in a year.

Anyone notice 6 of the first 9 are on the road, wow. If we can make it though that part of the schedule in good shape we would then be home for5 of the last 7 which is a plus, but thats a rough start.

Also, after the Bears monday nighter theres a stretch of 6 games where we could realistically go 6-0. Toughest game by far would be the Packers at home, besides that what Houston on Thanksgiving?

Overall even with all the early road games I like that way its set up. Tennessee, Jacksonville, and Minnesota are all very winnable, and Philly, Chicago and even San Fran don't scare me. Should be a good year assuming we stay relatively healthy.

 

[imthetruth]

Just noticed that. The cowboys do too. That bye is gonna be very crucial as they always are

Has this always been a rule?

Your wrong. There is only one Monday night game and that's the one vs the Bears.... The Falcons game is on ESPN but it's on Saturday not Monday.

How would we know? We are Lions fans. LOL

True. There is no Monday night that week, and its on ESPN, so its the equivalent of a Monday night game.

Except it's not :nuts:

 

[lp4ever41]

Except it's not :nuts:

Which is why I said equivalent.

It WOULD be on Monday night, but I'm guessing they didn't want the game on Christmas eve. Not sure why though.

Whatever, its a primetime game on ESPN. Who the hell cares. I'd rather it be on Saturday anyways, don't have to work the next morning.

It's the Monday Night crew though.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It's the Monday Night crew though.

That's too bad. I hate the MN crew..

 

[tomdalton22]

Only one home night game. That stinks for the Lions.

 

[lp4ever41]

It's the Monday Night crew though.

Yep. Thats my point. Its Monday Night Football, on Saturday.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yep. Thats my point. Its Monday Night Football, on Saturday.

Or its Saturday Night Football with the trio of crap that work on MNF :clap:
