Ok, so NOW the NFL is playing games on Wednesday (day before Thanksgiving ) as well ?

Netflix was asked to bid on a Package of games, but refused ... Personally, I would think This would qualify as a "Package" of game, just not what the NFL hoped for.
I think the NFL was hoping Netflix was interested in the Outside of the Country games.

Side note ... I wonder when/IF the Sunday Ticket will ever Drop in price with all these games Outside of Sundays

 

[meStevo]

Not sure that's a good assumption, as with no more MNF double headers I'm not sure there are actually fewer games on Sundays by playing 1 game on a Wednesday.

Schedule out tonight, should be able to find out for sure then.

I am refering to the games NOT on Sunday ... they all count.
Thursday, Saturday, Sunday Night, Monday and now Wednesday. (fortunately it's only a few weeks for the Wed and Saturday games)

Don't forget the Black Friday game they have had. (Not sure if they still have it)

The Bears are playing against the Lions on Thanksgiving day so I doubt the Bears are playing the next day. Plus the Eagles are playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving so they also won't be playing the day after. There is a Black Friday game though with Pittsburgh playing against Denver at Pittsburgh.

I know, read it again. With no MNF double header games, that means games available to be reallocated to Sundays or available for something like the Thanksgiving Eve game without reducing Sunday game inventory. You seem insistent on assuming otherwise.

The value proposition of Sunday Ticket has never been tied to a specific number of games on Sundays, but rather access to all of your out of market games on a given weekend - or more acutely the number of non-nationally broadcast games not aired in your local market of your favorite team(s) it provides access to, for most subscribers.

Jason making the argument others have posited here. Personally I've only ever felt like the MNF double headers were too much. A whole another game after MNF felt like a bridge too far and it was hard to care unless it was one of my teams (and even then, ugh). Pretty much any other time the NFL being on made the event / holiday that is going on an even bigger one.

Leaning into Jason's point too though, my favorite 'non traditional' slot for an NFL game is actually on Sunday - those 6:30am international games, I've loved those when I had an earlier schedule.

I agree with Jason on this .... Too Many Non Sunday games.

 

[Yespage]

I think we really need to discuss whether the announcement of the schedule should be more drawn out. Maybe over three or four months. Broadcasts on Sunday on CBS/Fox, one show per week of schedule?

 

[meStevo]

Doesn't really work due to the leaks. Too many people involved once it's finalized, which is why we usually find out the international games early, and then everything else within the span of like a week once the overall schedule is finalized.

Jason Kelce: "Sunday is the NFL . . . we're getting away from that a little bit"

The NFL has been slicing games away from Sunday afternoon in an effort to create more standalone windows.

Too Many Non Sunday games.

Does it really matter as long as the games aren't on a conventional workday or interfere with college games?
