who cares about MNF? Who opens SNF?

1. Monday Night Football is not "Marquee" anymore

2. MNF, opens the season now with a double bill. One East coast game and one west coast game. There are only so many West coast teams.

Weird... if I recall, Denver and Oakland were the 2nd MNF game in W1 last year.

Frazod · 03-23-2009, 03:54 PM

Bears/Packers - both sucked last year. I like the Bears, but frankly they don't rate a prime time game. And obviously the ****ing Raiders don't even rate a televised game.

I thought the Sunday Night Game was supposed to be a showcase of talent, not just a jerkoff of major population centers. Silly me, what I was thinking believing those turds?

Well, there are only 4 teams who could fill a 9:15 central start time:

Bolts
Raiders
Seahawks
49ers

Technically, the Thursday Night game (Season Opener) will be the "Marquee" game that week. The Sunday Night game for that week will be a lesser game. Probably why they went with the Bears/Packers.

I think Peter King mentioned the Thursday Night opener will be the Steelers/Titans.

You'd think they would pick the team who lost to the Chargers by 1 point TWICE last year. I hope we have a primetime game this season; it really pissed me off that we didn't last season, but it seems that the NFL really knew that Herm was a bad coach...

Perhaps we can ride the Pioli Express to at least one nationally televised game, but frankly, we don't rate one any more than Oakland does.

The Raiders always get this game, I wonder why?

Maybe the NFL wants to get their primetime game out of the way early in the season so they don't have to worry about a potential crappy matchup in the later weeks.

It gives all of America a chance to collectively laugh at them.
