I guess we find out on Tuesday, but it has to be one of the main contenders....
WEEK 14
Potential games: New Orleans vs. Dallas (Fox), Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville (CBS), Denver vs. San Diego(CBS), Baltimore vs Kansas City(CBS)
CBS has to be pissed about this deal because the AFC games are far superior to the NFC games so you know that NBC is going to be robbing them big-time.

I guess we'll find out on Tuesday. I think the Chiefs have a chance to get this game because the NFL would want to get Baltimore on national tv.

No way denver gets flexed again. The last Denver/SD got flexed, Denvers game next sunday was flexed, and another flexing would give them 7 national games. Everyone hates them too, so we don't need to see more Shanarat
Its either us or the Indy game. Hopefully we can snag this one.

Screw that.
I hate waiting around all day Sunday to watch the Chiefs on Sunday night. Let NBC slobber Manning's knob some more. I want to stay under the radar.

I WONT hold my breath, thats whats killing me this year, its like the schedule makers just wrote us off for 06.
It will take an Earth shattering cataclysm to see this on national tv.
Boys or manning, take your pick.

I hope it is us, I love night games. I'd be very surprised if they pass up the Dallas, or Indy game though. Maybe the atmosphere last night will sway them though.
Denver's maxed out their flex schedule appearances, I'm pretty sure, I think you can only appear twice. So it won't be Denver/San Diego.
CBS is going to protect our game, or the Indy/Jax game, I'm not sure which. Which one they protect will probably be the big 1 pm game. The one they leave open will be the SNF game, I expect.

If we keep winning and the SD game seems a AFCW
title game the a Sunday night game is likely considering the possible game implicatation that sunday.
(I'm not sure how the Chargers lose 2 games) to make it the title game.
Chiefs schedule...........
Brownies (away)
Ravens
--SandyEggo (away)
in the next three to make this 'the AFC showdown'
SandyEggo Schedule.................
Oakland
Beefalo (away)
Dungver

What do you mean by "protect"? Are the networks allowed to block one particular game from being flexed?
The cruddy thing about that 2nd Charger game... is that's a FOX doubleheader weekend, or that would almost certainly be the national 4 PM game.
The game I'm most confident in is the Jacksonville game... if we both get down to the end going for the playoffs like we are now, that will definitely be on national TV. It'll be either SNF or a nationwide 4 pm game on CBS, I'm sure. They don't have to announce that schedule move until 6 days before though. I have to say I like the flex schedule for that reason though... it guarantees if the Chiefs are in the hunt for the last playoff spot or two, we'll be on TV for everybody to see.
What do you mean by "protect"? Are the networks allowed to block one particular game from being flexed?
Yes, one of the rules is: that both CBS and FOX get to protect a game 5 times in the 7 weeks of flex. You can only protect one game in a week, they haven't really announced when or where they've used these though. I'm just assuming with all the good games coming up in a couple weeks, CBS will protect one of them.
Then again they could think there's so many good games, they'll let NBC pick what they want, and still have a couple great matchups left over.
Here are some of the rules.

Huh, I wasn't aware of that. I always wondered how the NFL convinced CBS and FOX to let NBC cherry-pick games. If the Eggo game has division title implications I would think CBS would protect that one for sure considering it's the toughest division in the NFL. All I can say is we better get picked for one of them, we deserve at least one prime-time game that's not on NFLN.

" 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. "
I love this one. "Plan accordingly"! Well, if you live near the stadium it is not a big deal. But people having to drive a long way will be screwed. I think the flex scheduling sucks myself.

They have to choose them pretty early. I think they chose it before McNabb got hurt.

Bmore at KC
KC at SD
Jax at KC
I hope we get the Bmore game. That would be awesome!! (assuming we beat Cleveland)

I'm eagerly anticipating the wailing that will be done on this board if the JAX/KC New Year's Eve game gets flexed.

Exactly......it was chosen before McNabb went down. They choose like 12 days in advance.

It's looking likely that NBC will be choosing New Orleans vs Dallas as their game because Bob Costas just basically said it during halftime.
Bob Costas just said he expects it to be Dallas and New Orleans during the Halftime Show. As much as I like KC vs. Bal, I think the Saints and Cowboys have more appeal nation-wide.
Dammit, I was three minutes late on this announcement. You beat me to the punch KChiefs1

Reggie Bush, Tony Romo, TO and Dallas Cowboys = SNF game Dec. 10. A shitty game will be chosen bc the talking heads love these figures too much.

11-26-2006, 09:43 PM
By the way I think KC at SD will be the SNF game.

Why would they go with the crappy NFC teams over the AFC matchup? Oh yeah...it's Dallas and TO.

It's that touchy-feely feel-good BS.....you know, the Saints renewing hope and dreams in the Big Easy a year after Katrina.....yadda, yadda, yadda...bullshit.
FWIW, I do think the KC-SD game will be moved though.

They already had their Monday night game for all that touchy-feely feel-good BS.

Well that's great...for the Chargers. Arrowhead is monster, why do we not get a lot of these primetime games? For awhile now, we've been getting some primetime games, but only on the road. Are they in denial that Arrowhead is awesome? And it's not that if we are good team or not, because there are a lot of bad teams on MNF and SNF every year, consistently, that shouldn't be on there.

Dallas has always been a media darling so I would bet on Dallas - New Orleans

I share your frustration. I just don't think it's really intentional; more a function of we are KC....not Dallas, Oakland, or East Coast media darlings.
I wonder if FOX will protect the Cowboys game... that's definitely the best game on their network that week. But there's two weeks that you can't protect a game, maybe Costas knows this won't be one of them.

CBS and Fox will be able to protect five games during the seven weeks of flexible scheduling, but not more than one game per week.

I think CBS and Fox might want to be keeping their rights to protect games for the final 2 weeks of the season.
If Balt ve Chiefs is available NBC will take it

They can only protect games 5 out of the 7 flex-weeks, so yes, there will be two weeks where they have no protection (insert witty joke here).

I'm surprised CBS & Fox agreed to that...I would have thought they'd want to protect their best game each week(7 games during the 7 weeks) instead of only 5 games.
As much as everyone has been sucking on Romo's dick today(Jessica Simpson too?), I just have a feeling that NO vs Dallas is going to be the game that NBC flexes.

NFL.com's Flex scheduling 101
NFL Flexible Scheduling 101
Begins Sunday, November 12, 2006 (Week 10) In effect Weeks 10-15 and Week 17. Not in effect Week 16 due to holiday weekend. Only Sunday afternoon games in Weeks 10-15 and 17 are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window. 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 on 12 days notice the game being moved to 8:15 p.m. ET and may also announce games moving to 4:15 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 teams as "TBD." 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. CBS and FOX each get to protect a total of 5 games in the 7 weeks of flexible scheduling, but not more than one game in any week. Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.
