Chiefs Will the Week 12 Sunday Night Game remain as Steelers @ Chiefs? - Page 3

There is possibility unless its a national game that another team is shown here despite the fact KC is the closest AFC market. Keep the game. It should be a good one.

Regardless what happens to this game, it did my heart good to see an ESPN ticker late Tuesday night saying the Indy/NE game had been moved out of prime time.

I think we have our answer now.

I am not sure that there is a better game to move into the slot. Remember, CBS and FOX each get to "protect" a game from getting flexed. The schedule that week is slim on premium match-ups. The fact that the Steelers have a nationwide following will probably keep the game where it is at, and the Chiefs will be embarrassed on national TV. Just great.

Well, as bad as the team is, it will be hard to top the Colts getting embarrassed by the Saints.

This is a couple weeks old, but...

Quote:

Week 12 (November 17):

Tentative game: Pittsburgh @ Kansas City
Prospects: 6-2 versus 4-3. Remember when the Chiefs were 0-3 and widely considered the worst team in the league? Suddenly, this game looks very good to keep its spot.
Protected games: Patriots-Eagles (CBS) and Bears-Raiders (FOX).
Other possible games: Thanksgiving weekend, paucity of good games (Packers-Lions is an especially bad loss). Bills-Jets and Bucs-Titans are the only good options, with Bengals-Browns a dark horse; of those, Bills-Jets is the best game and still isn’t as good as the tentative. After the protections, NBC isn’t left with very attractive matchups in terms of drawing power.

I can't really imagine Bills-Jets being moved in there, but who knows. Nothing else is really reasonable.

After these last two weeks, I beleive that the NFL should flex all of our remaining games to Tuesday's at 6AM.

They probably kept it because the better games got protected by CBS and FOX. The Steelers still hold "marquee" value. its also on a holiday weekend when viewership will be slightly lower than normal.

**007** · 11-22-2011, 05:18 PM

Wonder how NBC feels about their decision now.

**Rain Man** · 11-22-2011, 06:42 PM

Woohoo! Primetime Palko! Every game he has ever started has been in front of a national audience. That's no coincidence.

The time has finally come (actually it came last week prior to MNF) that I cringe and am disappointed that the Chiefs are going to be on prime time in front of a national audience.

Hope Mythbusters has a new episode Sunday night.

JD10367 · 11-23-2011, 07:37 AM

I think the Chiefs are going to beat the Steelers.

Stop laughing. I'm serious. I think the Chiefs D is better than people think, and I think Palko will be more comfortable at home with one tough road game under his belt.

Chiefs 23, Steelers 20.
