Thread: Sunday nighter vs Chicago Bears

Who knows when NBC has to decide whether if there going to flex this game or not?
Or if they decided already what there going to do?

Im going to this game (my first game in Minnesota) so i really hope its a night game, i cant really see NBC flexing this game because its a divisional battle for a playoff spot, but there are other really good games that week too like: NYG @ WAS, CAR @ GB,
DEN @ NYJ, and PIT @ NE


Sorry if this is not the right place to post this

They haven't said it yet

But my guess if one happens it would go in this order

Pit vs NE
NY Vs Was
Chi Vs Min

Idk if they will or not I don't know how they decide that.. But that would be cool to have a night game again

I am sure they will keep it. Especially if we are both 7-4.

I would expect them to announce it right after this weeks game if they are going to change it.

The NFL announced NBC is keeping the Vikings Bears as the Sunday nighter. Thats crazy considering both are 5-5, hopefully the vikes are 6-5 when on that day

Peterson is the most exciting player in the NFL. Plus both teams should still have a chance to win the division. Plus these rivalry games are usually pretty close.
They could have went with Miami-new england, or Giants-Arizona. But those teams are probably already schedule for other prime time games later in the season.

It was announced in the Star-Tribune this AM that they WON'T be moving this game.

Not that crazy since this basically decides the NFC North division...

It helps but does not decide it. Still have 4 more games after that in a tight race.

There should be a flesh out, where everybody comes to the game as Naked Ned.
Of course people will have to wear thongs to keep things legal.
The ladies could where those nipple tassles.
If it doesn't help us win the game, at least all the Bears fans would be really uncomfortable.
