SNF wanted to flex Giants out of game on 10/13

Vin_Cuccs : 9/30/2024 2:36 pm
Ravens vs. Commanders was the preferred game

CBS has decided to protect the game.

The current game is Giants vs. Bengals.

Any other games that could be flexed into that spot?
Remember when people complained about SNF games?

During the Coughlin/Eli era a lot of people here bitched about it. Man, I miss it. It was nice being relevant. Now the NFL wants no part of NYG on SNF.
Given DJ's primetime record

Take us off the national slate this season, please.
Damn

Washington-Baltimore on SNF would've been really cool.

Didn't Giants/Cowboys just set a Prime Video viewership record? Not certain the Giants are the sole reason that NBC wants to flex out, as they've typically produced Prime Time eyeballs regardless of quality. It may have more to do with the Bengals slow start.
I fully understand we stink  
Biteymax22 : 9/30/2024 2:44 pm : link
And The Bengals aren't exactly lighting it up this year either, but isn't this all about money and wasn't the Thursday Night Football Game against the Cowboys just one of the most streamed NFL games in history?

Bad football or not, The Giants are still in the largest media market in the US.

I would think the Cowboys had quite a bit to do with that.

Of course.
This would be the EARLIEST

flexed out game.. Damn, we keep setting records..
It's a strange SNF matchup to begin with...  
regulator : 9/30/2024 3:43 pm : link
AFC/NFC, two teams without any sort of rivalry or even any history, no storylines to speak of, except for the fact that neither team appears to be any good.

NYG-CIN is more like a MNF combo, to me, and when I saw it as a night game on the schedule I assumed it was.
I wish the Giants played the rest of their games  
arniefez : 9/30/2024 3:54 pm : link
this year at night. Maybe that level of embarrassment would change some things at 1925 Giants Way. Losing 65 out of 100 doesn't seem to move the needle.
Bucs/Saints?  
upstatenyg : 9/30/2024 3:54 pm : link
At least Bucs a first place team.

This seems likely to have 2 1 win teams playing each other.

I believe the announcement would have to come tomorrow.

Great another prime time game where the country can watch

Should flex all BD and DJ games for a lack of professional offense. BB can’t get here soon enough!
If they didn't have the NY, there is no way  
Matt M. : 9/30/2024 5:07 pm : link
they get 3 Prime Time games. It makes no sense other than the market they play in.

Because he lit it up without Brady right?
Haven't we been embarrassed enough

I look forward to the...

roughing the passer call on our QB that Sunday night. Oh, or maybe the refs can call a clipping on our defender when they prevent a touchdown!

I’m sick of seeing this nonsense. You know why Brady left? Because he knew that team no longer had the talent to win. So he bailed and looked for a loaded team that did have a chance to win. You can criticize Belichick the GM all you want, he allowed the talent to deteriorate. But Belichick the coach? GTFO with that bullshit. Had Belichick left and Brady stayed to QB that horrific roster he wouldn’t have won shit either. But he went ring chasing…
Nabers  
Breeze_94 : 9/30/2024 10:42 pm : link
At least makes the Giants interesting for the common fan. Star power plus a big market likely won’t be flexed. Especially in the player prop/gambling era.
I hate home night games  
cuty suzuki : 9/30/2024 10:55 pm : link
Thursday rush hour made the trip an hour rather than the 25 minutes on a Sunday morning. At least I no longer have to get up in the morning the next day being a working sucker.
Bucs/Saints  
jestersdead : 9/30/2024 11:30 pm : link
Could be a possibility to swap with. Fox has Detroit vs Dallas in the 4:25 slot, which gets their #1 broadcast.

Only reason tot keep Giants v Bengals is b/c of Nabers and Chase, two former LSU guys battling for the 1st time in the pros
I have tickets for that game  
Dr. D : 10/1/2024 10:28 am : link
wasn't my first choice of games to go to (and frankly at this point, I'm not super excited about it), but I'm going to be in NY that weekend.

can I assume it's not going to be flexed or could it still be?

Probably. Sounds like the Was / Ravens game was the only serious consideration for a switch, but technically the game could still be moved - today is the deadline.
