I bet the only reason the Dallas/Jacksonville game was released was to quiet the rumors of a Philly Dallas opening weekend matchup.

I'm all for two Monday Night games, but 10:15 PM start time :D So, that game will end around 2:00AM on the East Coast. :D I'm already a waste at work on Tuesday's during football season, this will only make that worse.

so much for that Eagles-Cowboys Monday night opener. Nice opening weekend schedule, though. The Manning Bowl looks rather interesting, eh?

 

Nice to also know that the Cowboys and Giants will both be starting 0-1 :D

 

But what gives with a 10:15PM EST start for the Monday "nightcap"??? East-coast fantasy fans have to be bummed that it won't be until around 1:30AM when the final stats will be known :D

I hear you, but look at it this way. It's hard to stay up for more than a half on the east coast for a Monday nighter anyway. With the 7PM start time for that week 1 doubleheader, I'm looking at 1 and half games. Not too bad.

I think the Seahawks got shafted, being a team from the NW that doesn't get a ton of exposure. There are 4 primetime games opening weekend, and the SB participant doesn't get a sniff.

I can see your point, but....its gonna suck going to bed on Monday night not knowing (sometimes) if you have won or lost your fantasy match-up. In the past, I could suck it up and stay up til midnight....but to have to stay up til almost 2:00AM? :D <----No-doze, anyone??

Sadly I usually stay up until the end of the Monday Night games, and I am then a zombie all day Tuesday.

I could see a double header every week as the answer for everyone really. So long as you arrrange for the 7PM game to be 2 eastern/central teams, and the 10 PM game to be western/mountain teams.

 

I'll watch Minny-Skins all the way even though I'm not a fan of either since it starts at a reasonable hour.

 

No way I'll watch SD-Oakland all the way through starting at 10, but I wouldn't be watching the second half anyway if it started at 9 either.

Now if the NFL revives the throwback uni's for the T-Day games we would get to see the TB creamcycle spamshirts with the winking pirate helmets AND the great bucking bronco helmets!!!!
