Henry Muto Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well the team that had nothing to play for kicked ass on the team that could win their division with a win, so none of that mattered. (No idea if any players sat out, I turned it off at 21-0.) As far as the originally scheculed NE-BAL game, that was a blowout as well, and would not have been any better for SNF or made the CHI-PHI game better if played Sunday afternoon. As far as the flex decision itself, my understanding from the NFL press releases is that it was done to better balance Fox (NFC) and CBS (AFC) games taken for SNF (or maybe primetime in general). They switched two games which were about the same to allow them to take a game for week 17 SNF from either CBS or Fox (if they stuck with NE-BAL on SNF this week they could not take a CBS game week 17). Again that would not have mattered, since PHI-DAL for the NFC East was going to be taken no matter what other options were available. Thankfully Chip Kelly does not believe in resting his starters or at least not this week so it did not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
