The Gipper Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I wonder why both Pittsburgh and Cinci do not get Browns game late. They get Giants and Carolina instead. Because that game has more say in playoff races? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Stoolers & Bungles are the 4:30 game on CBS. Browns & Seachickens are the 4:30 game on Fox. Yeah, they figure no one in Cinci or Pittsburgh is going to bother watching the Browns game at the same time. Another wierd thing- the Browns game is on FOX again, it should be CBS. Maybe because FOX only gets one game this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Dawg Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 CBS primarily covers AFC games, while Fox covers the NFC games. Since Seattle is an NFC team, I'm thinking that's why Fox has this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Seattle is an NFC team, I'm thinking that's why Fox has this one. In the past if it was a game pitting the AFC vs. NFC team....the network that would cover it would be the one that represented the road team....in this case that would have been CBS. But clearly those rules have gone out the window. Browns AFC road game: on Fox Browns Bengals game....always would have been CBS....was on Fox. So....I don't think that there must be any rules on it any more. Any game will be covered by whatever network is assigned to it apparently. And that assignation now seems random.

Tour2ma Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 True, but the visiting team's Conference determines the default network. It's why SF visiting us was on Fox last week. Flex scheduling just has ripple effects every Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Default....but apparently no longer controlling Flex scheduling just has ripple effects every Sunday. I think the league just wants to appease all its network partners by giving each some kind of decent game. Those get flexed apparently, like Browns/Bengals, which they may have seen as a possible decent game. Browns/49ers....bad game....stick with the default.

Canton Dawg Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 The games are split up based on network. ESPN airs Monday night games, NBC airs Sunday night games and Fox and CBS split the two afternoon games, which air at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. CBS airs AFC away games and Fox airs NFC away games. Thursday night games are aired on NFL Network, and portion of them are simulcast on CBS. For the Sunday afternoon games, Fox and CBS alternate getting doubleheaders. If Fox is playing two games, CBS is only allowed to play one, and vis-versa. They don't necessarily do every other week, but they do even out to an equal number of doubleheaders throughout the season. Fox generally tries to schedule their double headers as lead-ins to big events. For example, this Sunday Fox is playing a double header that leads into the broadcast of the Emmy's. There are a few special occasions throughout the year that have special rules. NBC has the rights to air that first Thursday game, which is the regular season opener. There are also special rules for Thanksgiving games as well. NBC has the Thanksgiving night game, while Fox and CBS alternate playing the Lions game and the Cowboys game each year. http://uppermichiganssource.com/news/local/what-are-the-rules-for-networks-airing-nfl-games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Heard Charles Davis today on radio and he basically summed up football as simple as possible today. The quote was from someone else but I think it pretty much describes how to be successful in the NFL... You have to rush theirs...and protect yours. Basically if you can do those two things, you'll have a winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at the schedule, based on CBS= AFC road games, CBS would get 8 games this weekend, FOX only 4. So maybe the NFL decided to throw FOX a (lousy) consolation game. Blame the NFL for crummy scheduling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
