@nickbitt29 @kofapps @richarddeitsch @Chiefs @BuffaloBills I was addressing the OP talking about Thanksgiving. CBS doesn't want primetime that night. They'd rather have the 1pm game. Yes, they would have loved to get Bills-Chiefs for 4:25. Inevitably there was going to be a year they didn't. This is that year

@Quaker2001 @kofapps @richarddeitsch @Chiefs @BuffaloBills What? This is just not true and if cbs got bills chiefs it would be at 4:25 et like it has been for the past 5 years since it’s their best time slot

Really interesting discussion today on the NFL's annual post-schedule release call with the media. CBS really wanted the @Chiefs-@BuffaloBills game that is now airing on NBC in the primetime window. They have had that game for many years. They lobbied hard for it. But as the NFL keeps saying -- every game is a free-agent now. And that game is now a test for how many viewers will watch in that Thanksgiving late window.

@ACWhite1994 @awfulannouncing I'm not offering up an opinion. These are facts. You can watch as much football this season on free TV as you could 20 years ago. That's also a fact. We didn't have games on Christmas and Black Friday even a decade ago. That doesn't mean we're losing windows on Sunday afternoons

@Quaker2001 @awfulannouncing Nope. We're not buying it. Once the NFL leaves free TV, it will head to streaming services. Most fans will lose interest and they may watch college football instead.

The NFL is slowly killing the Sunday afternoon window awfulannouncing.com/nfl/cbs-fox-sl…

@kofapps @richarddeitsch @Chiefs @BuffaloBills CBS knows their best bet for ratings is 1pm versus 8pm. So even though the don't have the better game, they're in a better timeslot than NBC

@richarddeitsch @Chiefs @BuffaloBills I do wonder if CBS would’ve been willing to exchange Bears-Lions to NBC to air Chiefs-Bills on primetime. It would interesting if NBC would take that trade since the 1 PM slot did see an increase in ratings last year.

@davidroot32 @506sports It was a little messy in terms of the start times and overlaps, so the league and ESPN decided to do away with them

@506sports No MNF doubleheaders? Seems like a big change

@cjoshea75 @JimmyTraina Millions of people are watching. So "good" is a matter of perspective

@JimmyTraina Let's stop saying Thursday Night Football is good. It's terrible football.

This is BY FAR the best schedule Thursday Night Football and Amazon Prime have ever had. Lots of big games: Lions-Bills Bucs-Cowboys Seahawks-Broncos Patriots-Bears Broncos-Steelers Chiefs-Rams Niners-Chargers Pats-Eagles Ravens-Bengals

@petermwilkin @JimmyTraina What will the NFL ever do without you

@JimmyTraina And i wont watch ANY of them. Thirsday night games are selfish leadership who proves they dont care about their employees. I will not support it.

@JimmyTraina They're in the largest media market in the country and not even that was enough to get them into a single primetime game. But at least for ticket holders, that's the advantage of being terrible that all the home games will be at 1pm

How do you know a team is an embarrassment: The Jets do not have one primetime or 4:25 pm game this season.

@dougastevens @burackbobby_ I doubt only having 10 games on a Sunday afternoon instead of 11 is a turn-off for that many people. Taking games out of Sunday Ticket is going to be more noticeable, especially for "Fan X in City Y" who just wants to see his teams games and they're all over the place

@Quaker2001 @burackbobby_ Red zone is worth it because it’s only like ten dollars per month. The ticket is a complete waste of money.

The NFL has essentially eliminated the need to buy RedZone or Sunday Ticket by adding so many new national windows. By Sunday afternoon, there are very intriguing games and teams left. The NFL has taken the magic away from Sundays. foxnews.com/outkick-analys…

@letterheadtaken @burackbobby_ I'll never understand why you think Sunday is ruined

@burackbobby_ I'll never understand why they ruined Sunday.

@ProFootballTalk They've leaned into this one. They want to make the schedule release a multi-day event by allowing all the networks to make their own announcements. And at this point, all the leaks by team reporters just creates more social engagement for what's not really an "announcement"

The NFL hates the tipping of draft picks. It doesn't seem to be bothered by the constant leaks of specific games from the regular-season schedule. The situation has created multiple days of buzz ahead of the full announcement tonight. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@MJRodnick Games are no longer tied to a specific network. So that game could be on CBS or on Fox

The question on everyone's mind (well, at least mine) is which network will this be on? I read somewhere that the road NFC games are on Fox at that time slot. It's on the internet, so it's gotta be true. Since that's the case, our first one with...

@Nick_Metcalfe These aren't "leaks".. they're announcements. And yes, they're completely separate from beat reporters who have some inside access sharing what they know before it gets officially announced. And yes, that's 48 hours with 5 games before we even get to Friday night.

More NFL games for 2026 are being 'leaked' - has there ever been a more ludicrous use of the word leaked by the way? Thanksgiving looks tremendous. Hell of a line-up. #NFL

@NflsbestDDS @OzzyNFL Yes and no. I don't think the NFL is trying to have all these leaked out, but they're not trying to stop it because they know it creates engagement

@OzzyNFL Is this all staged by the nfl to build up hype?

Less than 8 hours to go. 35% of the way there. Buckle up, folks: progrid.org

@MarkLIVE @ShelbyCassesse This is RedZone, not To Catch a Predator. I think you mean Scott Hanson, not Chris

@ShelbyCassesse Feel bad for Chris Hansen when he only has 4 first games, and 3 afternoon games in a few years. With all these standalone games.

One day, we will tell our children about the NFL games played at 1 p.m. on Sundays.

@HBTides @NBCOlympics @NBCSports @lindseyvonn @NBAonNBC @OnHerTurf Or.. she's a competitive athlete and she wanted to compete and didn't want to be told that she couldn't. And doesn't care what social media things. No skier missed a chance at competing at the Olympics because of Vonn. There's no "right" thing here because you say so

@Quaker2001 @NBCOlympics @NBCSports @lindseyvonn @NBAonNBC @OnHerTurf It’s about the money, it always is. You know it and everybody knows it. Be humble, be a team player and do the right thing. Be like Jordan Stolz.

Lindsey Vonn went from the slopes to courtside. 🏀

@HBTides @NBCOlympics @NBCSports @lindseyvonn @NBAonNBC @OnHerTurf What happened with Biles was during the team competition and after qualifying. It didn't happen before competition. Had Vonn not been able to go in the downhill, someone else already on the team would have skied. Moot point though because she was able to start the downhill

@Quaker2001 @NBCOlympics @NBCSports @lindseyvonn @NBAonNBC @OnHerTurf Ok thanks. I assumed Olympic teams had alternates if someone was hurt in training. The policy should not be that a forfeit would occur if a competitor is seriously injured at practice. Makes sense now that when Biles quit in 2022 no young lady was able to replace her.
