The sole exception to this is the final week of the season, where playoff spots are up for grabs, so they’ll balance it out to have all the teams that can affect each other on at the same time, so as few teams as possible are aware they’ve been eliminated or made the playoffs prior to their own kickoff. Even that is a fairly recent change, being implemented several years after the league started making the final Sunday all divisional games and making every game open to flexing.

Maybe the best change the league has done in a while. The chiefs game last year was amazing at the end as literally everyone, including the commentators were all watching Fitzmagic drive against the patriots.

I've never had the DirecTV NFL thing and unless I go to a bar I rarely get to watch a Bucs game live. Maybe 2 a year, if that, because of a national game.

I've probably been able to watch more Bucs game this year than I have the past 2-3 combined.

I'm the complete opposite. I've had Sunday Ticket for about 16 years now. I can only think of 1 Bucs game I've missed in that time.

Because their local team is playing at noon on Fox, so CBS can't show a competing game at the same time, therefore the late Jets/Dolphins game is the only CBS option.

He is the best lineman they have at the moment. Their center,Trey Hopkins, is also decent. Their guards are absolutely atrocious, and Bobby Hart is one of the worst pass blocking lineman I have ever seen.

Hear me out, I'm mostly known as an expert on the sport of basketball, but I know how to save all of football this season.

You find a small town with all the functions of modern life, you replace the workers with college football players, and put the NFL players in the homes of the elderly, who are expelled along with the rest of the town. the college players do their jobs instead of going to class, and play on saturdays at one of 50 football fields, temporarily laid over crop land. Nothing comes in but trucks and trains and that's all handled in a sanitary fashion. No more coronavirus. It's that easy

And we can charge the college players for the experience. Can it an unpaid internship!
