I'll give my rating on a 4 point scale. 1 being horrible - 4 being great

this is based on possibility of a close game, strength of team(s), rivalry, and "watchability"

Let me know what you think .........

I know that some of you New Orleans fans may initially get a little bent out of shape with the low scores but it's because I think they are going to destroy the two teams they play on MNF - and the SNF game against Seattle doesn't really have any tension to it ... nationally that is.

Looks pretty good to me. I'm just happy they put the Cincy @ Pittsburgh game on SNF so I can catch it down here. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I can't take it anymore. Flip the first coin already!!!!!!!!!

You never know, but the MNF schedule looks like a stinker to me. Super Bowl champ only plays once? Arizona at San Fran? (at worst they'll only be 0-1

)

I agree with your Sunday game ratings, but not the New Orleans vs Tennessee MNF game. That one could be a 38-35 classic.

eagle eyes eric · 04-12-2007, 10:00 AM

that's why I was stating in the other thread that SNF is the new MNF. Overall Sunday Night has better games, match-ups, teams and fan interest.

Eric - couldn't agree more, the MNF games has lost their luster. I know at my house we prefer the SNF games. Great way to end the weekend.

flipflop · 04-12-2007, 10:18 AM

Who are you trying to bullshit eee?

You simply think the Sunday night games are better because the Iggles are on 3 times versus only once on MNF.

pogophiles · 04-12-2007, 10:54 AM

I much prefer the Monday Night schedule -- it only has 1 NFC East matchup, while the Sunday Night lineup has 4...

seriously though - when you have the Colts, Chargers, Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins & Giants on multiple times on a Sunday and never more than once on Monday ......... you have to wonder.

Those are some of the highest marketable teams in the league.

Monday Night multiple appearances - Tennessee, New Orleans, San Fran, Atlanta, Denver, Baltimore and New England.

Except for New England - those teams aren't big market.

pogophiles · 04-12-2007, 11:04 AM

True, but TN vs. NO gives you a Vince Young/Reggie Bush matchup, while TN vs. Denver gives you Vince Young/Jay Cutler. At least they'll have something to talk about beyond the Pacman suspension...

You need a lesson in demographics... Atlanta has 4.6 million people in the urban area and a big following in other areas of GA, AL, SC. Balt/Wash and SF Bay Area over 6 and 4 million respectively. All around the same size or bigger than Boston area.

The Saints are hot nationally.

Denver is a Rocky Mountain area team. Big following in the mountain states.

Wanna try again?
