It's not "and then bam flex", it's "two weeks before Gameday its flexed so you have plenty of time to prepare for it."

So just becuase you think 2 weeks is enough time we all suffer,BS.Say I'm a Skins fan flying to Dallas to the game....everything I have says it's a Monday night game ,BAM now in two weeks I have to see if I can change things to a Sunday and pay extra fees for doing it ,cry if you want but it screws the fans of those teams big time.

Monday Night is definitely a different story, but only an extremely lazy person would complain that two weeks isn't enough time to change plans. And who said it would be 2 weeks if they did start flexing MNF games? Maybe they'd change it to 3 weeks to give fans more time to prepare.

And personally I wouldn't do it the whole season. I'd make weeks 1-5 non-flexable, and base those first five weeks on teams who had major success last season. Then 6-17 could be flexed, and since it would be 3 weeks prior the first 3 flex games would be a good opportunity for teams that start the season hot. After that it should be easier as the season goes along because you get a better idea of the best matchups week to week.

But I definitely agree the way it currently works sucks. Nobody wanted to watch a Peyton-less Colts team get blown out by the Saints last night, and nobody will want to watch a shitty Jags team potentially get blown out by the Ravens tonight.

I see your point, but just FYI. Only games played on Sunday afternoon are eligible to be "flexed" to Sunday night. Monday Night Football is not affected by flex scheduling.

Why would it? MNF already has that prime time nationally televised audience. No need to flex that.

I agree with you but it was Matty and some others that want to flex Sunday night and MNF...I'm against it.
