Even Saints fans were calling for a merciful quick end to the game.

No kidding! The Sunday and Monday night games are the only ones I truly get to watch the whole game and so far this year most have been a bomb.

I think the Monday night games moving forward are all real stinkers.

So if Beck would have gotten injured yesterday, who would be our QB for the rest of the game?

Re: Around the NFL Week 7

Atlanta Falcons accuse Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh, Cliff Avril of taunting hurt Matt Ryan - ESPN

Ive been giving Suh the benifit of the doubt as adjusting to the NFL style of play. Cant defend talking sh*t to an injuried player on the field. lost a lil respect for him.

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.
