2009-10 wildcard weekend schedule (1 Viewer)

[Chase Stuart]

The NFC features two week 17 rematches. The Cowboys just killed the Eagles at home, and that's where next week's game will be. The Cards rested their starters against the Packers, and GB will again play in ARI next week.

In the AFC, the Ravens will travel to Foxboro to play a Wes Welker-less Pats. The other matchup will be either the NYJ @ Cin or the Texans @ Cin.

Any guesses on the primetime game? The NFC East is always in primetime; are we sick of them or do we see them again? Most of the country saw Dal-Phi today, not sure which way that cuts. GB-Ari seems to have the least star power; not huge markets, not dominant teams. The Pats-Ravens has the usual draw of the Patriots and Ray Lewis. Bengals-Texans wouldn't make sense, but would they want the New York market in that game?

Recently, the Jets made the playoffs in '01 against the Raiders and were the Sat Night game. In '02 the Jets played the Colts and Peyton Manning, but the Sat Night game was Vick and Favre. In '04, the Jets played the Chargers and that game was the primetime game with Manning and Favre playing in the two Sunday slots. In '06, the Jets played the Pats, but that game was put on Sunday as Parcells and the Cowboys and Romo against Seattle was the primetime choice.

My guess is we see DAL-PHI Saturday Night, GB@ARI the late game on Sunday, Jets-Bengals the early game Saturday since the two teams don't need a week to prepare, and NE-Balt the Sunday early game.

I think that either the Jets or Bengals will get the later game based on when they played today, regardless of if it is Jets against Bengals or Texans against Bengals.

Agree that the Eagles Cowboys will probably be the Saturday night game.

Toss up for the other two games.

 

[LadyBeBop]

I don't want the Bengals to get the early Saturday game.

It has to do with playoff tickets and working overtime (at time-and-a-half) on Saturday afternoons. Any of the other three times will be fine, but please, not Saturday afternoon.

That said, I think the Bengals get a Sunday game if they win. Lose, and they play Saturday afternoon against the Jets.

I think CBS gets the late Sunday afternoon game since FOX is promoting their Sunday night premiere hot and heavy. They would not want a game to go over.

My predictions:

If Jets win:

Saturday Afternoon: Jets@Bengals

Saturday Night: GB@Arizona

Sunday Early: Eagles@Dallas

Sunday Late: Balt@NE

If Bengals win:

Saturday Afternoon: GB@Arizona

Saturday Night: Balt@NE

Sunday Early: Eagles@Dallas

Sunday Night: Texans@Bengals

Unfortunately, I don't think Eagles/Cowboys will be the Saturday prime time game. Because of its prime time scheduling, I think FOX is shoehorned into the early Sunday game, and you can't have a 10 AM local time start.

 

[Eviloutsider]

GB traveling to ARI twice in a short week would be crappy.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

My guesses

Sat 4:30 - GB @ ARI

Sat 8:30 - BAL @ NE

Sun 1:00 - NYJ/HOU @ CIN

Sun 4:30 - PHI @ DAL

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Will the schedule be released tonight??

[Chase Stuart]

Cowboys-Eagles confirmed for 1PM on Sunday.

 

[SierraKiloBravo]

Well I plan to start drinking at about 11 a.m. on Saturday and then go from there.

 

[Chase Stuart]

ESPN reporting Arizona-GB is the Sat Night game.

 

[cjdavis]

ESPN reporting Arizona-GB is the Sat Night game.

Any to corroborate this, as well as the PHI @ DAL time?

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

GB traveling to ARI twice in a short week would be crappy.

Contrary to what he said earlier in the week, I thought I heard McCarthy say in the lockerroom that they would stay in AZ.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

ESPN reporting Arizona-GB is the Sat Night game.

Strange call. Would have thought either the NFC East matchup or the Pats would be in prime time.

 

[cjdavis]

Cowboys-Eagles confirmed for 1PM on Sunday.

Cowboys Radio Network's post-game show just mentioned the PHI@DAL game is on Saturday, time still unknown.

I don't think so. That would mean the Cards are playing at 10am local time.

Can't be right. Both NFC games on Saturday? I don't recall that ever being the case on Wildcard Weekend.I guess no one knows anything, yet.

Both NFCs on Saturday? That's never been done before.That would leave Fox with no game Sunday.

Good, I want the Bengals on Saturday. My cousin is getting married then and is a big Bengals along with most of the family in attendance. Shoud be a good lesson to not be a jackass and think of others when planning a wedding.

Is that confirmed? I have never seen where the NFC/AFC had both their game son the same day. This would leave Fox with no Sunday game.

Even more reason why that doesn't make sense. Fox would have no wild card games at all.I still stand by my info that Pats-Ravens is Sunday at 1.

Can you expand, even via Private Message? I need to know when the Pats game is ASAP.

[djcolts]

No way both NFC games are on Saturday. CBS gets one Sunday game (AFC) - Fox gets the other (NFC).

 

[djcolts]

NBC just talking about it now...

 

[djcolts]

Philly Dallas the late game on Saturday. Jets Bengals the early game on Saturday.

who are your inside sources?!

Should I PM Chase Stuart? That Jets-Bengals comment he made is driving me up the wall. I have no clue what he meant by it.

 

[Floyd The Barber]

NYJ at Cincinnati, 4 p.m. Sat;Dal at Philly, 8 p.m.; Bal at NE, 1 p.m. Sunday; GB at Arizona, 4:30

I think I'm going to take a personal bye and rest my eyes on those two AFC games. Maybe keep them on as background noise.
