FNF on Sept 6th
Live on Peacock, not everyone has that channel or is signed up for it, pretty entertaining game, I'm anxious to see how many cave and sign up opening weekend.

I signed up so I could watch The Traitors, so this is a bonus.
Gold Medal channel since I've been stuck in North Carolina last Sat night...not much else to watch but it's Fantastic!
I had no idea Scott Hanson and several other NFL voices are on there, they go quad box at times, pretty entertaining I have to admit

We didn't have anything like that during Los Angeles '84 or Atlanta '96

Since I already have Prime and Netflix for the other "streaming only" games this year I'll get a month of Peacock for opening Friday Night.
And I like saying "I'm gonna get Peacock"....Peacock....Peacock....say it a few times to yourself.
 
I think the NFL and Peacock will see a flurry of sign ups for the opening weekend.
The Playoff game last year was only important to Miami and KC fans for the most part, this will be different as a regular season opener and so many FF managers watching
The FF implications from a Playoff wildcard game last year vs a Friday night Primetime match up Week 1, :moneybag:
 
Game on Peacock Network.

Game in Brazil.

Sounds an awful lot like a two-time loser, to me.

I hope the Teams and any U.S. citizen fans who travel to the game, get to and from the United States safely, but that otherwise, this is a marketing disaster so bad, that it compels the NFL to never try this again.

In theory I'm right there with you except I absolutely LOVE the idea of Friday Night Football

-Thursday is just too early and one more day of rest or ram up before the game would make for a better product IMHO, I wish they would make TNF into FNF
This was originally billed as "Saturday Night Football" when TNF premiered back in Nov '06 I think and it evolved and it's been like 10-12 years maybe since its been a weekly steady thing
Just for reference when I was a kid in the early 80s and trying to fight my parents to stay up so i could watch MNF, it was like 10 years old or '71 when MNF premiered, something close
But those 10 years felt like a long time in history where these TNF games have just never really had the same impact as MNF had and in fact many fans detest these Thursday Night games.

I still would like to see Saturday stay mostly college football although I hear the NFL is trying to get more involved on Saturdays, especially once November rolls around.
I'd like to see the NFL move Thursdays to Friday Nights, nobody wants to watch whatever college games they run on ESPN, a juicy NFL game on Friday Nights would draw ratings
Nobody goes out any more, everyone is home, just run an NFL game and its insta-ratings

How would TNF have done vs say Night Court in '85 or perhaps Seinfeld in '94?
 
Fridays have been held for High School football.
Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
The Friday ban in deference for High School football doesn't start until the middle of September. Which makes no sense here in Wisconsin since the regular season in high school football is halfway over by then.
 
Not feeling good about this one. Too much weirdness. Hoping the birds win but not sure it happens.

The NFL is either stupid or lying (and they're not stupid). If they really were deferring to HS football, they'd have this Friday game in early December.

For who exactly?
I don't buy tickets to sit and watch HS Football
“Just watch,” Cuban said in a March 2014 conversation with reporters. “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way. I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always, always turns on you.

They can play HS Football on Thursday nights which they do already and they can play early Saturday Mornings and be done by 1:00, you just have to prioritize
:lol:
 
So just to be clear you have to pay for peacock to get this game? I'm really getting sick of all these ala carte streaming services

You could boycott the NFL.
Well that's a bit extreme......just tired of having to sign up for more services all the time
It’s going to get worse before it gets better
I get it.....my wife and I audit our services every so often, cuz they make it inconvenient to CXL, and we forget what we have. First world problem
 
Hope all these players/staff stay safe, NFL is going to be in deep doo doo if anything bad happens while either team is in Brazil. A lot of stories coming out that players aren't supposed to leave their hotels, don't walk the streets with your cell phone or jewelry, don't bring your families. What is the point of going to a country like this where you are worried about being safe 24/7 -Oh yea Money. Rumors are 2025 International game is either in Afghanistan or Somalia.

Kabul in the fall. Breathtaking

Is something new going on there? I have friends who have been to Brazil numerous times and have loved every second of it.

Gun violence and crime in Brazil is highest in Latin America, plus stories like these are floating around:

Which packer WR has the best chance to go over 50 receiving yards tonight? I feel confident that at least two will. Guessing which two is the head scratching part.
 
I'm trying to decide between Love and Mayfield in a 2 QB league where you get big points for longer TD's. I'm leaning Mayfield at home vs Washington. I feel like the international games typically suck, and especially for FF.

But I see Philly D is not full strength...
 
I admittedly have not seen much of the Eagles in preseason.

My biggest question is, was that secondary fixed? I know Fangio is there, but you still have to have the players to make plays.

I am curious to see if GB spreads them out and starts targeting intermediate and longer routes - how Philly deals with it.

Should be a beauty game.

I'm less concerned about the secondary and more concerned about run defense.
