Dolphins in Primetime?

by smirish on Oct 9, 2008 2:32 PM EDT

I wonder if the Dolphins will end up with a Primtime game this year with the NFL Flex schduling. I could see the Nov 23 game against the Patriots, the Dec 7th Game against the Bills or the last game of the season Dec. 28th against the Jets all as candidates. Although I don't know if they would move the Bills game since its a 4 o'clock game in Toronto.

I think it is likely to happen. The resurgance of the Fins and the Wildcat have been one of the major stories so far this year. They may feel people will tune in to see the Wildcat. Of course it will help if the Fins keep winning. I bet if the division is up for grabs, one of these games will be in primetime.

I hope so, I can't remember the last Fins primetime game. Was is the opening of the season game against Pittsburgh a couple of years ago with Daunte at the helm?

We had a Monday night game last year

against Pittsburgh… the one where Ricky Williams came back and got hurt again… one of the worst football games I’ve ever seen… final score 3-0

yeah, thats right

I’ll never forget that Punt that just stuck in the mud.

Was that suppossed to be a night game? or was it moved because of weather? It was in Pittsburgh though.

i think there was a delay

but yeah, largest waste of my time ever. I can’t believe we didnt go for that 32 yarder or whatever it was and went for it on 4th. Cam Chumpreon

OMG

We are playing in Toronto in late Dec……….Talk about a cold ass snowy day that could turn out to be…..We will probably have to fly in there a couple of days early just to make sure we make it………Hopefully we will have the division and first round bye wrapped up before that game so we can rest our regulars lol.

Thanks for bringing this up....

I guess it was so drummed in my head that we just weren’t good enough to get a primetime game that I forgot about the flex schedule. Now that we are showing something….maybe, just maybe…..we’ll get one of those night games.

Flex

I could see the Jets game as the season finale if one or both teams are still fighting for a playoff spot. Primetime loves Favre, loves Rivalrys, and loves multiple storylines. If they can match up Brett Favre, a plucky up-and-coming team like the Dolphins, and one of the greatest rivalrys in sports on the last day of the season, I think they’ll jump all over it.
