**BREAKING NEWS: Dolphins/Jets will NOT be Sunday night game next week**

PrintAl Michaels just said on NBC during the Giants/Panthers game that the flexed game will be the Chargers and Broncos.
I do want to add, though, that there's a good chance the Dolphins/Jets game get moved to 4 pm eastern. Originally, the SD/Den game was scheduled for 4 pm. So that time slot is now open. And another factor to consider is that both the Giants and Jets are scheduled for 1 pm. The NFL never lets both play at the same time. So either the Vikings/Giants game in Minnesota or the Jets/Dolphins game will get moved to 4 pm.
I bet it'll be the Fins/Jets.
**UPDATE**: I exchanged e-mails with the VP of Public Relations, Greg Aiello, and he told me that NBC doesn't get to choose the game for week 17. It's the NFL's decision. And they chose the SD/Denver game because of how it's a real playoff game - winner goes on and loser goes home - which the Fins/Jets game no longer is after the Jets lost to Seattle.

that is total garbage!
why am I NOT surprised!
as soon as the Bills/Broncos game ended, I turned to my friend and said " you watch, the damn Denver game will NOW get the prime time Sunday night slot…just wait and see"…and now it is true…
frickin figures…I thought we should have been a lock!

an 8-8 team COULD WIN THE DIVISION!!! 8-8!!
Win a division..with a crap record like that!! a team that has NO BUSINESS being in contention…at all!! SANDIEGO!! and you watch..they’ll end up making it in!! what a joke!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:46 PM EST reply actions
and you all know..if (WHEN) we win next week...and then San Diego wins..
We’LL BE PLAYING AT HOME to no other then SANDIEGO!!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:46 PM EST reply actions
we WOULD be #3 and...oh hhhh yeah
OOPS!! DIV WINNER
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:49 PM EST up reply actions
yeah.. they win the division.. we play the #6... WILDCARD
EVEN THOUGH SAN DIEGO would be the SIXTH BEST TEAM TO MAKE IT IN…with their crap record..they would be 4th seed due to division.. i got ahead of myself there…
We’ll likely play Balt.. or could be New England

Indy would play San Diego...
and WHIP THEIR BUTTS

we should have the night game .. you poll almost ANYONE and they would agree
faRVe vs Pennington..the ultimate showdown…for all the marbles.. back in New York, etc, etc.. and they chose to showcase DENVER/SAN DIEGO!!?!?!?!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:48 PM EST reply actions
I cannot believe this
What utter bs. First if you look at the normal tv schedule, the game is cbs only late game….how can they lose that? That doesnt even make sense….maybe in some crazy way theyll put the fins/jets on at 4 which would be a miracle because im forced to watch houston and dallas every f***** week.
Here’s to hope fellas
JETS
NEED TO BEAT US…AND EITHER THE RAVENS OR PATS NEED TO LOSE….LOOKS LIKE THEY PROBALLY STAY HOME LOL

has there been any "REASONING" as to why the DENVER/SAN DIEGO game was chosen?
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:52 PM EST reply actions
did any announcer state "why" this was happening?
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:52 PM EST up reply actions
they think it's more important...or a bigger market? or has more meaning? or what?
i just don’t get it
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:53 PM EST up reply actions
either way...ONCE AGAIN, it figures..even within their disgusting season, the BILLS find a way to screw us!
they win this meaningless game in Denver…and that causes this showdown! go freakin figure!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:53 PM EST up reply actions
no
but it’s probably because the SD/Den game is a playoff game.
On the other hand, if the Fins/Jets got moved to 8, and the PAts won earlier in the day, then the Jets would be eliminated from the playoffs even before they take the field.
yeah...thats true..due to Jets losing today.. N.E. would knock them out with win..
I can see that logic.. pre-determined beforehand that they would be out… (potentially)..
that ACTUALLY makes sense!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:55 PM EST up reply actions
thanks MATTY! ...thats all I needed
just an ounce of reasoning to explain this…and it makes sense
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:55 PM EST up reply actions
and Denver/SanDiego is a playoff game of sorts..no matter what..and no other game can change that..
yeah..pisses me off to.. shouldn’t have even come down to this..
to think that San Diego of all teams…with the HORRIBLE season they have had…can actually make it into the playoffs!!
by dolphinsfan4life on Dec 21, 2008 8:57 PM EST up reply actions
and like was mentioned last week...
IF San Diego makes it in…JUST THINK about how BIG last weeks RIDICULOUS come back IN K.C. will then mean to the season!

at 1pm-4pm of course!

There is also a chance that CBS "protected" the game from being flexed into primetime
Miguel Cabrera who???
don't be scared of the SNF live thread guys
it’s ok to go in there and have a look around lol

better this way
The Finz have flown under thr radar all season
Frequently wrong, but never in doubt.
Phyrmun
CBS gets to veto a certain number of times
…and I bet NBC tried for the Fins/Jets game first but CBS used a veto, leaving the Broncos/Chargers up for grabs.
Just as well, and i’m sure you’re right Matty, it’ll be moved to 4pm so CBS can showcase that beauty
"That's never going to heal if you don't stop picking"

are unable to veto week 17 games…

i wonder
an absolutely crazy theory here, but imagine the miami game being moved to 4 pm. then at 4 oclock the jets find out that the patriots won adn the ravens won. meaning the jets are eliminited no matter what, cause if they beat the dolphins the pats win the division.
I wonder if the jets hate the patriots so much they would let the dolphins win the game on purpose just to screw the patriots and Billicheck
cbs didnt choses us
becasue if the patriots win against the bills then the miami jets game isnt a winner take all. the wanted a winner take all game and that is what they have now
this actually could be a blessing in disguise for miami. when we win the game, we want to get the hell out of ny as fast as we can to get ready for the game against Baltimore. this way we dont get back to miami at like 3 am.
BREAKING NEWS
SNF Live thread going on, everybody’s enjoying themselves talking Dolphins and stuff… please attend :-)

I agree with Phyrmun... we have flown under the radar all season !
I don’t want them to respect us now, it would fuk up our mojo !

Crazy
The JETS DOLPHINS matchup screams prime time. What are on earth are they thinking…so many elements….Parcells and NY…Chad…the whole thing….wow….
What a bad decision by NBC......
A close second was FOX showing the Pats/Ariz game to the end in columbia,SC when they could have gone to another game……….who wants to see Belicheat run up the score? Pennington coming home with his new possey……..Now thats cant miss TV
wait was it officially announced? or just a comment that al and the madden made?

Is it a blessing
By playing at 1pm or 4pm it will be WARMER than at 8:30pm. I am just saying…..
Stoopid!
how can the jets/fins game NOT be bigger than the bolts/broncs???
Out of the four teams, the Fins are clearly playing the best football.

its all hooplah in my opinion
its gonna be nationally televised on cbs hd…so who gives a flying favre (favre is another would for doo-doo)

both jets and giants scheduled for 1pm
so its certain one of the games will be moved to 4pm… and since it will be a double header in most markets
it’s very likely the jets will be the 4pm game. does cbs have a better game? b-more or less vs j-hole?
BUNCH OF CRAP
Do you know how exciting it is to watch Phins games AT MY HOME in Chicago? I was jumping up and down to see the end of the fourth quarter.
If I haven’t made myself clear BRANDON MARSHALL IS A BITCH AND DOSESN’T DESERVE NBC PRIME TIME
And NBC, you just screwed up because having the SD/DEN game over the PHINS will guarantee three things…
1-The conclusion to the greatest story of the season.
2-John Madden will not be able to explode because his boy Favre is playing
3-Tina Fey is a Dolphin fan and she will move 30 Rock to ABC (Well that’s fabricated, but if she is as smart as I think she is, she’ll go along)
NBC You guys suck!!!! Hopefully CBS does good this week!!!!
You guys aint shit since Seinfeld

Could Help The Dolphins
This could turn out to be a good thing tho. its much warmer in Jersey At 1 Pm than it is at night. Plus just think of the Ultimate Pleasure by sending both the ( Totally Loved League Favorites ) New Jersey Jerks AND the New England Panzies Home to thier Couch for the Playoffs. Doesnt get much better than that.!!!! :)
