RaiderHaters Revenge 3,587 Posted January 12, 2009 I mean seriously they do everything they can to screw west coast teams. There is absolutely no reason why the Pitt/Balt game shouldnt be 3pm est game and the AZ/Phi game be at 6:30. Now you a home team on the west coast starting at an earlier time then they ever start games. Its getting tiresome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Next Generation 10 Posted January 12, 2009 The game times were decided before the teams were so tell me, how is that an East Coast bias??? It could have been Ravens at Chargers in the night game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuse9 128 Posted January 12, 2009 They should have switched it. If a team has homefield advantage they should get all the perks. However, with a 3:00 start time, aren't they only starting an hour earlier? That shouldn't be that big of a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just guessing here, but it probably has something to do with the networks already having their commercials sold and the companies having spent x dollars for ads running at a specific time.

phillybear 364 Posted January 12, 2009 Doesn't this actually hurt the East Coast team more, having to fly cross country and play an earlier than usual game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phurfur 70 Posted January 12, 2009 Doesn't this actually hurt the East Coast team more, having to fly cross country and play an earlier than usual game? No they will be playing at EST in their heads. It doesn't matter what time the game starts to AZ. They are at home, in a dome and have a extra day off. This will have NO impact on the game. On the other hand with the game in Pitt being later the weather could ?? be a factor. Usually the later it gets the colder it gets. I think the east coast teams have a legitimate gripe here.

Yes but we move to PST during daylight savings time, this confuses allot of people. Personally I prefer PST, I love starting football at 10 AM with Bloody Marys and brunch.

itsbigmoni 1 Posted January 17, 2009 I'm surprised how few people read profootballtalk.com. The primetime game alternates every year between fox and cbs. CBS has afc games, fox has nfc games. Next year, regardless of the teams involved, the nfc championship game will be in prime time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
