Dammit. With all the talk of spreading the NFL to London and Europe, why can't they ever think of the ones who live there and don't want to stay up until 2:30 AM to watch a night game? They better not touch the last three games that all start at a reasonable 7:05 PM in Europe.

I'm with you, Dollar. I was hoping last night was the last time I had to get up at 2 AM to watch a Pats game this regular-season, but then they have to flex that game.

On the other hand the only real argument for a different game could be made for Steelers - Bengals and maybe the Carolina game if they want to show the undefeated team (assuming Carolina wins next week as well), so flexing this game make some sense.

Of course, those of us on the West Coast (esp. in the SF Bay Area, where you virtually always get an OAK or SF game in the 4 PM eastern slot and so the Pats are only on when playing one of those teams or at night) are thrilled with the change.

This is good, it gives everyone an extra 6 hours to heal #WishIWasKidding
Just think of what a little deer antler spray could do in that time frame... It's crazy I had the same thought that it gave more time for the medical staff to work on the players before game time, so a full day of prep and stretch instead of just the AM.

I got totally spoiled this week visiting my brother in LA. LOVE 10am football, and even the Bears/Packers night game was over by 8:30.
Only negative is we get every damn SD game, since the chargers consider LA a "home market"..... Gets annoying when the team is shit... We also get every OAK preseason game
