3PM are East coat games. Unless it is against a West Coast team like SF.

We played the Falcons in 2011 on MFN

Just curious, why are you telling me this? I know when the games are. I was there at the Falcons Monday night games in 2011, and 2009, etc. I even mentioned the score of the 2011 one in my post.

We have played the Panthers at 3 PM in the Dome before. And the Rams. Look it up. So it is NOT just West Coast teams. And it's not always noon. Trust me, I know when the games are.

have it your way... However.

It is not a man made decision, the time scheduling of games is automated... It is not a decision designed to give anyone an edge. There are rules that govern the process.

3pm games are louder because people have 3 more hours to drink, and the NFL doesn't just say "lets have it at 3pm".

I'm so confused..............

I know this isn't a smack thread, so just thought I'd post a well known fact.

Our normal start time is noon, as with all teams in the Central Time Zone, BUT actually, the NFL does move some times to put attractive matchups on national tv. We dont get a lot of these, because we sucked last year.

Our game vs. the 49ers this year is apparently attractive nationally, and also this is probably placed at 3pm so their audience doesnt have to tune in it at 11am Pacific Time.

I can remember when we sucked so bad we always kicked off at noon at home, and rarely had a Monday Night game.

Yeah, but Mike, even if we're not Saints fans - Falcons v. Saints should be a MNF or SNF game...

Yeah, it's not like they're not four states involved (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia)...

And they even have a Saints/Falcons Express Train Ride for their 1:1 games!
