Sunday, 8 September 2013 Falcons v. Saints

skymike · 08-14-2013, 04:55 PM

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!
