Packers/Lions for NFC North title, depending on what happens next week, could be all or nothing for one of the teams.

NFL Flexible Scheduling

NFL Flexible Scheduling 101

Begins Sunday of Week 5
In effect during Weeks 5-17
Up to 2 games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Weeks 5-10
Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved into the Sunday night window.
The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night during flex weeks will be listed at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The majority of games on Sundays will be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during flex weeks except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time zones which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET.
No impact on Thursday, Saturday or Monday night games.
The NFL will decide (after consultation with CBS, FOX, NBC) and announce as early as possible the game being played at 8:15 p.m. ET. The announcement will come no later than 12 days prior to the game. The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:15 p.m. ET.
Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications.
The NBC Sunday night time slot in "flex" weeks will list the game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.
Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in flex weeks are subject to change 12 days in advance (6 days in Week 17) and should plan accordingly.
NFL schedules all games.
Teams will be informed as soon as they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

I sure as hell hope it get's flexed or I'm going to end up listening on the radio.
It would suck to miss that game!

Two other games are up for consideration... Carolina at Atlanta could be for NFCS Title.

Cincy at Pittsburgh could be for division and other team might be out. Pittsburgh is a HUGE national draw.

What may happen is Packers Lions get moved to the late game instead of flexing. I think moving them to SNF makes the most sense, but you never know.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

It'll depend on whether or not the loser of the game gets eliminated from playoff contention entirely.

NFL has not officially flexed it yet. NFL.com still has it as a 1 pm EST start.

It'd be rather annoying to miss yet another game, though, because it's on at 2:30 am again. I should become a Browns fan or something. They don't have these luxury problems.

dfosterf (19m) : OTC has increased Packers cap room to over 32 mil

Martha Careful (1h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (3h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (3h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (3h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (3h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (3h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (3h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (5h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (5h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (5h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (5h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (5h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (5h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (6h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (6h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (12h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (14h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (15h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (18h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (18h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (21h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (21h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (23h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
