Re: The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread
That's why we are all pointing fingers at the coach here in MN......It's more than a coincidence when the same team that dominated last year is falling apart in every facet of the game.....players calling out the coach......players arguing with each other on the sidelines.........players choosing not to play on minor injuries..........players admitting to tanking it....etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if they run the table from here on out.

Yeah, especially when Steve Johnson, who's been fantastic this season, dropped that game winning TD pass in the endzone. The Patriots, Ravens, Jets, and the other top teams in the AFC were pulling for the Bills yesterday. But it wasn't meant to be I guess. Pittsburgh is obviously the better team, and the better team usually pulls it out in the end in close games like that.

whats the point of having 49ers vs Arizona? 2 losing teams, the MNF football guys seem to be going out of their way not to talk about the game tonight...lol
I know you're relatively a new fan to the NFL, but MNF is NOT the marquee game it used to be. For decades it was legendary. Part of american culture. The NFL started moving away from it years ago. The big prime time game is now on Sunday night.
Whenever the MNF contract expires, I would not be surprised if the NFL just abandons it.

Well the Monday night games are picked well before the season begins, as all games are, so it's tough to say how certain teams are going to be in week 13. The Niners were supposed to be the class of the NFC West this season, obviously that hasn't worked out so far, though as bad as that division is they still have a legit shot at winning it.
The Sunday night game, has the option of flex scheduling, where they can actually switch the game if it were a matchup such as tonight. They could've switched it for say Bears/Eagles. But it wouldn't be fair to take a MONDAY night game and change them to Sunday afternoon and vice versa. Too many factors at play there.
Monday Night Football is still a BIG deal. It's not going anywhere, nor are these bad matchups from time to time.
