Week 12 Matchup Between Bears and Vikings Moved to 3:15 PM Central

by Gonzo on Nov 11, 2009 4:33 PM CST in Vikings 2009 Season Comment 35 comments

Well, as we mentioned earlier, if everything bounces right for the Beloved Purple, they may have a chance to close out the NFC North division race in Week 12. If that's the case, the National Football League has given anyone that wants to see it the opportunity to do so.

Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Week 12 matchup between the Bears and the Vikings that was scheduled for noon Central time on 29 November has been moved to 3:15 PM Central time instead. Why? Because, well, apparently Fox didn't have a 3:15 game scheduled that say. They obviously came to the conclusion that the Bears have been woefully underexposed this season so far, and so decided to put the Bears/Vikings game into that featured afternoon slot.

So, if you had any plans for anything after about 3 PM Central on 29 November, you might want to move a few things around if you can.

HA HA HA... Good One!!! Kinnda like they slaughtered Arizona. Good one though. Made me laugh!!

Ingles, por favor?

The Vikings haven’t played Arizona yet this year. . .and last year when they got together, the Vikings whooped them pretty good.

Unless you’re talking about ancient history, in which case, I believe the word I’m looking for is “lame.”

I may be completely misinterpreting what you’re saying. . .of course, I’ve had my head buried in a textbook for the last hour and a half, which may have diminished my capacity for clear thought.

I think Gez

misread the comment, and thought the OP said the VIKINGS slaughtered by the BEARS and said the BEARS got slaughtered by Arizona…?

That's certainly what I'm hoping for (-:

I’ll be at that game. Guess that’s 3 more hours of pregame drinking…

Now I HAVE to get tickets.

I tailgated for roughly 6 hours before last year’s Sunday night Bears game and survived, so a 3:15 start should be nothing!

Brett Favre vs a hurricane

HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON……….the hurricane’s name is HURRICANE FAVRE…

I bet this has nothing to do w/Favre and the ratings he brings.

It’s all because the 4-4 Bears aren’t getting enough exposure. (makes no sense)
If you count this Thursdays game @49ers, the Bears have 4 Prime-time games this year. The Bears are getting plenty of exposure, this move definitely all about ratings. :)

Black and blue

always gets a lot of hype and primetime matchups. Our division is probably the most brutal, competitive, and hate-filled in the NFL for the last 40 years. People say NFC East but they don’t have even close to a passionate hatred toward other teams like I do for the Packers and Bears.

by cdubs on Nov 12, 2009 9:13 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs

You're right, this is a good match-up, even w/out Favre

but Favre and the Vikings are breaking records as far as TV-Ratings go. The NFL wants this game on in as many markets as it can.
Don’t be surprised if the Bengals or Giants game gets bumped too.

On a side note...

Does anyone make plans that far in advance? I know I barely can plan the next two hours, let alone a Sunday afternoon that is over two weeks away.

it's amazing how far out

your schedule gets booked when you say I do. People ask me if I have plans and I really have to think about it. I usually end up saying that I don’t know, let me check my calendar…aka wife.

Nope

Can’t find someone worth throwing away freedom for yet…

LOL......

keep looking my friend, those kind are out there. My wife isn’t interested in any sports, but she respects the love that I have for the vikes and NFL in general.

Dito.

Sundays=mine from Sept. to Jan. Time for the fufu stuff later.

I will say though.......

she is starting to come around. Every once in a while she will sit down, watch some of the game, and ask a question or two about it. She will admit that she has a good time at training camp every year too.

Good news for AP

Larry Foote and Ernie Simms look to be out for this Sunday.

by Jepp The Viking on Nov 12, 2009 2:40 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Oh jeez, AP should get 5+ yards every carry.

by lioninacoma on Nov 12, 2009 4:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

More like

50+ yards every carry….detroit is atrocious.

by cdubs on Nov 12, 2009 4:47 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Some asked about a 200 yd+ game for AD

If it’s going to happen, this would be the best candidate. I see at least three 30+ yard runs.

by ChemErik on Nov 12, 2009 5:22 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

It looks like...

the great and mighty savior of the Bears will enter the game against our Vikings as the league leader in interceptions.

Never before in NFL history

Have a quarterback and a team been so perfectly matched as Jay Cutler and the 2009 Chicago Bears.

17 INT’s for Jay Cutler so far this year.

Is it too late for FOX to reconsider?

After the way the Bears looked last night, maybe FOX will want to move our game back to noon. :=)

by Belarus on Nov 13, 2009 7:15 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

I hope not

I think it’s been made clear that the more eyes Jay Cutler has on him, the worse he plays.

Is there a more overrated quarterback. . .offensive player. . .overall player. . .in the league right now than that guy? I wouldn’t think so.
