Of course move it to cable. Very stupid a playoff game should be on Network television. Hopefully, ESPN does a simulcast broadcast on ABC.

Yes i have ESPN but not everyone does.

This is awesome for people who work during the week.

Your team is in the playoffs, and the game starts at 8:15pm on a Monday. Sweet.

And your team gets a short week going into the next round of a freaking playoff game if they win.

Bravo Goodell, Bravo.

That sucks for the wild card winner, one less day of preparation.

yeah that's a huge disadvantage especially if its the team that needs to play the 1 seed the following week.

 

[GeauxSainz]

Yeah, not a fan of this.

Goodell is a clueless anti football person.

The Monday night game will also air on ABC, and ESPN2 will feature a MegaCast with Peyton and Eli Manning.

Thanks goodness. I dumped espn a few years ago.

Did Goodell get Mickey Mouse’s permission first?

Lame.

Mickey said money made on Monday is just as green as money made from the weekend games.

While I'd much rather playoff games on Sat/Sun, I can live with a Monday night game. Not a fan of the short week for a wildcard winner vs a team with a bye.

I do hope there are multiple networks television the game. Being able to see it in 4k would be nice.

 

[Rickboy]

I’m OK with it as long as long as the Manning boys are doing their thing.

OBVIOUSLY, the NFL has determined that the Saints will be a Wildcard Team...

Yes if the Saint win a wild card game, they automatically play the next round on Thursday.
