For point of reference, Sunday's 4pm ET Seahawks-49ers game had a couple more million viewers than last year's NBA Finals game 7.

And that wasn't even a Primetime game! Though it did include two of the top NFC Teams in a game of playoff importance.

To make the audience more impressive, the game wasn't the only one in the slot, so it wasn't available in all markets, with New York being one of them that didn't have it.

Yup. Never going to happen.

As long as the "lets not upset anyone" approach rules over the "just make the best football game" approach....this will remain as is.

what I don't get is, just like penalties you can decide if you want to play on a clear day or not. if youre having a tourney and want no cpu randomness.........

false start: off
fumbles : off
holding : off
weather : clear
bad snaps : off

Weather (rain or snow) needs to play a part in throwing accuracy, throwing velocity, catching ability, foot planting, agility, and acceleration.

Wind also needs to have an impact on QBs not just punts and kicks.

First thing I thought of when you said this is Manning in New England a few weeks ago, wind clearly had an impact on his ability to push the ball downfield.
