greasywheels121 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tvlisting...tory?id=2018640 MNF's 36th season kicks off with Pats-Raiders ABC Sports ABC's NFL "Monday Night Football," the most successful and longest-running primetime sports series in television history, will kick off its 36th season as the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots, host the Oakland Raiders and new receiver Randy Moss on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 9 p.m. ET, it was announced jointly today (March 21) by ABC and the NFL. ABC Sports bookends the NFL kickoff weekend with the first of 16 consecutive Monday night games on Monday, Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. ET when the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles travel to Atlanta to take on Michael Vick and the defending NFC South champion Falcons in a rematch of the NFC Championship game, which the Eagles won 27-10. Under the leadership of head coach Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots have become a dynasty, winning the last two Super Bowls and three in the last four years. Two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady leads the Patriots, as they host the Oakland Raiders, who have retooled their offense this off-season by trading for WR Randy Moss, the most dynamic wide receiver in the NFL, and by signing former Jets RB LaMont Jordan. In the first Monday game, Donovan McNabb, Terrell Owens and the defending NFC champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, travel to Atlanta to take on Michael Vick and the Falcons. The Eagles, who have been to four straight NFC Championship games, finally broke through and made it to the Super Bowl last season by defeating the Falcons 27-10 in the NFC Championship Game. It was a great turnaround season for the Falcons, who went from 5-11 in 2003 to 11-5 last season. The remainder of the 2005 "Monday Night Football" schedule will be announced at a later date. During this past season, "Monday Night Football" finished in the Top 10 (6th) among all primetime shows on network television for the 15th consecutive season among households, viewers and all key adult and men demographics. In fact, once again it finished first in the key male demographics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Come on, let's get a game that's just a tad bit better, or at least get rivals out there. I'm not calling the "Tuck" game or whatever it's called a game to make a rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxhawks Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 its probably because of moss, but come on the raiders suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Anyone else think LaMont Jordan is a bootleg RB??? I don't think he's that good at all and I've seen lots of people hype him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backman Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 When was the last time these two played each other? Anyways, it good to start the season with a blowout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 QUOTE(backman @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 09:32 PM) When was the last time these two played each other? Anyways, it good to start the season with a blowout! Wouldn't that be the playoff game in the snow a couple of years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 The following is an educated guess: The Bears won't be on MNF this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
