While watching the game and thinking on how I had to go to work today definitely made me wish this was on a Saturday, with it's late kick-off.

What's everyone else's opinion?
Monday night is fine?
Keep the nighttime kick-off, but move it to Saturday?
Move it to a Saturday afternoon kick-off?

I can see positives with all 3 options, especially for the winning fans getting a chance to celebrate later into the night with the Saturday night option.

Hate it, but it only exists because they bow to their corporate ESPN overlords who in turn bow to their NFL overlords.

The idea that we can't play the title game on Saturday because we have to let Chiefs/Broncos and whatever other shitty NFL game be on unopposed AND at night is absolutely ridiculous.

Would prefer Sat night as well. Just like Super Bowl needs to be Sat evening.

Great if you win... horrible if you lose.

It sucks for all involved, especially if you're traveling, or have been traveling to multiple post-season games.

Should be on a Saturday, like most every other game in the regular season.

Frick the NFL.

I don't know if I can answer this question well because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night.

Good for media companies
Bad for fans

Since money drives the bus we are stuck with Monday when Saturday makes way more sense

I will say, being East Coast (Virginia) makes it suck even harder. Game started just after 8 my time, was past midnight when it ended.

1000% agree! Saturday night must for NC game.

Still was a great game, 2 great football teams, slugging away like there was no tomorrow. Not even for a Monday...just was.

Bad, I get they want a big TV audience, but lack of sleep on a Tuesday sucks

It pretty much has to be on Monday. The NFL is playing Saturday games at that point and it would be dumb to go head to head

The only option is to move everything up a couple weeks

This. Dont really feel bad today but thats because I didnt drink too much last night. If you drink a lot and you win the next day is still awesome. If you drink a lot and lose, like in 2016, the next day SAHUUUCKS

I was an hour late to work. I hate it.

Just run it Saturday night and damn the NFL. We will find out who like what.
