    So, the Bills are playing the Broncos on the road on Saturday after playing the Steelers at home on a Sunday night?

     

    Yep, sounds fair. 

     

    🤮🤮🤮

    Is there a difference if the game against the Steelers was Sunday at 1pm? It's still 6 days no matter how you look at it. No different than playing Monday night and then the following Sunday at 1pm

    Sure would love it if the NFL let us know when and at what time this game is.  I assume we'll get the Saturday nod but what time?  That's a busy weekend for me and I would like to plan around the Bills accordingly...

    This was just stated on NFL Network.

     

    Week 15

    Bills at Broncos 4:30pm Saturday

    Panthers at Packers 8:20pm Saturday nignt

  3. With the way the new playoff format is with 7 teams and only the top team getting a first round bye, technically the 3 seed could have home field throughout. Especially, with the above scenario. If we did play the Browns round 1 and win and the Raiders went back to Arrowhead and knock off the Chiefs again which to me is possible, that means that the lowest remaining team would go to Pittsburgh after their bye. If that ends up being the Raiders after knocking off the Chiefs, that means with the Chiefs eliminated, the Bills become the next highest remaining seed and will also play round 2 at home as well. If the Raiders go to Pittsburgh and knock them off and the Bills win round 2, that leaves the Bills home for the Championship game against any remaining opponent. It's crazy to think about but could happen

  4. I think we're a good team. I think the games against the Titans and Chiefs makes our numbers and stuff look a little worse but we have beaten good teams

     

    Dolphins 6-4

    Rams 6-3

    Raiders 6-4 (nearly knocked of the Chiefs twice)

    Seahawks 7-3

     

    I think we are right below the Steelers and Chiefs and I honestly feel if we play the Chiefs again that we can beat them as well as the Titans when we aren't preparing for both teams in the same week and we don't know if we are gonna play one or both teams with one of them coming off two and half weeks rest to prepare

    Even though the Giants and Cowboys are garbage teams they would get the primetime game if the division is on the line. Both teams have large fanbases and have a strong national appeal. Yes the division sucks but if these hapless teams are fighting for the division then it will bring in strong ratings which is what the league/NBC want.

    I think the league puts too much emphasis on markets. I don't think people watch primetime games because it's the Cowboys and Giants, I think they watch primetime games because it's football. When the Bills were good in the early 90's they were on primetime all the time. The Packers are a small market team but they get 5 primetime games a year guaranteed. I know I personally watch a Sunday night game because it's a football game. I actually get tired of seeing the Giants and Jets and Cowboys play a million night games a year

    Both of the plays were identical.  Play-action to the back and then get Hughes to make a one-on-one decision as to who he should tackle.  He bit on the RB both times and Murray literally walked in to the end zone.

    Where were the other LB's and especially where was the D-Line??  They were invisible.  It was great scouting by the Cardinals to see that weakness in our defense.

    It's all pretty discouraging.

     

     

     

    See that weakness in our defense? Kyler runs that play 75 times a game anyway. Doesn't matter who the defense is. He got lucky twice by players being too aggressive

    possible week 17 games....

     

    Green Bay at chicago

    pitt at clevrland

    dallas at giants 

    cards at rams

     

    there are a few other games where a team needs to win and get in

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The Rams will be at their 5 game primetime max already. Same with the Packers. And there's no way I can see them having two 5-10 teams between the Giants and Cowboys to see who wins a crappy division. Every team can only have a maximum of 5 primetime games a season

    I'm pretty sure there's no SNF scheduled for week 17.  Gives teams more time to get ready for playoff games the following weekend.

    They don't schedule them right away when the schedule is made. They leave it open to choose from the 1pm or 4pm games. They have always done that with the exception of a couple years ago when the NFL was playing on Christmas

  9. So, looking at the week 17 slate of games, there are only two games that I see as possible flex material for SNF that week.

     

    The first one is Steelers vs Browns

     

    The Steelers could very well be playing for a perfect season come week 17. I have looked at their schedule and the only two teams I could possibly see beating them would be the Ravens on Thanksgiving night and possibly us On SNF in week 14. That's about it. Unless they drop a dud against a bad team, I can't see them really losing anymore than one game to that point in the season. Which then leaves the Browns who should still be in the thick of the playoff race in the last week of the season which could make for high flex appeal. Especially, since the Steelers have always been a hot ticket for primetime games. There's also the fact that I believe every team is allowed up to a max of 5 primetime games a season. The Steelers would not have exhausted that yet. This could very well be the pick

     

    The second option is Dolphins vs Bills

     

    Both teams should be fighting for the division come the last week of the season which could lead to a grudge match to put on SNF to end the season. The one thing that this game has to make it more appealing than the Steelers vs Browns game is that, if the Steelers do have home field wrapped up, they could decide to sit some players. I don't know if the NFL is gonna want a bunch of Steelers backups playing on national tv. Josh Allen vs Tua could be intriguing for them to move it plus, I'm fairly certain this division will come down to this game which means neither team will be resting any starters. The one reason why the NFL might not flex this game is the Bills could be coming into this game with 4 straight primetime games already, if they make that Broncos game a Saturday night game that is. I don't think they will want the same team on primetime 5 weeks in a row but then again, who knows?

     

    No other game is appealing enough to flex that week. The Packers and Bears game could be flexed but the Packers would have alreadt had their 5 primetime games by that point and the Rams would have had their 5 primetime games as well. They play the Cardinals that week

     

    I think it's possible and can be interesting. 

     

    Let's Go Bills!!!!

    My guess is they will do the Bengals at Steelers. That game is a 4:25 start which usually means it's broadcast to the entire country. The Bills-Cards and Chargers-Dolphins are both 4:05 starts. These games will probably get the 2nd and 3rd announcing teams from CBS.

    It says on the NFL.com site that the Bengals vs Steelers game is on Fox. The 3 games on at 4:00 on CBS is Chargers vs Dolphins, Bills vs Cardinals and Broncos vs Raiders. So, unless the Steelers game moves to CBS unless that's a typo on NFL.com, we could have the number 1 game on CBS. Roethlisberger looks like he could be missing that game to so it might not appeal to many people seeing Mason Rudolph going against the Bengals
