Yeah, they have never flexed Monday night games but they have 6 games listed as TBD that week and our game against the Pats is one of them. I feel like the schedule makers are leaving that game open still and that's why they scheduled us for so many primetime games in the back end of the schedule because they aren't fully sold on giving the Bills primetime games yet so they gave us one Sunday night game late in the year that they can flex out and mde our Monday night game against the Pats a game that they can get out of as well
No, it is definitely just a typo.

We might not have 4 primetime games. The Bills vs Pats Monday night game in week 16 according to the nfl.com website shows 6 games as TBD for that week and the Bills vs Pats game is one of them. So it looks like they could move that Monday night game
I think it is a mistake. Monday night games are not flexible yet.

Every team in the league gets a Thursday night game, so that doesn't really count for much in my eyes.
But two Monday nights and a Sunday night? That's some legit respect from the networks.
Does anyone know the last time the Bills were SCHEDULED for a Sunday Night Football game outright, not flexed into one? Has it EVER happened as part of the NBC Sunday Night Football package? I don't believe it has.They never have, and if you go back to the ABC monday night schedule, you are looking at 1994.

So Sal liked this, and then proceeded to post the bills are having multiple night games. Wonder if this is true?

So, if we know what week the Patriots* have their bye, I’m guessing we are the next opponent.
Lol, sounds like you are close. After a thursday night game?

If Seattle at Buffalo 4:25 is true then when was the last time the Bills had a late start (not counting primetime games) at home. I honestly can't remember the last 4:00 start at home.
In 2009, when we had Terrell Owens on the team, we had two 4:00 home games.

maybe im the only one, but I like sunday at 1.
Just because people want 1 or 2 night games, doesnt mean they dont like 1pm games. I think everybody likes 1pm games. They also like something different once in a while.

That would be interesting.
AFC home games aren't on FOX? Schefter doesn't know what he's talking about.
When the NFC team is the visitor they get their primary coverage network. I know they have relaxed that rule a bit, but that is normally how it is done.
Its a fake Schefter account.

I cant wait to see a world, where the CDC tries to claim that a porta-potty in the parkinglot, is less likely to get me sick, then a crowded nfl stadium selling beer to fans. I just dont see this happening. Its either going to be a full stadium, or no fans at all.

No, but what does latter have to do with the former. My point, Sunday afternoon games are the best Bills experience. The odd-ball home game times are not conducive to that.
The only reason you think that, is because the bills have only won 1 of those night games at home over the last 20 years, and it was a meaningless game against the dolphins in 2012. I love 1pm games too, but having 1 or 2 night games at New Era Field would be a nice treat. The stadium looks amazing under the lights.

I thought they try to have thursday night games be a short commute for the away team.

I may have to try to find the audio. I went back and checked my texts from that day, and they do mention being the top requested team.
Either way, I disagree that the Cowboys and Pats were the draws. We had very high ratings for the Steelers game too. The common factor across all the highest rated regular season games last year was the Bills. It may have been people wanting to see how the young, upstart Bills do against those teams, but the Bills were the draw.
The steelers game high ratings, were cleverly phrases as, "highest rated prime time program of that week." Most SNF games are the highest rated primetime program of the week. The bills vs. Steelers game ratings were not any higher then any other SNF game, i think they were on the mid to lower end.

This is a cool idea. If you win in Dallas / Detroit (alternates each year) you get to host the 3rd Thanksgiving game the following year.
As fun as thanksgiving was, and as understanding as my wife and mother were of the bills playing last year. I would feel bad about making 2 thanksgivings in a row about the bills.

Im used to being disapponted when it comes to the bills on the primetime schedule. I feel the bills will at the very least have games that have an easy chance to be flexed out of the slot, in case they dont perform well.

Yeah, i think we get 2 prime time games, maybe another shot at a week 16 nfl network flex. And a couple 4:25 double header games. Im hoping for at least 1 4:25 home game this year
-
I voted based on a mix of what i think is realistic, vs. What i am hoping will happen. Obviously i hope this all ends tomorrow, but i know its not realistic. I think i would be ok if they start a month late, and we can start going to games half way through the season. I have heard faucci say several times, "i dont know whats going to happen," or "we may not have sports this year" and "we have to look at the daily data." That to me says anything is still possible with regards to football at this point.

Do you trade your 2021 draft picks for veterans, if there is no college football?

I wonder why it got moved back a week
Even without Covid, the season was going to start a week later, due to labor day being late. Seems like it has a domino effect.

Been saying that the season will be delayed. There is no reason to start on time. Move everything back. NFL has this luxury because March, April, and May are typically slow for sports. They can move the playoffs and super bowl back.
NFL has to account for the possibility that flu season will be bad and could interrupt the season. I've actually said they should postpone until December or January just to make sure COVID-19 is under control. Nothing wrong with a shortened season into the spring time.
If you think march, april and may are slow sports months, what months do you consider not to be slow? March is NCAA basketball tournament. April and May are nhl and nba playoffs, and start of baseball season. It is probably the busiest sports months of the year where football is not involved.

This was the peak of my being pissed off as a sports fan. Only a few months removed from the Sabres blowing it in the 2007 playoffs, and the drury and briere exit. Then we have such a big lead against the cowboys with less then a minute to go, and we still lose. I dont think the bills can ever make me that upset ever again. I was able to rewatch the playoff game against the texans the next day, but i cant rewatch the game against the cowboys from 2007. It took the thanksgiving day game this past year to finally get over it.

I do not understand how people expect large crowd events until there is herd immunity or a good and tested vaccine. I can go a long time without being at a game if I can watch on TV.
My mindset is that 5 months will pass between now and the start of the regular season, and 3 months ago, you just started to hear this novel coronavirus. So I think there is still alot to learn about it, that could work to our advantage. If the season starts a month or two late, that could work as well. But i don't think we will have to wait until 2021 to have football again.

Breaking News: Madden 21, PS4 version, will have a Tailgate Mode! Silver trophy if your character can stagger to the stadium entrance from the lots.
Id play this over franchise mode.

I like what beane said, that they put less value on their 1st round pick due to the covid-19, limiting rookie camps and interviews. So they'd rather have Diggs. No way they move back up that far.

I voted no, but I don’t attend games anyways. Can’t beat the view and comfort from home. That being said, stadiums are huge. I can’t see why they couldn’t devise some social distancing capacity for these games. Ticket revenue is such a small amount of revenue for the NFL. If a stadium has a capacity of 70,000 maybe sell 20,000 tickets, all seats spaced out strategically. Only have a gate for a certain amount of tickets at a certain amount of time. Spread the entrance times out amongst 2 hours. If you have X section you go to X gate at X time kind of thing. It sounds more complicated than I think it would be. You section off seats. Skipping a row or some seats between people. On the ticket you print what gate they are to enter and at what time. An organization as large as the NFL shouldn’t have a problem figuring out the logistics.
How do those 20,000 fans maintain the social distancing that would be required for the 3-4 hours they would need to. Yeah their seats are 1 or 2 seats away from another person, but when you go in line for food or to use the rest room, there is just no way this would work. We either can attend a sold out stadium in september, or the games will be played in front of nobody. There isn't an in between.

2 home games at night is perfect. Anything more and id find it tough to go to all of them. I also like that they are spread out!
