Dan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Week 12: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills Monday, November 24, 2014 at 7:00pm (at Ford Field, Detroit) TV Network: CBS (TV Map) Announcers: Spero Dedes, Solomon Wilcots and Steve Tasker DirecTV: 706 Bills Radio: On the call: John Murphy (play by play), Mark Kelso (analyst), Sal Capaccio (sideline) Flagship: Buffalo – WGR550 (550AM); Toronto - 590 The Fan; Rochester - WCMF (96.5) and WROC (950AM); Syracuse - WKRL (100.9/WKLL 94.9) Sirius/XM: 102 (Internet 803) ================================================================= Game Preview: Before attempting to dig their playoff hopes out of a deep hole, the Buffalo Bills will first need to dig themselves out of snow-covered Buffalo. The New York Jets have been digging for answers all season. After more than five feet of snow blanketed Buffalo and buried Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Bills will travel to Detroit to play their "home" game against the Jets on Monday night. Buffalo has won three of the past four meetings with New York, and Orton tossed four TDs -- including a 61-yarder to Sammy Watkins -- in a 43-23 road victory in Week 8.

My Thoughts on the Game: As if the season couldn’t seem to be going much worse, now mother nature steals a home game from us. I hope all my friends and family in Buffalo are doing well! Regarding the game.. well, we get two bad teams facing each other in a neutral site. This has all the makings of a dog of a game. The Bills think they’re still fighting for a playoff spot, while the Jets are just trying to hang on to some dignity. What I expect: 1. The Defense will come out strong and play a good solid game. 2. The Offense will look listless and predictably conservative at all the wrong times. 3. The team that makes the least mistakes will win. Yay. Go Bills!

Solomon Grundy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 CONTAIN Michael Vick!!! Don't let him continue drives using his legs vs his arm.

Dan Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 The team that scores the most points will win. Go Bills! Or could it be the team that prevents the other from scoring more will win? Pretty much sums up our offense philosophy. Great game day thread Dan! CBF Thanks. I wonder sometimes if I should keep compiling the information into a pre-game thread, with 26CB's excellent game preparation thread already in existence. Nice to know some find it a worthwhile endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 An ESPN channels broadcasting the game? Only if Pegula obtains a special league exemption; there is a conflict with Bandits broadcasting rights and Penn State is considered to be just on the outskirts of the Detroit market.

KDIGGZ Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 this isn't officially MNF, i don't think the game day threads should say that. until we really get a MNF game i don't want to cheapen it with this fake one which just happens to be a game on Monday night. hopefully we give them a show tonight and then maybe next season they will think we are worthy of a real MNF game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, it kinda is appropriate to call it a monday night game. What is really bad is that it took an act of God to get the Bills to "host" a Monday Night game again!

If it's a sports bar then I think they'd want to show both. Besides, they can show the entire 1st half of Bills/Jets before Ravens/Saints even starts.
