BuffaloWings Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If we beat OAK, DEN beats CIN, SF beats SD, PIT beats KC, I think a very strong chance. Cause this then sets up the BUF vs NE game to be win and in, as long as PIT can take care of business week 17 vs CIN at home. I think they'd either want the PIT-CIN game moved to prime time or (as Casey D said), if DET-GB is for the NFC North, they'll want that one. Either of those two scenarios would be preferable to the BIlls-Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope CIN loses this Monday to DEN and then chokes again in primetime in a flexed SNF game at PIT to get the Bills into the postseason.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 What I want to know is can the Bills be flexed if Terry Pegula owns the Sabres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsxfirefighter Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 What I want to know is can the Bills be flexed if Terry Pegula owns the Sabres? YES, however the NFL informed Kim that in order for the Bills to be considered for a Flex Schedule, they will need to build a new Stadium!!

section122 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I thought I read there WILL be a game flexed in week 17. I also saw that the announcement must be made at least 12 days in advance. Further, since I believe that regardless of outcomes in week 16, Cincy & Pitt will have playoff implications, that would seem like a far more prudent candidate for switching. This would be a dream for us given Cincy's propensity for folding in prime time and the fact that we will need them to lose this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Odds of flex (in my opinion): Detroit/Green Bay (50%) Pitt/Cinci (30%) Buffalo/Pats* (15%) -- but only if KC and SD lose this weekend and the Bills win Carolina/Atlanta (5%) -- will be game for NFC South title if Atlanta beats NO this week and Panthers beat Browns Either I've lost my ability to read, or you missed the "flexible scheduling procedures" link that describes how they make the W17 determination. 75% of statistics are made up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills of Boston Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If I recall correctly the game could be flexed to the 4 or 430 times slot due to the Pats/Broncos tiebreaker for the #1 seed scenario (like last year.) I'm not sure if they have a hierarchy of reasons to flex or not. They don't want the Pats winning at 1 and having Denver left with nothing to play for at 4pm vs Oakland... This is assuming NE beats the Jets and Den beats Cincy of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the fact that NBC looooooooves the Pats* on primetime, and the Bills' attempt to break their playoff drought is a compelling storyline.

I also see the Bills/Pats game at the 4pm time slot, and the Pit/Cincy at the 830 time slot (if it is a win and your in game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I see our game being national. The steelers have a big fan base, as long as we are in contention I am sure we are the national game on CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steelers have a big fan base, as long as we are in contention I am sure we are the national game on CBS. Anything with huge playoff implications may very well get flexed. Whether it be to a late game or say from CBS to FOX for national coverage. Those with Sunday Ticket and Game Tracker ... its kind of moot as we see all games and can get scores instantly. if you really want to watch 2 games on at the same time - record one and watch the other. week 16 implications - I cant see them moving Seattle Saturday Philadelphia at Washington 4:30 pm NFLN San Diego at San Francisco 8:25 pm CBS Sunday - national? NY Giants at St. Louis 4:05 PM FOX - not that impressive a match up Buffalo at Oakland 4:25 PM CBS - not that impressive a match up YET the best D in the NFL striving for a WC spot Indianapolis at Dallas 4:25 PM CBS - not that impressive a match up as both are in the playoffs Seattle at Arizona 8:30 PM NBC in week 17 I left off games I felt were not important WRT the playoffs Carolina at Atlanta 1:00 PM FOX - playoff implications Cleveland at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS - playoff implications Detroit at Green Bay 1:00 PM FOX - playoff implications San Diego at Kansas City 1:00 PM CBS - playoff implications Buffalo at New England 1:00 PM CBS - playoff implications could flex to 4PM in certain regions Philadelphia at NY Giants 1:00 PM FOX - playoff implications Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM CBS - playoff implications could flex to 4PM in certain regions New Orleans at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM FOX - playoff implications Arizona at San Francisco 4:25 PM FOX - playoff implications St. Louis at Seattle 4:25 PM FOX - playoff implications wow what a week 17 it will be Edited December 19, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 in week 17 Carolina at Atlanta 1:00 PM FOX Cleveland at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS Detroit at Green Bay 1:00 PM FOX San Diego at Kansas City 1:00 PM CBS Buffalo at New England 1:00 PM CBS Philadelphia at NY Giants 1:00 PM FOX Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM CBS New Orleans at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM FOX Arizona at San Francisco 4:25 PM FOX St. Louis at Seattle 4:25 PM FOX RIGHT NOW, I can only see DET-GB getting flexed. If the CIN-PIT game is for the division, I say that one gets flexed because Pittsburgh has a bigger national following. The Pats going for the #1 seed combined with the Bills trying to break the playoff drought is compelling, but I don't think it's enough to get them flexed. I see it more like the Bills-Pats gets moved to 4:00 because that's when Denver plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the Oakland v Denver game means little compared to the win or go home playoff games that's why I left the games off my list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 No but chance for 4:25 which I would hate @BenVolin: #Patriots announce that if #Broncos win tonight, next week's Pats-Bills game will be flexed to 4:25.
