BringBackFergy Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 NYC's team vs. the red white and blue would garner national attention. It gives the nation another chance to witness Tyrod and Sammy...soon to be one of the most prolific QB/WR tandems in the last 20 years. The D line now has a chip on their shoulder, going against the Jests O-line, we can show domination. The matchup between Gilmore and Mashall will keep audiences glued to their tv's. Warm weather in Buffalo means no snowballs thrown at refs or idiots bare chested when it's 3 degrees out. It really is a perfect game to flex.

Romo-less Cowboys versus the 6-8 golf bound Bills is one of the most intriguing games of the season? That's the game you want to move to the national audience???

berndogg Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Mario Williams vs himself. Rex and company vs headset technology. Tyrod vs a 4 quarter game. So many intriguing match ups. The main reason I could see this happening is because of Kellen Moore's first start. He's a big draw in the Idaho market from his college days. If you're getting the majority of fans watching from both Idaho and Buffalo (I believe the #1 and and #2 media markets in the country), the advertisers are going to be lining up.

Heitz Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 BuffaloBills.com does have a splash page for NFL Ticket Exchange calling the game a "Hot Matchup"! Not that they explain why there are so many tickets on the secondary market if this matchup is so hot. Maybe they meant "hot" like a burn barrel or tire fire...

BringBackFergy Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 By flexed did you mean taken off TV altogether? Maybe. You admit, do you not, that the juxtaposition of Garret v Rex (old school vs young guy looking to keep his job) would draw in the generational Cowboys fans vs the new Bills fans in the Topeka Kansas market??

BringBackFergy Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm thinking Al Michaels and crew are going into their production meeting tonight and demanding they flex over to Buffalo. I just have that feeling. His "Do you believe in miracles?" shtick is a perfect match with the red, white and blue of the Bills. All the requirements of a Christmas weekend "Americana" game are met.

HT02 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 You make great point, they should flex it BUT they should broadcast it on all of the networks that have a contract to air NFL games, CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN and the NFL Network. Sort of like a presidential address to the nation. Maybe flex all of the 4pm games to 1pm this way we could have a 4 hour pre-game show like they do for the Super Bowl. This way they could examine each of the angles you identified.

JoeF Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think they should move it to Saturday night and put it up against the Lumber Liquidators Wood Bowl Game which features teams from two schools without NCAA sanctioned football teams in a game of two hand touch.

I hope you are just trying to be funny, and I sincerely hope your professor was merely joking with you..... "The standard idiom is for all intents and purposes, not for all intensive purposes,"......"The cause of the confusion is rooted in this phonetic similarity. For all intensive purposes is what is known as an eggcorn, a label invented in the early 2000s by linguist Geoffrey Pullum to describe words or phrases that are misheard and consequently reform into a new word or phrase." http://blog.dictionary.com/for-all-intents-and-purposes-for-all-intensive-purposes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loyal we are How this team has been able to sell crappy fb for over 16 years. Glad I could amuse you BUT I challenge you to find a more intriguing matchup this Sunday that should be flexed more than Bills Cowboys. Maybe you haven't considered how the warm weather climate in Buffalo this winter is more suitable for Dallas (a warm weather team) and Thyroid and Sammy played in warm weather colleges, lends itself well to a barnburner of a game that would garner considerable market share. Call it "Sunday Night Lights" ....Dallas, VT, Clemson (nation's top ranked program)....not to mention pizza logs and photos of Niagara Falls, and the Bills Cowboys trumps any of the other games on Sunday.
