Warren Zevon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2019/REG16 In week 16, three of five possible match ups currently listed as TBD will be scheduled for Saturday on NFL Network: Houston at Tampa Bay, Buffalo at New England, Detroit at Denver, Oakland at LA Chargers, and San Francisco at LA Rams. Start times and Saturday games for week 16 will be announced no later than following week 10, with the non-Saturday games to be played on Sunday. The TBD games are... Detroit @ Denver Oakland @ LA Chargers Buffalo @ New England LA Rams @ San Francisco Houston @ Tampa My guess is the games in New England, San Fran, and Tampa are on Saturday.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I bet Rams/49ers will be the night game. It'll probably be: BUF @ NE - early OAK @ LAC - mid-day because a West Coast game wouldn't be the early one LAR @ SF - late Edited November 5, 2019 by Giuseppe Tognarelli 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The only problem is when we're on national TV, we usually bomb. Wouldn't it be nice to beat the Pats while everyone's watching for a change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also see them screwing it up and squeezing the Broncos in because of the Stadium issue for the Chargers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter King actually speculated that SF/LA would be flexed to Sunday night to replace the Bears Chiefs given Chicago's struggles and BUF/NE would be the Saturday night game given the power of NE's name and the Bills most likely be relevant enough to make the game matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmasThoman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Looking at last year they had 2 games on each Saturday: week 15 and 16. The "early" games were each at 4:30, east coast time, and the late (primetime) game at 8:20. I have read that they are flexing 3 games into Saturday this year, but I wonder if they will. There are only 2 matchups that matter: Buf/NE, and LA/SF. A few thoughts: 1. if they truly do flex 3 games, one of them is going to be a stinker, with at best only 1 team in the game still competing for a playoff spot. 2. New England is a huge draw for the league, maybe their marque team. I would bet it's more likely they get the 8 slot as they could potentially be playing for the division crown. 3. Are people here really upset with this? Possibly competing for the division title at best, a wildcard birth at worst, on a freaking Saturday night, under the lights, in December? Between the fans that are nitpicking the 6-2 start and thinking we're awful, and now people saying they would prefer not to play these nationally televised games, I'm beginning to wonder why, exactly, you guys are Bills fans...do you get any joy whatsoever from this HOBBY? I'm already thinking of the friends I'll have over, the food we'll cook, the drinks we'll serve, and the great time me and my family will have with our friends watching a great Bills game. But... I guess it's more "realistic" to just admit this team is bad and hope they get ignored by the national broadcasters and slotted into the Sunday 1pm slot so they can go 7-9 with dignity. That's a much better outcome to hope for. It fills my heart with warmth and joy to picture my holidays without the Bills having the prospects of a great season, as opposed to them being a championship contender on a run which I could enjoy with friends and family, thanks for the realism guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I've never seen a bunch of fans who want their team to be irrelevant so badly Please no night games! Please no spotlight on our team! It is kind of incredible how seldom the Bills are on at night... I feel like the Raiders are on primetime once a month no matter what The pointless Chargers team with 3 fans is on at night just as often... Bad news: the Super Bowl is at night.... Gonna have to sleep in til 6 am and have some coffee after the afternoon nap to catch that one!

Many on the board who don’t care for night games ( Sunday and Monday in particular) don’t like them because they work the next morning. A home night game is even worse for this group if they wish to attend. Most Bills fans are aware of the team’s lackluster history in night games , and have some epic beat downs and meltdowns ingrained in their memory. Couple that with the ridiculous domination of the Bills by New England for the last two decades, and you see why a primetime game vs the Pats doesn’t sound too appetizing.

TheFunPolice Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The whole thing is such an irony... What is the national view of Bills fans? Bills mafia... Jumping through tables... Going nuts at tailgates... The scene looks like an out of control spring break party... If you read these boards it sounds like we need to be safely tucked into our beds by 8pm with some warm milk in our tummies, so we can't handle a night game Bills Mafia is too sleepy to stay up so late.... All 3 Chargers fans stayed up last Thursday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
