PromoTheRobot Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Big rush is on to get the Bills in primetime. Don't forget national Saturday 4pm have the following week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Everybody annoyed with no primetime games. Then maybe we get 3 national tv games in 4 weeks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hm I think that will be a pretty boring game. I can see why the NFL would do that but Duck Hodges doesn't belong in primetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I just texted my buddy from the Steelers and he said that it is most likely happening. Stay tuned... 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Those big ratings on Turkey day exposed a lot of people to the Bills and they liked what they saw! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I actually would prefer just a 1 PM (noon my time). I hate waking up on Sundays and having to wait to watch the Bills. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it’s because people don’t care about those teams. Pittsburgh is always a draw and we are proving to be one as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Don't do this please. It is 2.20am here in Central Europe. I love my Bills in standard time they play every week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Would surprise me CBS wouldn't be upset as they'd have three late games then without having the doubleheader game as you're moving @ San Diego to a day game i.e. 4:05 I don't really like it with a Saturday afternoon game the following week.

The Packers are by far the smallest market and a big draw. The Steelers are in a small market and a massive draw. The Bills just drew the highest regular season ratings in 3 years. I know football is still new to Pats fans but you have some learning to do. 6 6 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Market size isn’t the deciding factor, market saturation or the % of the market that watches/attends games is what matters. LA is the largest market, and can’t sell out or get local engagement from the market. Green Bay, Pittsburg, and Buffalo are three of the smallest markets And would never get prime time games if the networks/NFL based their scheduling on market size. 1 minute ago, Kirby Jackson said: Market size is irrelevant in the NFL.

Also if pitt was playing dallas that would be flexed, i just dont see buffalo being a big enough draw to flex the game to sunday night. Nbc does have a say in who gets flexed.

Again, they just played the highest rated regular season game in 3 seasons!! You’ve got to keep up if you want to enter the debate. The Bills have traditionally been a very big draw when they’ve played on national TV.

If marketing people are doing their job, the market size equals the draw. In other words market size should be population likely to watch the game, or target audience...not number of bodies living in the region. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
