Nuts.   Don't care for that based on our past performance in those games (which will likely be on the road)...

 

Which past prime time games did you like the least; the Thanksgiving Game vs. Dallas or the flexed Saturday game vs. Pittsburgh?

Doesn't take guts to make this prediction. The Bills are an up and coming team with a great defense, an exciting QB, and most important to prime time, some big personalities. 

 

They'll get a Thursday game like 90% of the league does.

 

They'll get a Sunday night game.

 

They'll get a Monday night game.

 

I'd be more surprised if the above did not happen.

Bold prediction: 2 prime time and at least 2  four o’clocks.

 

 

Well, since we have road games at SF, Arizona, Denver and Vegas, 4:00 pm would be a shoe in.   

 

Three of the home games (Rams, Chargers and Seahawks) might get flexed to 4:00, although the Pegula's--like Ralph--are pretty insistent on 1:00 kickoffs...

If in-game ratings mean anything, then all the geniuses over at the networks would want to see the Bills in primetime.

 

For me, SELFISHLY, I would want every game at 1pm on Sunday's. but they will, at worst, get four 4pm starts with season. 

 

Unfortunately though, we will see the Bills playing a Thursday night game this year that isn't Thanksgiving Day.

If I’m a tv exec I would push for that Seahawks game to hit prime time, especially if Beane goes and signs Clowney. Just too many talking points with both teams going to the playoffs as road teams the previous season, Metcalf vs Tre White, etc.

i dont wanna play the seahawks on the road in primtime. but i like the idea of being in primetime so lets build on what we have


the Seahacks were 4-4 at home this season 

the Bills were 6-2* on the road

 

* week 17 scrimmage game

 

the problem is west coast prime time is 11 PM eastern. 

so that’s not prime time

true... but that’s kinda irrelevant since the virtual-scrimmage against the Jests was at home.

I'm holding strong with my prediction of two prime time games: Thursday night against the Jets, Monday night against the Raiders in Vegas.

If the Bills DO get three prime time games, I bet that it's a Thursday and two Mondays. Not sure that I buy into the idea of them being a Sunday Night Football worthy team just yet.

The schedule makers are in the very beginning stages of creating the '20-'21 schedule so I think this "rumor" is more just an educated guess.  The Bills will likely have 2 perhaps 3 primetime games based on their record last year & the opponents they face next year, but there is no way that the schedule is anywhere near close to being completed so I'd say this "Rumor" is total BS

But there are no games that begin at 11 PM ET. Prime time games on the west coast begin at 5 or 5:30 PT and 8 or 8:30 ET.
