Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 4 hours ago, Lurker said: 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... Those 3 west coast teams might fill the prime time games for buffalo. One Thursday night, one Monday night. Solves the game start issue with west coast teams and avoids multiple 4pm home starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How do you know that for sure? They have 3 Thanksgiving games now. Why wouldn't they put the Bills in that game for Thanksgiving? I know, I know, it's doubtful, but not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care for that based on our past performance in those games (which will likely be on the road)... Our 2 primetime games this year were basically Dallas on Thanksgiving and Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Both on the road.

eball Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm sure somebody has the stats regarding how many primetime games teams who made the playoffs the previous year usually get. I'm too lazy to do it but I think you start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Well, now that the Bills are on the map, they’ll probably get a couple. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I love 1 pm games. It’s early enough you can sandwhich the game between lunch and dinner with the family, and for those like me who get up at 5 am, I hate night games. The only advantage is they are nationally televised. 4 pm games are fine to me, but that’s just one man’s opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as the years go by you can move to Honolulu where they kick off at 7:00am. You’ll be in bed by 8:00pm...and have an awesome tan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 They played some really good prime time games this year. Probably some of the best of the season. And good or bad, Allen definitely isn’t boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Sunday 1:00 pm games are vastly superior, better start time, better end time, higher fun ratio cause it’s easier to get up and go to work the next day with all the drinking and eating staring earlier the day before. Even as a retired individual it works better. Prime time and night games are B/S no matter how you slice it. Anyone who disagrees with me is admitting to being wrong just by piping up.

ALLEN1QB Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I hope the first one is Week 1 against the Patriots in Buffalo without Brady so we can start their year off right . Give them a taste of what their future holds for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlonce Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) It’s about ratings. Our three prime time games were highly rated. Therefore we get more prime time games. The NFL needs to learn a lesson. People are very tired of seeing the same teams play on prime time. Edited January 23, 2020 by dlonce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering correctly, the Pats game last season and Thursday night in 16 are the only 2 recent home primetime games we've had Best chance for a home game is against Kansas City, as Mahomes is replacing TB as the face of the league. If the Chargers sign Brady, that's another possibility. Seattle with Russell Wilson would be the next most likely. If both teams are good and Darnold is playing really well, the Jets are a possibility. There really isn't a lot of star power on the home schedule other than that.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I don’t care for any games but the early Sunday window. That’s mostly because I’m turning into an old curmudgeon. It fits my routine. I get up at 8, go to the gym at 8:15, put the pre-game show on, come home at 9:15, make breakfast until 9:45, sit in the jacuzzi until 10:15, shower and get ready until 10:45, get to the bar at 11:05, game starts at 12. That’s what I like. Don’t start sprinkling in 3 o’clock, 7 o’clock, Monday, Thursday, none of that nonsense!!

It was the highest rated game of the week, but TNF had a low outing (Jets-Ravens blowout). That said, Bills should absolutely get some scheduled primetime games this year.
