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.

 

But Cleveland and Atlanta were?

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

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.

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.

The higher than usual ratings for the Cowboys, Steelers, and Texans game will likely lead to at least two Primetime games.  If I had to go with three.....

 

Bills@Jets TNF,  KC@Bills SNF, Bills@49ers MNF

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

 

Still with the BBFS?  Come on, man, it's a new era in Buffalo Bills history.

 

(see what I did there?)

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.

Keep moving west young man. Games start at 10am here in California! 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!

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. Get off my F ing lawn... yah you... 

 

Go Bills!!!

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.

If there's any truth to this, I hope 2 of them are at home. If I'm. 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.

I would put the Steelers as a possibility as well. They have a lot of national appeal and always get there share of primetime games every year no matter what there record is.

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!!

Thinking about this some more I'd almost guarantee that one of the games vs. the Pats*** will be primetime.  I also think KC, Rams, Seattle, SF, Pittsburgh, and Tennessee are possibilities.

Bills -Steelers was actually off a bit from the weekly average of SNF. 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.
