whatdrought Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 No international games is a smart move by the league. I’m sure Khan hates it as it slows his move to London, but it’s a good step to show they are taking the situation seriously. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least in my mind. Whenever the Bills are playing, it's always 'prime time' in my household. * - Does not include playoffs and Super Bowl. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 My prediction is 2 primetime games for the Bills. Chiefs at Bills on SNF. Mahomes and Allen. Chiefs O vs the Bills D. Old AFL rivalry. The second is Bills at Jets on MNF or TNF. Darnold and Allen. Rivalry game. If the Bills get more primetime games it will be because they got flexed into them as the season goes on.

With all the west coast games they have this year, I think they also will have a couple more 4:25 double header games too ( as opposed to a 4:05 regional west coast game) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For us people from Buffalo, but living somewhere else it’s great not necessarily the night games as I have to get up at 5 am, so tough, but love we’ll have quite a few 4 pm games, and more likely to be on TV, vs. having to go to a bills bar, or get the ticket.

wagon127 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yeah, i think we get 2 prime time games, maybe another shot at a week 16 nfl network flex. And a couple 4:25 double header games. Im hoping for at least 1 4:25 home game this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we play NFC west first 4 games?! Wth... That's the 'contingency schedule'. The out of conference games would be front loaded in the event that the schedule needs to be contracted for a later calendar start. OOC games would be the first to be eliminated because conference games would be more important for playoff tiebreakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 One of the NFL scheduling guys was on WGR a couple weeks ago and said the Bills were the #1 most requested team for prime time games by the tv stations. They looked at the ratings for the Thanksgiving and Pats Saturday night games and see the Bills as the hottest ticket. That said, I personally am not a fan of getting the Prime Time games since I'm an old fogey. I'll take 16 games at 1pm Sunday please. But I expect the Bills to get at least 3 Prime Time games. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I am considered on this board a cheerleader for the International Series Games.... I think that is a slight mischaracterisation... but I do officiously correct the mistruths spoken about them by people who frankly just don't like them and then try and construct a rationale to support it. That said, there should definitely not be any international series games in 2020 or maybe even in 2021 depending on how long life takes to return to a proper normal. If 2021 is the first post Covid season with fans in the stands (it could well be) then my view would be it remains unwise to have international series games until that is proven not to be a risk. 43 minutes ago, eball said: That would be a disappointment. I'm predicting 3-4. Same. I think: Chiefs @ Bills is a SNF Bills @ 49ers is either a TNF or a MNF Then I reckon we have 1 divisional game televised (probably v Jets - think Allen v Darnold is the best story) plus maybe one of Seattle, Pittsburgh or the Rams. Bills are a good team, ascending players, were a big thanksgiving draw and have an attractive looking schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im used to being disapponted when it comes to the bills on the primetime schedule. I feel the bills will at the very least have games that have an easy chance to be flexed out of the slot, in case they dont perform well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and checked my texts from that day, and they do mention being the top requested team. Either way, I disagree that the Cowboys and Pats were the draws. We had very high ratings for the Steelers game too. The common factor across all the highest rated regular season games last year was the Bills. It may have been people wanting to see how the young, upstart Bills do against those teams, but the Bills were the draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
