blitzboy54 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) So I just looked up the local CBS broadcast schedule for this week and guess what? This is basically a NE double header. There is no conflict with the Jets or Giants and traditionally they play the Bills. This is ridiculous and if anyone is up to it I would appreciate a station email to perhaps try and change their minds. The email addresses I sent mine to were the following. Thank You 'sports@wrgb.com'; 'feedback@wrgb.com' Edited September 29, 2020 by blitzboy54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I am glad I got the ticket this year, what a bummer. I was surprised last week when we didn't beat out Giants v. 49ers given the injuries and how bad the Giants are. Cam/BB vs. Mahomes/Reid at least seems like it should be a great game. I will have Buffalo up on the projector in the backyard though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I'm pretty confident this will change to the Bills game. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 What is the website you guys post the maps each week? I’m asking as I can’t find out, but suspect they will air on CBS down here in FL the Pats/Chiefs, vs. the Bills Raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I found it on the cbs app. It’s NE so I guess I’m going to Wildwings again. Sucks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to CBS Tampa and found it. We definitely have the Pats which I guess I understand, but not sure when they can start flexing games to 8pm as this one seemed like it would get a solid national audience with teams close to one each Coast. Nationally, I can see why CBS would go with their game over ours. If we win this one, we should get more of a national draw even at 4 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 The last time I looked before today the guide on my TV (Verizon FIOS) showed the Bills game. I just checked & it now says KC-NE. Damn Mahomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It’s total BS. There’s no reason every game can’t be available at least on a PPV basis if it’s not covered in your local market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 A little lobbying never hurts. The Bills backers in and around Boston called Fox 25 to get the Bills/Rams on instead of ATL/CHI or Giants/49ers. If they get enough calls and emails they might switch to the Bills.

Seriously, the Giants trained here for years & the stadium is the closest to Albany in the entire NFL. It makes perfect sense that people here would be fans of NY teams. Before the virus I would go to Yankee Stadium every year. We have bus trips to a lot of NY teams from Albany. We're also not that far from Boston, Mass. Buffalo is further away than NY, NJ, Boston, etc. The only reason the Bills are popular here is because a lot of us lived in Buffalo prior to coming to Albany.

Even at sporting goods stores like *****, they are loaded with Giants, Jets, Pats gear, and have zero Bills gear. I even have a couple Cowboys flags in my neighborhood. It’s sort of wild. Just sort of thinking about it while I put it in writing. Feels like an untapped market for the Bills. SJF has been awesome for us, but it might make some sense to move camp up to the capital region. U Albany, Skidmore, whatever. The region has a million + people. Not sure I love the idea, but it’s not the worst one I have ever come up with.

I hope once KC gets ahead everyone turns the game off & switches to the Giants game & WRGB looks at the ratings and never chooses NE over the Bills again. Edit: WGR is talking about the game being postponed. I hope it happens because if it does, we get the Bills game. From a purely selfish view I say postpone, postpone, postpone! Double Edit: Schefter is saying the Pats game is getting postponed. WGR is talking like it's a done deal that we'll be the CBS national game at 4:25. NFL Network now saying game postponed until at least Monday or Tuesday Nobody messes with the Buffalo Bills being show on TV in Albany. Edited October 3, 2020 by Albany,n.y.

Albany,n.y. Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 With the postponement of the Patriots-Chiefs game Sunday because of positive coronavirus tests on both teams, the NFL has moved the Bears-Colts game from 1 to 4:25 p.m. Sunday to give CBS a second doubleheader game. The postponement will enable Capital Region viewers to see Bills-Raiders at 4:25 p.m. The game initially was trumped by Patriots-Chiefs. Some markets will get Bears-Colts, but those will be mostly in the Midwest. https://blog.timesunion.com/sportsmedia/patriots-chiefs-postponement-puts-bills-raiders-on-local-tv-as-nfl-juggles-schedule/19817/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
