Week 6: Chiefs at Bills (+5): Monday 5pm on Fox

[wiseman3]

Well, looks like my kickball team will be forfeiting our playoff game on Monday. Yet another team being impacted by the Titans being reckless..

A 5PM weekday game is the worst NFL game time I have ever seen. Chiefs and Bills; two 5-0 teams. A regular season ratings monster potential game. And you pick a time slot that alienates the entire west coast, mountain time zone, central time zone and even day shift workers on the east coast. What brilliant decision was this.

Makes no sense... Patriots MNF was at 7

Geez... This 2020.... I live on the west coast. The most anticipated Bills game of the season will take place on a weekday at 2pm my time.

C’mon ! You know how crazy Bills fans get with night games.  The NFL is just trying to keep people from hurting themselves jumping off their roofs into flaming tables. Probably Allstate, State Farm and other insurance companies are behind this.

I mean, it works great for me, but that's because my work schedule is stupid. 5 pm EST is 4 pm CST, which makes it terrible for the Chiefs fans.

 

I can't believe the NFL would put it on this time, but not just say "screw it, the Titans brought this upon themselves"

I wonder if ESPN/Disney decided to raise a stink and protest having a rescheduled game overlapping their MNF game.

[McGahee]

So I take it this mean they're gonna make the Titans play us with no prep time? We better ROLL them. Anything less would be pathetic. Big advantage for us.

Because the game is at 5hpm on a Monday afternoon, tv ratings nationwide will be extremely low. Then they will use the numbers to not showcase the Bills in the future in primetime because they will say that they don't attract enough viewers.

You know this is nonsense, right? What makes you think the NFL and the networks' don't understand the impact air times (and other factors) have on ratings?

 

[Steptide]

Kind of annoyed the Monday game starts at 5

I can’t agree with that. Imagine the two most popular teams in the league playing in that 5pm EDT Monday slot. Now imagine the Bills vs anyone in the prime time 8pm slot. The Bills game would blow away the earlier game in the ratings. Hell, reruns of Gilligans Island in the prime time slot would blow away a 5pm EDT football game.

What makes him think that? A persecution complex, haha.

[Scott7975]

5pm timeslot sucks, I agree.  Keep in mind that its not just the NFL but the networks broadcasting the games play a part of that decision.

[TBBills]

This is actually perfect for me, I have work at 4am on Tuesday and never get to see Monday night games.

No it won’t.  If the Bills become winners, they will get prime time games period.  Especially if Allen continues playing at an MVP level.

With the raiders beating the chiefs.... I don’t like it cause the Chiefs are the NFLs darlings right now and are they gonna let them loose 2 in a row....

 

Call me a conspiracy theorist.... but I see some bad calls by the refs next week.
