Sure would love it if the NFL let us know when and at what time this game is.  I assume we'll get the Saturday nod but what time?  That's a busy weekend for me and I would like to plan around the Bills accordingly...

This was just stated on NFL Network.

 

Week 15

Bills at Broncos 4:30pm Saturday

Panthers at Packers 8:20pm Saturday nignt

So, the Bills are playing the Broncos on the road on Saturday after playing the Steelers at home on a Sunday night?

 

Yep, sounds fair. 

 

🤮🤮🤮

I've never understood this. Does us playing 7 hours later the previous Sunday really give the broncos a big advantage?

Is there a difference if the game against the Steelers was Sunday at 1pm? It's still 6 days no matter how you look at it. No different than playing Monday night and then the following Sunday at 1pm

Same timeslot we played in last year, right? Was that the loss in New England? Or the win in Pittsburgh?

 

Loss to NE

At this point, the Bolts and the Fish are the only two 1:00 games remaining on the schedule.

 

@SF -- MNF

PIT -- SNF

@DEN -- Saturday 4:30

@NE -- MNF

 

If the Fish game determines division title or even seedings, that likely could get moved to either 4:25 or even Sunday night game.

 

Looking at the week 17 schedule, seems like the league did a bad job of guessing this year as to  which will be key matchups.  Very few games that likely will have both teams contending for playoff spots.  Well unless you count the big NFC matchups like Dallas at the Giants, winner take all for the division title.  Also a couple other NFC West games on Fox.  But of the CBS games the only likely one is Bills - Fish and maybe Pitt - Cleveland where both teams likely will be playing week 18.  Could see one of these getting moved.

We have a LOT of non-traditionally timed games coming up! 

 

When was the last time it was like this?!

 

 

As cool as it is, I really like Sundays at 1pm eastern best!  When they win these games it is awesome...when they lose them, it makes me somehow feel like I got cheated that week!

Going back to the Seahawks game and going forward, they basically don't play at the same body clock/eastern standard time clock for eight straight games, 1p/1p, 1p/4p, bye, 1p/1p, 5:15p/8:15p, 8:20p/8:20p, 2:30p/4:30p, 8:15p/8:15p, 1p/1p

Exactly, I said the same thing. It's no different than playing on a monday night and then Sunday at 1pm. It's still 6 days

The bright side is we get an extra day to prepare and heal for the NE game.

I got a lot of responses to my post.

 

Guys, I guess in the realm of this season where the Bills really got screwed over by the Titans, maybe the NFL should have given the Bills a small little break and let the game against the Broncos be on a Sunday.

 

I ain't asking for much, am I?

I think the scheduling "advantage/disadvantage" is not based on time other than bye weeks.

 

If now the NFL told the Bills, yeah we don't know if you are playing that week, and if you do, it could be Saturday, Sunday, Monday, maybe even Tuesday. if ya don't play then you might play your next opponent on Thursday or maybe Friday, or maybe Sunday, who knows.


Then that is when the scheduling becomes a disadvantage.

 

But a day separation of preparation is not a big deal.

Exactly especially since it is one day which isn't a problem. The bigger problem would be Sun/Thurs, sun/Sat is one day less which is nothing.
