Bills fan since 87 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 What's the best scenario for you? I've been sitting on home playoff tickets for a couple weeks. I absolutley dread that Monday night playoff game. It would interfere with work just as Im taking on a new role. Id have to leave work early and drive back to Roch that night with a 7am meeting the next day. Give me 1pm on sunday or 4pm on saturday! 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 the 4pm is the most fun for me in terms of viewing. i can treat it like more of an event/party when it's on a saturday evening. like you mentioned, sunday at 1 would be my next choice. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'm expecting my daughter to fly in from Wisconsin with her boyfriend and my wife and son to come in from California. It kind of sucks that I can't plan their trips until next Sunday night (I believe they announce the times as soon as the last game ends?). But, ultimately, either of the Saturday times would be my first choice and absolutely NOT Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterStrategist Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I doubt they put anything but a 4-5 matchup on MNF, since that will delay knowing who will be playing who/where in Round 2. Us and Dallas are currently the 4 seeds. With Dallas flexed to Sat this week, not sure if the NFL is going to give them essentially 2 extra rest days...so I do think if it ends up as the current seeding aligns, then we will play on MNF. I'm rooting for anytime on Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its Saturday at 4. If they win then you can sit back and relax while watching the other games being played. Of course if they lose well then different story.

No_Matter_What Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 As a fan from Europe, I prefer either first game on Saturday or one of first two games on Sunday. The other games (all 8.15pm ET) are at horrible local time (2.15am). Sunday 1pm game is probably the best, followed by Sunday 4pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas may be a bit draw but if it's a rematch with the Cardinals...they don't typically draw views. Will all depend on the matchups. They may want Mahomes in that spot no matter what though.

Buffalo football, in January, on a Monday night against their division foes. Cold, blustery "football weather". Gives them the chance to relive the hurricane game. Toss reflections of John Madden and how much he would have loved to be there calling that one. They can tie in Brady and how we have emerged from his shadow. Lots of story there. The NFL doesn't care about the temperatures and fans sitting there. They know for playoff football it will be packed. They make their money.

aristocrat Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The monday night game would be down to us and new englad, or cowboys zona if things play out as it see it.

Lv-Bills Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I think it's most likely Monday Night for the following reason. IF the winner of the AFC East ends up #4, it makes sense that the worst division winner would get the game that would give them the least amount of rest going in to the next round. Any time you set up a bracket, you do so assuming the seeding of the bracket holds. That assumption would mean that the #4 seed would move on and play #1 in Round 2. One could say that would continue to be a reward for the #1 seed in the next round, which probably deserves it by winning the AFC in the regular season. In this case the #1 seed benefits even more for winning the the AFC's #1 seed, while the #4 seed gets the least amount of "help" (In this case shorter rest) needed to win the Round 2 game. Then again, with the NFL you throw any kind of logic out the window for the purpose of making money, so who knows!

msw2112 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 While it may not favor the Bills, I agree that the lowest seed should get the least favorable time slot (in terms of time off before the next round). If the Bills are the lowest of the host game seeds, that logic would give them Monday night. I hope that's not the case. My personal preference would be the late game on Saturday. It makes it more of an event. I can't go too crazy on a Monday night, as there is work for me and school for the kids on Tuesday morning. Even for Sunday games, it is hard to enjoy myself too much, as there is work/school on Monday to prepare for. The early game on Saturday isn't good because it kills the whole day. For me, Saturday morning & afternoon is usually spent doing chores/shopping/exercise/family commitements/etc. Saturday night? All bets are off, beers are popped, and the most fun can be had.

Greg S Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Didn't they do a triple header last year? Why not do that for Saturday? Have a 1:00 game, then 4:30, and 8:20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
