msw2112 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Not sure how they'll do it. I believe there is an additional game this year, but there is also Monday night in the mix too. Under that "triple header" scheme, I would love to see 8:20 on Saturday night. That's 6:20 where I live, which makes for a very enjoyable Saturday evening. That said, it might be a bit cold that late for my Buffalo brethren and sistren out at the stadium (many of whom are on this board). EDIT: Just found this online. Looks like 2 games on Saturday and the triple header on Sunday Wild-card rounds: Jan. 15-17, 2022 Date Matchup Time (ET) TV Saturday, January 15 AFC/NFC 4:35 PM TBD Saturday, January 15 AFC/NFC 8:15 PM TBD Sunday, January 16 AFC/NFC 1:05 PM TBD Sunday, January 16 AFC/NFC 4:40 PM TBD Sunday, January 16 AFC/NFC 8:15 PM TBD Monday, January 17 AFC/NFC 8:15 PM ESPN Based on this, my top choice would remain Saturday at 8:15 PM, followed by Sunday at 4:40 PM.

Have a 1:00 game, then 4:30, and 8:20.

Joe Ferguson Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I hope Bills lose to the Jets. I'm worried sick how the Bills play at home. Josh Allen and the team are absolute dog turds when they play at home. But will be great when they're on the road. Bills are road warriors. Rooting for #6 or #7 seed for the Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, MasterStrategist said: 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. Yes I think it's the most fair thing to do by the NFL, actually. And I don't really think they could justify not doing that. Put the 4-5 matchup on Monday Night. It rewards the "higher" seeded division winners (or the teams that beat them) with more rest. I hope Buffalo moves up from the 4 seed so we don't have to worry about that, though. For me, any of the timeslots other than the early Sunday window, simply because 1 PM EST is 8 AM Hawaiian time.

Sunday at 1pm next, then Sunday at 4pm and Monday being least desired. Yep! On Sat. ,you can be all amped up and slowly(post game) regain your sanity until work on Monday. With each advance of scheduled kick-off, the time you have to "normalize" is reduced, until, by Tuesday, you're worthless for the next few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 4 hours ago, dave mcbride said: I can't imagine they'll slot Buffalo in a Monday night slot in the middle of January. The temp that night is supposed to be 17 degrees and moderately windy. That's just cruel to everyone involved. I don't think this even figures into game time playoff decisions by the NFL. I've seen too many extremely cold playoff night games in places like Green Bay and Chicago to think otherwise.

ManCrushPassRush Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) The 4pm games are NFC games. The Sunday 1:05 game will be AFC as well as the Saturday 8:15 in order to have an AFC on Saturday. So the two bolded are guaranteed AFC. The Sunday and Monday 8:15 will be a toss up over which conference gets it. Date Matchup Time (ET) TV Saturday, January 15 AFC 8:15 PM TBD Sunday, January 16 AFC 1:05 PM TBD Sunday, January 16 AFC/NFC 8:15 PM TBD Monday, January 17 AFC/NFC 8:15 PM ESPN Edited January 4, 2022 by ManCrushPassRush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thinking if Pats, they are a big draw, so then either Saturday late or Sunday. If not NE then maybe Monday Playing Monday leaves least prep time for following week, so if every game goes chalk the 4 seed would play the #1 the following weekend. So from that standpoint, the 4/5 game in one of the conferences on Monday makes the best sense to me from a competitive standpoint as would be fairer than say having the 2 seed play on a short week. Looks like in the NFC the 4/5 game could be Dallas V Arizona rematch. Don't think they'd want to waste Dallas on a Monday. On the other hand ESPN may ask for a big name team like Dallas.

FLFan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If it is Pats vs Bills on Monday night, which seems likely, I think it is ideal for the Bills and great entertainment. Josh has mostly been a big time night game performer, it would be an insane environment, and great fun for the fans. Suck it up OP. A real Bills fan would call in sick regardless of what is scheduled. Gotta take one for the team.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It always ends up depending on whether or not the bills win or lose. Bills win give me the 1 PM Saturday game because then you get to enjoy all the other games. But if the bills are going to lose I would rather it be the Sunday or Monday night game. Bills have gotten the 1 PM Saturday time slot two consecutive years now I believe. I think if we end up drawing the patriots I don’t see them putting us in the 1 PM Saturday slot. Anyone know if the Monday night winner could be forced to play as early as the following Saturday? That would be a huge disadvantage. But I think the NFL would have to somehow find a way to make sure the Monday night winner plays Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
