More than 2 weeks before the schedules released 🤔


Like I said, take it for what it’s worth…a rumor at this point since it can’t be verified yet.  
 

But he works in the sports marketing department at the network and it was his boss that gave them the heads up.

Thanks. I think a lot of us were starting to feel that the Thanksgiving game at Detroit was a real possibility.

No problem, just sharing what he told me with y’all.  
 

And yeah I had a feeling we were gonna be a Thanksgiving game again this year when I saw Detroit on the opponents list too.  So nothing super ground breaking here by any means.

I hope it’s true. We def have some of the highest rated Turkey day games in awhile so it makes sense. Thanksgiving Bills!

 

Oh and we will get to show off as the Lions have nothing for us.

Well, as I am in charge of the Thanksgiving feast, it will probably mean that the turkey will be served already on Wednesday. Last year we had to do the same as our son who is playing in the Longhorn Band had to be back in Austin on Thursday.

Either early game is ok. No tryptophan induced sedation for the noon game

 

 

Well the good news either way is that the tryptophan thing is a myth.  Its levels in turkey are too low to have that effect.  It's the 14 pounds of protein and carbs you ingest that shut you down.

Well in his defense the schedule has probably been set for a while now 

 

If normal service is taking place it hasn't. Goodell normally signs the final version off 48 hours before the announcement. 

 

Now clearly some of the set piece games like season opener, thanksgiving day, christmas week will be settled a bit sooner but generally the finalisation of the schedule goes to the wire.

Did you get this information from a source deep in the media organization?

I am generally a proponent of Bills games on Sundays at 1:00 PM. I like the routine. I know some people love the excitement of prime time and I get that, but I like my routines.

 

HOWEVER, somehow we became the home to Thanksgiving a couple decades ago.  Family and friends, a real houseful! Usually a couple dozen or so. As much as I like my routines, I absolutely LOVE a house full of family and friends while I’m beginning with mimosas, moving on from there and celebrating a Bills victory! It makes for a VERY special holiday!

So…..my lovely bride who you met at the opener just said “so, if true, what you’re saying is Thanksgiving won’t happen before 4:00 PM.” Yep, that’s pretty much it! Heavy on hors’devours!   I just hope I’m in a good mood when we sit down to eat!

Maybe they will have a Ralph Wilson day.

This has been a rumor I’ve seen in multiple places now. Won’t be surprised if it is true.

Short week, against the lions, easy w and long rest for following week. Thank you nfl 

Don’t assume wins.  How many said that about Jacksonville last year?  Lions play hard.  If Bills play their best they win.  But we’ve seen they aren’t beyond a bad loss.

3 Xmas games now.  Bills may be playing Xmas.  I will enjoy a Detriot beatdown, but would bank on Xmas primetime game

I think this will happen too.  On ESPN Radio yesterday they were quoting some NFL official who was explaining that there will be 3 games on Xmas this year.  The NFL guy happened to be doing so on WGR.  Seems like an interesting radio station to go on to talk the xmas games.

 

Related to other comments.... I like Sunday at 1pm.  Mix in a couple primetime/holiday games.  If we end up with upwards of 5 or 6 primetime games it will be weird.  

 

I always go to the home opener.  Really hoping that is a 1pm.  However, I wouldn't be surprised if we were Sunday or Monday night.
