Well, unless the Bills are blowing them out, of course. Only downside is that I have to listen to Aikman and Buck 🙄 Probably not - they'll likely do the ABC game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn it was a team from the AFC West, Chargers or Raiders stick in my mind. ESPN has had some dog poo match ups the last couple of years. They have to like Buffalo vs Tenn early. Concurrent MNF games is a bit of a head scratcher They announced the 1st Amazon Prime game at the draft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 2 hours ago, eball said: I hear several people saying this and my question is...why? The Bills are a SB contender with an exciting team. They will be on prime time at least 5-6 times. In past years we've seen teams on primetime in successive weeks, plus there is an 11-day gap between these two games. Honestly hope this is the case. Opening on TNF would be great since I have to be away that weekend, plus we’d get that nice mini-bye right before that big game at home.

NFL should be pushing for as little overlap as possible across all of their scheduling. Disagree. The NFL is likely thinking that the casual fan will be flipping between games...providing their advertisers with two channels of eyes during primetime. It's no different than Sunday afternoons...the diehards of each team stay on their game, but everyone else is channel surfing. Also, going back to your comment in the other (now closed) thread about why Bills/Rams won't be W1, I think the email and app notice from the Bills does not suggest what you say it suggests. it is a general statement about "all home openers" being announced at 6 p.m. on Thursday in advance of the entire schedule. Nothing hints or implies that the MNF game isn't the Bills home opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Should be a good early season litmus test for both teams and glad we finally have them back in Buffalo. Just like with the Chiefs, the Titans are quietly one of the Bills biggest conference rivals given that we've pretty much played them every season since 2018. Titans have had the Bills number the last few years though so hopefully that can change now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Titans were ravaged by injuries the last two times we played them and we still lost. In fact they had like half their team on the Covid list in 2020 when we had the worst game of that season by far. Still think they are just a bad match up overall for the Bills similar to the Colts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve lost to TN the last two years in a row and after last season’s embarrassing lost against the JAG’s, I don’t take anytime for granted. Bill’s expectations are thru the roof, but one thing is certain, they better be ready to play EACH and EVERY week. The lost to TN and the Jags cost them the #1 seed last year. Buffalo needs to score TD’s early and take away their running game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they go up on you by 10 early and can run on you all day and you can't stop them to get the ball back. I think you'd almost rather get in a shootout where the other team is scoring 42, but in less than five minutes a drive. Scoring 7 points on a 12 min drive and getting one stop to give up 0 is the same as scoring 14 pts on two six minute drives, but giving up 7. I have a feeling the bills defense will become very aggressive this season and play a wide 9 style like Schwartz did... they just have the offense to pull that strategy off now.

BobbyC81 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 8 hours ago, Just Jack said: That was my thought also. I can't see them having the same team in a prime time game two weeks in a row. But could this also be the home opener? Meaning the Bills will be on the road somewhere else in week 1? There have been many instances in recent seasons where a team plays on Sunday or Monday night and then plays on the other Primetime game the following week.
