We always get the B crew unless we the only ones playing.  If its a CBS game its almost always the B crew because Romo will be at the KC game almost always.

I don’t know if I understand why these are overlapped on Monday? 7:15 and 8:30.

Is there a difference between rendered and rendeed?

I'm not actually thrilled having all these primetime games. I really do miss counting on my game being at one.

 

 

Why do people continue to say mopey stuff like this?  

 

I know some Bills fans don't follow the rest of the league and have been caught off guard by the fact that the good teams get the primetime games.........but the Bills have been a good team for several years now.

 

It's the cost of winning...........no different than saying you aren't thrilled with the Bills season lasting until late January/February because you were used to going skiing on weekends then.

Or not liking when commentators pick your team to win, when your team is good they're going to start picking it.

They usually do a MNF double header the first weekend of the year.

 

Here's the reason for the change.......new tv contracts/more money.

 

In the new ESPN/ABC contract with the league, the annual "Monday Night Football" doubleheader was expected to make its return this season with a twist. ESPN will up its slate of games from 17 to 23 and will have three games exclusively on ABC in addition to games being played on ESPN -- so there will be three weeks of "Monday Night Football" doubleheaders in 2022 and each season after. ESPN will also have the right to flex a "Monday Night Football" matchup from Week 12 through Week 18. ESPN+ will also have an exclusive game, which will be one of the international games on the calendar.

Doubleheader typically means one game immediately followed by another.  What they’re doing this year is different but I think I understand it.  ESPN is trying to dominate viewership over a 5-hour time slot while appeasing east coast fans who won’t stay up for a 10 p.m. start time.  For fans of any of the four teams playing there’s no conflict; they will watch their team’s game.  For the rest of the general NFL-watching public, they’ll watch the Bills-Oilers early, switch back and forth during the overlap, and then watch the Vikings-Eagles finish.

Quarter past midnight. Not too bad. That is probably a power through time. I managed to get 2 hours kip in and set the alarm to wake back up at 1.15am for Thursday!

That’s my usual plan of attack. An hour earlier changes things. Could have done with the Queen’s funeral being Tuesday really.

Why are their two Monday night games anyway? I know the league has had two Monday night games in the past but that is usually a week one double header. Granted last night was Wilson's return to Seattle so maybe the league wanted the spotlight for that game only but then just have one Monday night for week 2 and beyond. I can't believe Seahawks fans mostly booed Wilson considering everything he has done for that organization.

I thought the same thing at first with Russ but for all he did for the Seahawks, he was also pretty vocal about not wanting to be there for the better part of the last two years.  I can understand the fan reaction.  Don't agree with it, but can understand it.

I'm actually a fan of the 715 game start. I'm up early for work and I was so hyped last Thursday I couldn't sleep. If we repeat I have a few hours to get it out of my system.

Yeah, I like the 7:15 start. 

I can handle it ending before 11pm.  I'm often at work by 5am (beating Atlanta traffic and a few hours of no interuptions). Thursday I left work around 10:30am, took my usual mid-afternoon snooze, and then took Friday off to sleep in while visions of superbowls danced in me head.

 

So glad the west coast can enjoy the Monday night games, but other than those in which the Bills have played, I've hardly seen any Monday nighters in years. I'm usually snoring on the sofa by 9:30.

I had completely forgotten about the last game Tenn played in Buff in 2018. Allen running for his life behind the human turnstile that was Vlad Ducasse and bouncing passes off the hands of Kelvin Benjamin with his .0000000005 yards of separation from defenders....

It has always been like that for quite a few years.  I think at some point, both ABC and ESPN got contract for MNF for a few games at the beginning of the season and they were trying this simultaneous broadcast on their sister stations.

if it was a day game and expected to be really warm, I could see us going with the white jerseys.    Otherwise, yeah,  not much of a question that we’ll be in our blue jerseys with the white pants.

They have been wearing white for the home opener for a few years now. But those games were always 1:00 on a hot Sunday afternoon. Monday night in mid Sept in Buffalo there is no reason to wear the white. I do expect them to wear the throwback whites at home later in the year. They seem to do that in Oct/Nov.

Call me crazy but I think the Bills blowout the Titans. They just don’t have the team anymore to play ancient football like they want to. Woods was held to one catch by the Giants. 

[frostbitmic]

For the most part the Titans are one dimensional, stop Henry and your chances of winning are really good. We added three new DTs who are pretty good at doing just that.

Pretty sure this is the first time they've ever done overlapping games. Used to be one early and then west coast game late after the first one. 

 

Overlapping them is pretty stupid.

Especially this week. That Vikings-Eagles game is a really good game. Too bad us Bills fans will only see the 2nd half.

The rest of America might only see the 1st half of the Bills game due to a blow out....switch it to a more interesting game.

Did someone say render?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

3 keys to the game;

 

1.  As usual, it all comes down to containing Derrick Henry.  The Titans had 46 offensive snaps vs the Giants last week and 21 of them were runs to Henry and he had one target in the passing game.   47.8% of the entire Titans' offense vs the Giants was Henry.  There were only five runs to someone other than Henry last week.

 

2.  This relates to point 1 above, the Bills' offense needs to get off to a fast start and put points on the board and force the ball out of Henry's hands and into Tannehill's.  I don't think Tannehill can go toe to toe with Josh in a shoot out.  That offense is not going to score more than 30 points against our defense.  The Titans have to be hoping to keep Henry on the field chewing up clock and Allen sitting on the bench.  The Bills can't let that happen.

 

3.  The Titans' defense had 5 sacks and 8 QB hits on Daniel Jones last week.  I think that our O-Line is more capable than the Giants, but keeping Josh upright is going to be vital to keep drives alive and put points on the board.
