Billznut Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The week 18 Sunday night game will almost assuredly be Ravens/Bengals to determine the AFC North champ. And that also works cause Pitt/Cle play that final day and they are both out of playoff contention so it won’t be unfair to any AFC North team to have Ravens/Bengals be the final game.

Xwnyer Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Don’t want to be flexed to Saturday last weekend be coming off Monday night game short week already. Likely ends up a 4pm Sunday game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yep. Only two Sundays they will play is the AFCCG and Super Bowl. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If the Bills can lock up the 1 seed with a win week 18 there is no way they flex the Bills to Saturday. If a win week 18 keeps them alive for the 1 seed flexing to Saturday is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Bill Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 2 hours ago, Big Turk said: I feel this has probably been the wildest schedule the Bills have had in a long time in terms of playing in their normal 1pm timeslot. We may have played our last Sunday 1pm game of the year against the Jets last week. We play Miami and the Bears on back to back Saturdays, then the Bengals on Monday Night. Patriot game is a TBD game, but seeing as it might be to determine playoff seedings and/or Patriots making the playoffs and the Bills are national media darlings, there is a relatively high probability it gets moved. Guess this is the price of being good in the new era of games played in non-traditional timeslots more and more, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Didn’t realize we will get a couple extra days before the Bengals game. Gladly take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBillsForLife Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 All 3 of our losses have been on Sunday at 1pm, give me the bright lights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If the league calls both teams and says "don't bother showing up", I guess they're no longer 'in the hunt'. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope it’s Sunday at 4:25 that means it’s to claim home field throughout the AFC playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure, but given the remaining schedules for the teams in contention that appears unlikely. Not impossible but it would take some more good fortune for that scenario to play out.

folz Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If they were to flex the Pats game to Saturday night, then the Bills will have played 9 primetime games this year (I'm including Thanksgiving even though it was a 12:30 pm start and Saturday games, even though the Bears game will be 1:00 pm start). And the KC game was a nationally televised game with a 4:25 pm start time...which almost made it feel like primetime because of the hype for that game between those two teams. The Bills will have played only 7 of 17 games in the Sunday 1:00 pm time slot...and only 3 of those Sunday at 1:00 pm games at home. They will have played 8 games not on Sunday (Thur, Mon, or Sat). And of course, only 7 home games vs. 10 on the road (with the schedule and the Cleveland game moving to Detroit due to snowmaggedon). Who could have ever imagined a schedule like that during the drought years? This is what you want...to be a top team in the spotlight. But 7 home games and 10 away games, 8 non-Sunday games (9 primetime games) really messes with the team's normal schedule, etc. And a lot of the teams on the schedule have been better than expected at the start of this year. It may be a fun schedule for us fans, etc., but I'm sure it hasn't been an easy one for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of possibilities for some pretty good primetime games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 SI Just posted this for 2023 Home: Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Broncos, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, AFC South TBD (Currently Titans), NFC South TBD (Currently Bucs) Road: Chiefs, Chargers, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Eagles, AFC North TBD (Bengals or Ravens), Commanders Chiefs, Eagles, Commanders, likely Bengals on the Road. Someday we will get to play the Chiefs in the OP. Suspect it will be the first game in the new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could pick anyone from the division, Giants, Cowboys, Chiefs, Eagles are strong possibilities for the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
