wjag Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Yep the NFL knows the Bills are must see TV. They simply play the wildest games of any team, week in, week out. That was why there was no 4th down measurement. 😈 No need to risk it.. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fun to watch and just has that magnetic personality. He has that kind of effect on people. Combine that with the whole Damar incident and feel-good story that it has become, and that's a recipe for a big audience.

UKBillFan Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Stunning figures but the Divisional scheduling just confuses me more off the back of it. The Bengals-Bills game, with all the background surrounding it, which is sure to grab neutral interest, gets given an afternoon slot? Despite the Bills drawing in the viewers? To put it simply, I don’t understand that. Plus, why not have the two AFC games play on the same day and the two NFC games play on the same day? As it is, the number one seeds, already coming off a bye, also get an advantage of an extra day’s break too (dependent on whether they beat the Jaguars/Giants). To me: Saturday afternoon: Jaguars-Chiefs Saturday primetime: Bengals-Bills Sunday afternoon: Giants-Eagles Sunday primetime: Cowboys or Buccaneers-49ers would make more sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I wonder when the peak happened. I think a lot of people tuned in once the upset was in the works. I know as a neutral fan I would have put the game on when the Fins took the lead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Josh was the number 1 selling jersey this year…the Bills have a national following now.

JerseyBills Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Was just gonna post this. America loves the Bills. How can you not. They're one of the most likeable and exciting teams in the game and watching Allen is like watching Jordan and LeBron in their primes. He has multiple highlight plays per game, im sure he and the team reach the casual audience that other teams can't Edited January 17, 2023 by JerseyBills 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 How could it not be the most viewed when the game was 4 hours long?

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I guess folks started to tune in hoping to see another upset after the night before. 22 minutes ago, QCity said: No, they tuned in to watch their game, and when it wasn't on they switched stations to see what was going on. Not hard to grasp. That does make sense. I recall they said they delayed the start of that game by 20 or 30 minutes. By the time the Bills game ended and I switched to the Fox game it was around 10 minutes left in the first quarter. I never even realized our game was 4 hours long. Felt like a normal length game to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday...maybe the most watched Sunday division round in League history. The most watched Monday night game in 22 years, which was never finished, is now a playoff game? Followed by one of the great playoff rivalries (just being honest) of all time being renewed and it isn't just in name only with both teams being pretty good, equal to the highest win total of the weekend...which is the game played earlier that afternoon. I am unwavering in this now as I have been for many years of my life. What is my all time favorite sports period? Without blinking...the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

SCBills Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Some of it was probably the fact it was a close game (although pretty much every WC game was close going into the 4th aside from DAL/TB).. most of it is the Bills/Allen. People tune in for QB's. There's a reason they are so protected. Of the Top 5/6 QB's, only Allen & Mahomes are really must watch.. add in Lamar, if you have him ranked that high.

No way Giants Eagles isn’t in prime time with markets ##1 and 6. I spoke with a member of the media about the TV schedule on the way out of the WC game and the consensus among everyone there was that we would land on Sunday afternoon if the Giants won. I’m dumbfounded by the ratings for our 1p game, but I can’t see how anyone knocks two huge markets out of a prime time playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
