JoPoy88 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 National outlets probably want to focus on new faces in new places for preseason. The Bills are largely the same as last year. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I honestly don't remember a preseason game ever being aired nationally other than the HOF game.

Big Turk Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Why would they be?

78thealltimegreat Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 The NFL Network literally thinks more of the Browns and Bears then it does of Buffalo. The Bills literally have a chance in one game to jackhammer six months of off season media narratives about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRiderBills Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Are you sure? I thought their were no LIVE Bills games on National TV. I think some may be on, but tape delayed on NFLN. The 46 games listed were the live ones (i thought) I may be wrong here. BTW as optimistic as some folks are, with 46 LIVE games, Yes, it is bullcrap they could not get one Bills game.

I guess the window has closed. It's consistent with how the media always cover the Bills. Until you're viewed by the general public as legitimately good, the Bills don't get covered. The general public believed the Bills were good for exactly one year: from 13 seconds to the loss to the Bengals. Now, the general public has forgotten about the Bills again. The Bills have to win something to become relevant to the general public; until then, the networks aren't interested.

For the most part, the Bills roster is set. for me, i would schedule national preseason games with teams who have to play a "name" quarterback. like wherever baker mayfield is at. Or justin fields. even the Panthers. because their qb also happens to be a "name" quarterback who also is going to play a ton in preseason. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/bryce-young-will-start-preseason-opener I need 'name' quarterbacks because nationally, i need as many casual fans to watch as possible. I need those fans to know that the guy they have heard of is going to play. Hopefully a ton. And most importantly, i need my advertiser clients to know this.

eball Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Aren’t all the preseason games on NFL+? I guess I don’t even understand the premise of this thread. Who the hell cares if preseason games are nationally televised? With the reduction in games from 4 to 3 and the late cutdown date, literally none of these games feature players we’ll be seeing on Sundays this fall.

Can't do the self victimizing "oh woe is us/small market" nonsense if you can't find something to get upset about. Nevermind The Bills being tied with KC, Dallas, L.A. Chargers for the most primetime games. Dallas and L.A. being enormous markets. That really screams of disinterest in the "small market Bills" 🙄Then we have a QB who is a star, went into last season with #1 sales in Jerseys, commercials left and right. It's just such a silly take at this point and I can't believe some of the fans are trying to still use this angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those 6 prime time regular season games really show the media’s “small market bias” towards the Bills. What a joke; I expected better from you, Shaw. The Bills are an elite NFL franchise and are treated as such in the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
