Offside Number 76 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I can't imagine most of us want to watch out-of-conference Seattle against 2-3 Cincinnati, but that's what we get at 1pm on CBS instead of rooting for Carolina against Miami, or watching a tiebreaker matchup atop the AFC south between Indy and Jacksonville. Fox doesn't have anything interesting at all in that time slot, so I guess SF at Browns is the best the league can do. But why is our CBS affiliate carrying a game that few of us could care about?

Bills fan since 87 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I kinda want to see that Bengals/Seahawks game. Is Cincy really back? This could be a close tight game between 2 decent teams. Miami/Carolina? oof, that will be over by my second beer, which isn't that long at all 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Honestly would rather watch the Cinci/Seattle game. I don’t see the Mia-Car game even being close, but I understand your point. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Miami game is more important but the only way Miami doesn't win that is "any given Sunday." Cinci/Seattle should at least be a good game and also still important to us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami, Carolina, Indy, and Jacksonville are all small markets, and CBS wants to have as many eye as possible on the Seeattle-Cincy game, due to ratings purposes. Plus, Cincinnati is still one of our main rivals in the conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if that game is over by halftime or the 3rd quarter at the latest. Another reason why the Bills have to win Sunday night because the Fins aren't losing this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I would much rather watch Cincy vs Seattle. It's a decent matchup, and The Bengals being in the AFC is of interest to us. Why would anyone in their right mind want to watch Miami vs Carolina??? Miami is probably going to score 80 on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsUberAlles Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Why wouldn't we want to see if Cincy turned it's season around with a good offensive showing last week or if it was a fluke? They are teetering in the brink of disaster this season for a team that knocked us out of the playoffs last year. I think quite a few people, including myself wants to see this game.

Bucs were the only team they looked to completely outclass even though Hurts didn’t play his best. Are they a top team in the league? Yes. But don’t count out that Jets team even with Zach Wilson out there. They’ve been competitive in every game except the Cowboys. 2¢ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortchaz Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I can’t imagine the Seahawks beating the bengals. The Seahawks might win some games they shouldn’t but they won’t win the games you want them to win (as bills fans). They’re in the same group as the rams and the chargers.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 When I looked at this weeks schedule all I saw were bad game in the entire 1:00 slot. So can't say western NY got screwed, the entire country did. Bengals were supposed to be one of the best teams in conference so that was expected to be a good one. If you really were interested in watching the Miami Carolina game, I'd suggest finding a better hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
