The NFL does not want to waste the Bills' TV ratings on an international game. Only fans of the teams involved bother getting up early on a Sunday morning to watch these games. And I always forget they are on and usually only catch the last quarter, if it's a good game, which it rarely seems to be. They are gimmick games.

Time for a new family 😉

 

I've already reduced them to "every other Christmas" so that 1 year in two is just me, the other half and friends... but this year is the family's turn....

Broncos @ Chiefs Christmas Day released

 

Hopefully this means we won't be playing Christmas Day at home like some rumors.  I don't think they would put two heavy hitter AFC teams on the same day, I feel like they would want to diversify it with NFC action.  I mean it could be Bills Eagles, but that's a Marquee matchup and doesn't need to be on a holiday like Christmas to be a mega draw for ratings, feels like a waste on a day like that where you already have a captive audience.

 

 Chiefs and Ravens both played Xmas last year

I hope you’re wrong.  I could see the NFL liking having two of the top AFC competitors both playing on Christmas Day as playoff seeding is coming into focus.  And I really want to spend the holiday in Buffalo.  I’m bummed, however, that the night game is now out of play.

My prediction is we host the Ravens this Christmas.  Potential late season MVP battle.  NFL can tout the Bills Hallmark movie.  What a gift for us all.

I feel like we’ve been pretty fortunate in dodging the international games the past 7 or 8 years.

Vikings playing 2 international games is really awful.    

It's only a matter of time before Global Goodell forces a team to be put in Europe

Good chance bills won't play Christmas as those teams that play that Saturday double header, probably will be getting the Christmas games. (The extra day off)

 

Just heard that Dec 20 is round 1 of the college playoff.  
 

3 playoff games that day.  
 

Wow.  This is pretty unprecedented for the NFL.

I hope the Bills three games vs AFC heavyweights (KC, Baltimore, Cinci) are more in the front half of the schedule.  I don't like playing these teams in the playoffs shortly after the regular season meeting.

[Warriorspikes51]

Only 1 MNF game for us this year?    3  SNF?   2 TNF?

I am honestly stunned because the Bills would have been the road team and with Josh as MVP I really thought they were going to lean into that.

Awful for who? Their second opponent…, the Browns? I thought we all agreed that it’s preferable to go over there for two weeks like Jacksonville did when they played us.

Aikman and Buck were just on GMA.  They have it this year.  Buck picked the Bills to win it.  Aikman of course Dallas 

Edit: they said   "2 years the SB will be back on ESPN/ABC"

my mistake

Dallas. LOL. I know Aikman is a Cowboys fan obviously, but they are the 3rd best team in their division behind the Eagles and Commanders. Then there are a bunch of other NFC contenders who are also better than them. The Cowboys are a long shot at best to represent the NFC. My pick for the NFC is Detroit.

Maybe I misheard.  They may have been talking about 2027 as if they were hosting it this year? 

 

Edit: they said   "2 years the SB will be back on ESPN/ABC"

my mistake  I originally didn't hear the 2 years part
