But no time change for Vegas, and it's closer.

I wouldn't say he's on crack; it's a reasonable prediction. GB over PHI would not surprise me, nor would BAL over BUF, even though I don't agree, the homer that I am.

And yet the Bills completely dominated the NFC teams in the 90's, having the best IIRC (or second best?) inter-conference record of any team. We might have had a 17-year playoff drought, but we made up for that in the 90's and today.

In the past 20 years, the AFC has only won the series 10.5 times, so maybe not much truth to that common narrative. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/afc-vs-nfc-record-year-by-year-all-teams-grouped-by-conference-last-20-years

Some Rams fans are in agreement with you, judging from twitter. Others wanted it moved to Vegas, SF, San Diego, or even kept in place. Also, on a related note, some fans have noted the irony of moving the game to a stadium sponsored by State Farm:

Do Minnesota fans flying in get free ticket exchanges to Phoenix?

At first I read this as "if [Tom] Brady gets a coaching job [for Miami], would you hire McDaniel?" [Makes some sense, given their past mutual interest.]

The game belongs in Minnesota, but that will never happen.

For years people here said we should have drafted OBJ instead of Sammy. Now it's Evans. Whatever. It is what it is.

If there were only other threads about this...

You forgot: "[This is an automated response.]" 🤪

See everybody, there's no issue!

He loves Buffalo now!

Should have been a poll.

1983 - Kelly, Marino, Elway, Blackledge, O'Brien, Eason (5 of the 6 were drafted by AFC East teams) 2005 - Rodgers, Fitzpatrick, Cassel, Smith, Orton, Campbell, Anderson 2004 - Manning, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Schaub

NBC doesnt get to pick. All assignments are made by the NFL, taking into some consideration preferences of network. The main things for the NFL though are market sizes and viewerships in certain time/day slots, along with some scheduling constraints, like 4v5 for MNF and CBS early because of their simulcast for kids on Nickelodeon.

MNF is a 4v5, so no PIT-BAL. And no way does the NFL put WAS-TB in the best TV slot.

Over on the Bengals forum, some want Zac Taylor fired.

He wouldn't go there. Remember, the Jets passed on him to draft Darnold. Nine mistakes were made ahead of him!

The thread title should be changed to something more pertinent to the OP, like "Dalvin Cook's cryptic tweet about James getting paid".

This is the link in graphic form:

It's possible. The NFL does not like inter-conference (or intra-division) games for the Kickoff but it has happened in the past recently, once in 2022 because no other suitable teams were available (BUF-LAR) and once in 2023 because they wanted to save the two other good matchups of BUF-KC and CIN-KC for other times in the season (DET-KC). Also, there technically is no TNF for Week 1 (or Week 18); that went to Amazon last time it was awarded. The Thursday Kickoff is part of the SNF package awarded to NBC (as is Thanksgiving night). So it's Thursday night football on SNF.

Mainly because our opponent, Indy: a small-market team led by Philip Rivers that no one cared about. It didn't help Buffalo was also small-market and pretty new to the scene, just having won the division for the first time since 1996.

Is no one an option? I think the Bills just want to focus on staying healthy. I can't see Mitch doing anything fancy. Josh will try to get Cook a TD for OJ's record.
