Another quick update: SF will officially host SBLX (60) in February 2026. (Las Vegas is the host next year, followed by New Orleans fir 2025.) Adn the 2025 was awarded to Green Bay. (Detroit will host next year.) Too bad Las Vegas was skipped a few years ago.

I also am a little annoyed that the Giants traded Kadarius Toney to our hated conference rival. I know, trades happen, but still... Minor correction: you mean Philly beats both. Another minor thing: if we are the AFC's number 1 seed, we won't play Miami again in the WC. Overall, I like your enthusiasm. I think the Bills will be on a revenge tour this season, as someone also mentioned earlier.

Wait, we get to play Milwaukee this year?! [Sorry...couldn't help myself 😂] I agree though: we'll beat Tampa Bay. Baker is not going to get the job done against us.

The NFL is expected to announce that SB LX (60) for the 2026-27 season will be awarded to San Francisco again (Levi's Stadium) in Santa Clara. This became more likely after SoFi Stadium in LA pulled out since they are hosting the World Cup in 2026: From the PFT article: "Levi’s Stadium hosted Super Bowl 50. At the time, it was expected to be a one-time quid pro quo in return for the building of the stadium. San Francisco and Santa Clara were not expected to enter the loose Super Bowl rotation. Aiding the effort to return the game to San Francisco is the fact that other major venues, such as SoFi Stadium, will be hosting World Cup events in 2026, prompting them to pass on pursuing that year’s Super Bowl. Super Bowl LXIII will be played in Las Vegas, and Super Bowl LIX will be played in New Orleans." [For reference only, these are the cities/areas hosting the world cup:]

Yeah, they seem to have good reviews, but something seems fishy. They ship from out of the country and have no phone. [Also, I think in order to display the team logos, the company has to have an NFL license. The NFLPA license would be just for the players' names and likenesses (I think).] ----------------- [second post:] They have Baker Mayfield wearing a Carolina uniform, lol: https://iconic-puzzles.com/products/baker-mayfield-official-wooden-puzzle And TJ Watt's uniform looks more like a Raiders uniform than Steelers: https://iconic-puzzles.com/products/tj-watt-official-wooden-puzzle

An ESPN+ account since they are airing one of the London games exclusively.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Reminds me of a guy at my former gym. Pays over $600 a month to see a trainer 3 times a week at his main gym, and then joined a second gym for $50 a month (which he doesn't like) just to use the trainer's services (since he switched his service to a new location). He also just bought a $3,000 e-bike which he never uses. But he balked at paying $5 more a month (just $35) for a main gym which he admits is better since he pays only $25 now. WTF?

And one more! ESPN+ will exclusively carry one game. This is a streaming platform: What do you use?

Very creative thread title!

Yeah but as of now, AFAIK, the free trial is just 7 days. The Bills game at LA in December is also on Peacock. Choose this or the playoff game, not both (unless you live in Buffalo or LA or wherever the playoff teams are in the WC game, where the games will also be on free TV.)

Also being discussed here:

Thank you for spelling "inductees" correctly in your title. 😃

There will be a Wild Card game on primetime exclusively on Peacock. So free trialers, pick your poison: Bills December game or Wild Card game.

Speaking of that, I saw a guy at my gym today wearing a genuine NFL Henry Ruggs III jersey. Why would he do that, especially after having just plead guilty? Like, would you even be allowed in Highmark wearing a Simpson jersey? Also, for the heck of it, I googled Ruggs and Simpson jerseys, and they are still for sale. Some even for $70-$90. WTF?

You mean 20-0?! 😄

Didn't you make a great post about this last year explaining everything in detail? Just save it so you can just post the link to that every time this questions comes up (which it will during Chiefs week)! 😄

I agree. But the game in the 716 will be on free TV...whichever channel wins the bid. But expect to see a lot of trial subscriptions in the 585 (Rochester)!

Yeah, Week 4 is definitely possible, maybe even probable. The only CBS games that week are: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-schedule-2023-complete-list-of-games-broadcast-on-cbs-including-bengals-chiefs-showdown-in-week-17/ Week 4 Sunday, October 1 Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m. Denver Broncos at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. Pittsburgh Steelers at Houston Texans, 1 p.m. Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers, 4:05 p.m.

[first post:] Actually, AFAIK, commercial accounts like with bars, restaurants, and hotels do not offer Peacock yet, even though they have made a deal to air YouTube's Sunday Ticket via EverPass. So, if that is still the case in December, Bills fans out of Buffalo and LA areas are screwed unless they do the free trials with Peacock. ----------------------- [second post:] Bills are on four Sunday national TV late-afternoon games which are featured Games of the Week. Home to Dallas and the Jet and away at Philly and KC:

New media rights contract: From Awful Announcing: https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/whats-new-in-the-2023-nfl-schedule-release.html "ABC Gets More Monday Night Football OG fans will remember the days of ABC carrying Monday Night Football. The amount of NFL games on ABC has gone up over the years. Last year, it carried a standalone game in Week 2 with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling Minnesota at Philadelphia on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET while ESPN had Tennessee at Buffalo at 7:15 p.m. This season, there will be three instances where ESPN and ABC will have “side-by-side” games. Gone are the Week 1 doubleheaders at 7 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. Instead, ESPN will have the early game while ABC will have a contest 75 minutes later. In addition, there will be weeks where ABC will simulcast ESPN’s game. And in Week 18, ABC and ESPN will simulcast a Saturday doubleheader as well as the Monday Night Wild Card Playoff Game and a Divisional Playoff game next January."

@Bigvinny posted this earlier in this thread on page 2: Week 1 - vs. Indianapolis - WIVB - Time/Date TBD Week 2 - at Pittsburgh - WIVB - Time Date TBD Week 3- at Chicago - WIVB - Time Date TBD

The Peacock game will also be on locally for free in Buffalo and LA. If you don't live in those areas, they offer a free 7-day trial. [Peacock is the NBC streaming service.]

Well three of their primetime games are late season and can be flexed out if necessary.
