Drive to Batavia and watch from some place there. They should be in the WGRZ broadcast area. I used to drive 30-40 miles one way every week to watch the games with the San JoseBills Backers when I lived in CA.
Back in the late 1980s when I first moved to Albany, Bills games would be on in Utica, but not Albany. I had a 5" battery TV & would drive west on Rt 20 until I was able to get the game in. I'd sit in my car & watch the game at a rest stop. One time the Bills were in Seattle for a 4PM game. I didn't like the idea of being alone in a dark rest area on Rt 20, so I drove 2/3 of the way to Utica, parked in a Thruway rest stop & watched the game in the parking lot. I was even able to go inside & get dinner at halftime. By the following season, I found the sports bars in Albany & never drove part way to Utica again.

Haven't noticed if already posted, but will this game replay air on NFL channel after the game is over?
Midnight, right after the game. That was going to be my original plan before I caved & bought Peacock.

Don’t get me wrong. I still would prefer a new LT. I don’t like Dawkins. But I am giving his credit for likely having his best year and likely his best game ever last night. I still don’t want to pay him another big contract. Would rather find a journeyman vet and draft one in the 2-3rd rd and hope for the best.
It's so easy to get a good LT, just like it was to replace Howard Ballard at RT years ago. Just hit speed dial & get the next Jerry Crafts.

Aaron Kromer deserves a lot of credit.

this has a duck hodges vibe to it.
I loved that game. The Steelers were favored & the 1st thing I did that week was drive to the casino & bet the Bills on the money line. When I saw the line my 1st thought was: Duck Hodges vs Josh Allen? Pittsburgh favored? They can't be serious!
I made good money betting the Bills in futures & some games in 2019 because it took a while for the public to realize what a rising star the Bills had in Josh Allen. I caught on early because I was watching him play & not relying on stats.

I tried NFL + last year for the Thursday night game & I thought it was ridiculous to have to watch a game on a phone. Unless they expanded the electronics that can be used for NFL +, the product is garbage. NFL + is not meant for old guys like me.

So he can't be promoted from within before the season ends and kept on?
Nope. Here's an example: Jim Haslett
Haslett became the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator to start the 2006 season. On September 29, 2008 Haslett was named the interim head coach of the Rams after Scott Linehan was fired. The Rams gave Haslett an interim coach's contract, containing a clause that promised him the permanent head coach's job if the team won at least six games that season. Within a few weeks, this clause was nullified by the NFL, because it violated the league's "Rooney Rule".

If they elect to "remove the interim tag" prior to seasons end, does that get around that rule?
No. The whole reason for the interim tag is because you cannot hire a permanent head coach, coordinator, or GM who is not a minority, in season.

Ch. 7
It's on channel 2, not 7. That makes sense since Peacock is NBC. I confirmed this with WGRZ's schedule: https://www.wgrz.com/tv-listings
Bills 13.5 road favorite.

The story goes that the Steelers were only doing their interviews as a formality before Mike Tomlin came in and blew them away. The rest is history.
The difference is they didn't have an interim coach who had done a great job before they interviewed Tomlin (Who is a HOF coach and was obviously the right choice). The job was open and so were the minds of the Rooneys.

Not to toot my own horn, but I predicted his HOF career early in his rookie year. I was dead serious and took some ribbing as a result.
And yeah, these are the are the good old days so soak it in indeed.
I wasn't far behind. On opening day 2019 I was on a bus trip to opening day at Met-Life and a Jets fan in the seat in front of me started making Josh Allen accuracy jokes. I told him that day that Josh would be in the Hall of Fame.

Right now Joe Brady is earning the permanent OC job, but according to NFL rules the Bills have to interview for the OC job and they must interview minorities.
If Brady's offense continues to win, then every interview is a sham since Brady will be a lock for the job.
Unless the goal of the interviewee is to get the QB coach job, why would anyone interview for a job someone else is a lock to get? This part of the enhanced Rooney Rule is a total joke. They might as well ask Les Frazier to interview for the OC job as a favor to the team.

Games like yesterday's are among the reasons I hate QB stats. They can be so misleading. You have to watch the games to understand a QB's performance. QB stats are so bad, that if you look at completion % and QB rating, Rob Johnson was a better Bills QB than Jim Kelly. I rest my case.

Why can't we find a QB that can throw for 100 yards?
Fixed

Just remember this: As soon as the game ended, we are all Dallas fans for the next 7 days. May they go to Miami in an angry mood & kick some Dolphin butt.

They should have been fined a lot more, that is why they did it, that is pocket change to them!
Should have suspended Mahomes until opening day 2024. 😄

Keep this in mind the next time you want to replace McDermott with an assistant coach who has never been a head coach, or a former Super Bowl winning head coach:
The ONLY successful assistant hired as Bills head coach is McDermott. All other 1st time coaches have failed the Bills.
No coach has ever won the Super Bowl with more than 1 team.

Staley fired along with St. Francis grad GM, Tom Telesco
-
I think the only reason Staley hasn't been fired already is that it's not business hours in LA yet.

Crap. I don't get peacock. I guess it's the bar for me.
Unless you live in Buffalo or LA, where the game will be televised locally, I doubt too many bars have a Peacock subscription.

There is nothing below premium. The days of free Peacock content are long gone.

That's where I go when the Bills aren't on home TV. They tore that building down & replaced it. The new building has individual booths (carrels) equipped with TVs so that I can turn the sound up while I watch the game. Fortunately, most of the games were on home TV, so I only had to go there twice this season.
