LeviF Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I think I'll be there. That'll be interesting, especially since we play the Pats* the Sunday before.
Captain Hindsight Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Damnit if it was a week later I could go!
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 What do you think? Better then none. And they should win. Glad it is at home. Just may try to make that one, a Thursday night game in the Ralp will be awesome. Mid November could mean decent weather. Ha
Mopreme Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Terrible. No Monday night games. Of course, the Bears have numerous. Bills should boycott the season!
McClane Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Every team in the NFL plays on Thursday this year (including Thanksgiving). If this wasn't the case, we probably would've got zero prime time games.
The Big Cat Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Terrible. No Monday night games. Of course, the Bears have numerous. Bills should boycott the season! Not hard: market 3 v market 51
Maddog69 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 i just put in my request for a day off on Friday November 16
biglukes Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 i just put in my request for a day off on Friday November 16 I'm thinking of going half day off pm on Thursday to ensure plenty of tailgating time and half day Friday off am to ensure I actually get some sleep.
VanCity Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I think that the NFL sched-makers didn't pay attention. The Bills-Fins are no primetime matchup. Bills-Pats or Bills-Jests are. I hope we absolutely crush the Fins to show the league what happens when they deliver 4 Monday nighters to the Bears, a team led by a QB made of glass and a vaunted defense that looked over-the-hill last year before they got older this year. I'm just bitter I guess. That's what you get for being a fan of a small-market team.
Buftex Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 i just put in my request for a day off on Friday November 16 Been making moves like that for years! I haven't worked the Sunday after the Super Bowl in about 15 years...used to do the same thing back when the Bills were on night games a bit more often...gotta have priorities! Of course I will watch, and hopefully, enjoy...but I am not a big fan of Thursday Night football, no matter who is playing.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I'll be taking a 1/2 day thurs and all day Friday. May make it the inaugural sleeping experience in the RV we bought for the games last year!

So in that sense, you are right that it's no primetime game. Edited April 18, 2012 by NoSaint
Steve O Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Always take home game days plus the day after off...of course Sunday's don't cost a vacation day. Just to old to fake it through Monday, or in this case Friday, any more
Buftex Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I think they avoided putting the best games on a channel no one can watch. So in that sense, you are right that it's no primetime game. You bring up an interesting point...think that with 16 NFL games, the NFLN will be added to more cable carriers? I have a feeling it will...even the most mundane of NFL matchups on ESPN are still amongst the very highest rated cable programs on any given Monday.
Virgil Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I think that the game will be weak and the NFL will use it as a reason to not give us more prime time games. No one cares about either team outside of our markets and this won't change anything. At least give us a game against a team with a national fanbase
Mr. WEO Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I think they avoided putting the best games on a channel no one can watch. So in that sense, you are right that it's no primetime game. Bingo.
nodnarb Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 What do you think? I think we deserve better than that. No MNF? BS.
