That wasn't even the worst comment. They actually said the Colts punter was teams MVP last year...and they had Luck

 

A couple years ago they found him passed out in a creek near a nightclub. I'd give him MVP for that!

Just speculating, but perhaps that is because outside of Minneapolis and Buffalo, no one cares to watch that game, combined with the fact that Buffalo is one of the smallest TV markets and Minneapolis is not far ahead. Just a guess.

And that should not matter.

 

Since it is called the NFL Network, you should cover every team in the league and not play favorites.

Exactly. The Bills' commentators also are very fair... They never use words like "our" or "we" when describing the Bills' plays/players.

 

But to your point, a game that was played at 8:00 on Friday night can easily be filled into your network sceduling anywhere between 12:00-6:00am (when they're not showing NFL Total Access) and if not at those times then anytime throughout Saturday... I don't know. Maybe I'm being sour. But maybe they're just wrong...

Preseason crews are typically bad but these guys were just terrible

 

It's a close call as to who was worse, their on-air guys or the production crew.

 

No exaggeration they must have missed parts of a dozen plays. Didn't the Indy crew also miss the second half kickoff?

I think that was NFL Network looking at another game and then joining the Colts broadcast in progress.

Thanks BBB.

 

All I know was that "they" missed it.

 

The Colts broadcast really was awful though, so many times we couldn't see how the Bills lined up, and at times the announcers sounded like they don't watch the sport regularly. On Rolle's INT they thought the review was for possession rather than down by contact...seriously?

 

I'm going to DVR an NFLN replay, hopefully they show our guys and I can hear what Murph had to say.

FYI, folks, Minnesota at Bills to be shown on NFL Network this Sunday at 10 am

 

That's Sunday, August 18th, 10 am.

 

Go Bills!

 

Thanks Joisy.

 

2 days after the game was actually played is flat out disrespectful. They replay games that were live games once and some twice before they have the Bills game on Sunday.

 

It is being replayed on Sunday so *I* can watch it when I get off work. Some work nights you know?

Unless it is blacked out?

 

Yes but the game would normally be blacked Thursday then showed the next day, maybe my memory is off but it seems like this happens every year as I can't remember the last time a preseason game sold out, maybe its different this year.

 

The #Bills game against the #Vikings Friday is blacked out in #WNY #billscamp

 

Well that's just un-American :angry:

there is another sports package on 682 or some such that may play the game live. I'd check my scheduler again but im on the road

The Bills play their game when a bunch other teams play so on friday night NFL network usually does a broadcast where they jump around to other games. One game is supposed to be on FOX, so the other 3 are ones that NFL network will show footage of. You will probably be able to see some of the action happening.

 

NFL network will rebroadcast 16 games..if game takes 3 hrs to show, that is 48 hrs of broadcast time. them rebroadcasting a game about 36 hrs after the live game isnt all that much of a stretch.

 

NFL network showed the Colts game live...through indy feed

 

It will show the week 3 game against Washignton live as well (its the only game happening in that window).

My favorite part was on the first drive of the game when they introduced the starting lineups, they only introduced the Colts offense. No lie. I had to look up the Bills roster online and check the numbers to see who was playing for Buffalo. I think that after a few plays they may have introduced the Bills, but it wasn't until well into the Colt's opening drive.
