BB27 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I doubt it, and I hope not, we suck at primetime games. I don't want the heartache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The schedule won't be out until around Draft time. We only know who we play next season so far. The people that make the schedule don't even start working on it until March I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 if we do, it will be against the Pats... probably at NE... that's my guess anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 If we do, I hope it isn't against NE. That usually is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob4Bills Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Historically, ABC's format was teams with a winning record the previous year- with a rare 8-8 club featured. We pass this test plus we are likely to get a lot of preseason hype as a late up & comer from last year. We will likely play an AFC East team and may make a couple Sunday nighters as well.. ABC is also toying with having 2 MNF games going at the same time to offset the typical blowouts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I believe we will get one MNF date. I pray that it is a home game, but I think that's too much to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I hope we have 16 Sunday 1:00 games. Anything else messes with my schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Bills vs Jets on MNF wouldnt be that bad...we always play good games against them and they are usually very entertaining. Both teams finished above .500 and are in division rivals. If I were a betting man, I'd place money on a Buffalo/NY Monday Night Football game this year.

HopsGuy Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The Bills have asked the league office to not schedule primetime games in Buffalo. The Bills marketing scheme is to "regionalize" the team and draw from all over upstate NY and the Niagara Peninsula. A typical Sunday 1 PM kickoff works with that plan by allowing folks enough time to drive home after the game and have a good night's sleep for work on Monday. That's why over the last few years, all of the Bills primetime games have been on the road. To even it up a bit, the schedulers throw the Bills a bone by sending a playoff team to Orchard Park near the end of the season. This year it was the Steelers. I think the Bills will get a road MNF game next year. Willis McGahee makes for an interesting story. A MNF game with WM returning to Miami might be compelling.

I see us getting one MNF game, and 2 SNF games. Look for one of those to be againist the Panthers.....just my hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I hope we have 16 Sunday 1:00 games. Anything else messes with my schedule 221395[/snapback] My thoughts exactly. Hate 4 oclock games as I like to TIVO the one oclock games and watch without commercials from 4.30 to 6. Unfortunetly, the one habit I absolutely cannot quit is drinkin beer during a bills game. And a six pack just doesn't get er done! So the night games just crush me the next day. 16 one oclock games is my vote, or if a night game, Saturday at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he went on record saying that he is not opposed to playing a Prime Time game in Buffalo. I think we'll get two prime time games this year, a Sunday night and a Monday night, with one of them being at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
