Charles Romes Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I can't recall this ever happening before except the maybe the playoffs. You think that two multi-billion dollar organizations could do a conflict check.
K D Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The Sabres? Who are they? New NFL expansion team perhaps?

You think that two multi-billion dollar organizations could do a conflict check.Not every conflict is solvable. Besides, teams in every sport deal with this. Edited November 12, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
LabattBlue Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 It would be different if both were playing at home at the same time. Instead both are on the road. Also, it is not like it is two "can't miss" games. The Sabres are playing there 16th of 82 games against a fairly irrelevant Florida team.
Fadingpain Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I can't recall this ever happening before except the maybe the playoffs. You think that two multi-billion dollar organizations could do a conflict check. This happens more often than you would think, usually when the Sabres play a somewhat rare Sunday game. There is usually some overlap between the two, though it depends obviously on when the Sabres game is scheduled and if the Bills game is early or late. In Big League cities this happens all the time.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Its happened many times. In todays world this isnt a problem, many ways to watch both. Sabres game will be entering the 3rd period when the Bills kick off. Plus there are 82 Sabres games, 16 Bills. Not really a dilemma.

It is a dilemma if, like me, you want to be able to watch the Sabres game without knowing the outcome or receiving updates along the way. I'll be DVR-ing the Sabres and watching Bills live with participation here at this website and listening to GR-55. it's going to be tough to avoid Sabre sinformation tonight. Luckily its not an important Sabres game!
KOKBILLS Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 One on the comp and one on the TV tonight...It's going to be stress overload...
zonabb Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The Sabres? Who are they? New NFL expansion team perhaps? I think the team that will go from dead last to the playoffs before the Bills go to the playoffs from whatever their bottom-out position was. Just sayin. Or the team whose owner bought a floundering tire fire in Orchard Park that hasn't seen the playoffs since its emerging superstar was, what, 3?
26CornerBlitz Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The respective leagues make team schedules. Inevitably, there will be conflicts. It is what it is.

I'm Spartacus Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Jeez. I heard that this happens all the time....

Luckily its not an important Sabres game! If you are that concerned about it, just do it old school...just watch the Bills game, on your tv...skip the in-game chat stuff, and DVR the Sabres game to watch afterwards. As the Bills game is only on the NFL Network, they will not give you hockey scores during the course of the evening...your only spoiler possibility (very remote) is that Phil Simms (or whoever is doing the game tonight) mentions the Sabres game...very, very unlikely to happen.

Malazan Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I get a warm feeling in my pants watching Jack Eichel play. I think he could play offensive line and/or QB is he was asked to do it.
K D Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I get a warm feeling in my pants watching Jack Eichel play. I think he could play offensive line and/or QB is he was asked to do it. Yea but he's a Patriots fan yuck
SF Bills Fan Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I get a warm feeling in my pants watching Jack Eichel play. I think he could play offensive line and/or QB is he was asked to do it. Eichel is the real deal- a star in the making. Both games will be on at the Northstar tonight in San Francisco. Here's to two big victories.
YoloinOhio Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The good news is if this game goes poorly, we always have Jack to turn to.
nucci Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 this is america, hockey is irrelevant. it's somewhere below NASCAR and the PGA tour. but hey, still more fans than MLS soccer and WNBA i'm a Sabres fan but just telling it like it is. the NFL is america's game (sorry baseball). an early season hockey game has no relevance To you maybe....doesn't mean the rest of us don't like it. Maybe not a lot of relevance but the Sabres are fun to watch again
ddaryl Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) I will be watching the Sabres game They look like a team on the rise My gut says the Bills embarrass us AGAIN on national TV Edited November 12, 2015 by ddaryl
