MelissaInPhilly Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Seems like we haven't been on Monday Night Football in ages. When was the last time? When does the 2005-06 schedule come out anyway?
eball Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 1-15. 260979[/snapback] what the hell does that mean?
Arkady Renko Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 It's funny that the no matter how crappy the Cowboys or Bears are they are the year before they find themselves on MNF b/c of their popularity. And ABC wonders why their games suck late in the year...

And ABC wonders why their games suck late in the year... 260986[/snapback] Going w/the big market teams is the easiest way for them to ensure they will have ratings. Even w/a shift to smaller market matchups, I'd still stay away from it as long as they have Madden on. If the Bills were on, I guess I'd watch it, but I would turn down the sound as I cannot tolerate Madden's tired routine.
Arkady Renko Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 <praying for sixteen 1:00pm Sunday games> 261018[/snapback] Yeah being our trackrecord on the national stage and since I will almost certainly be on the east coast next year, I agree.
RJsackedagain Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Part of the reason the Bills do not get on MNF more often is because they don't want to host those games or sunday night games.
RJsackedagain Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 <praying for sixteen 1:00pm Sunday games> 261018[/snapback] Hey there's no better place to be at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon in the fall than at Ralph Wilson Stadium
BillsNYC Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 What baffles me is that the Dolphins usually get several prime time games every season. Personally...I want 16 1pm games. Nothing better. 4pm games are ok too because then you can usually get to sleep before the hangover stage sets in.
Talonz Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 what the hell does that mean? 260982[/snapback] I have seen him post 1-15 in other threads as well... Guess he thinks that is what the Bills record will be this year? OMFG - WERE DOOOOOOMED
gmac17 Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Part of the reason the Bills do not get on MNF more often is because they don't want to host those games or sunday night games. how many times do we have to dispell this?

Nothing better. 4pm games are ok too because then you can usually get to sleep before the hangover stage sets in. 261050[/snapback] Teams like the Steelers, Dolphins, Raiders, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, Bears, 49ers and Packers will always get at least one, if not more nighttime appearences, becasue they have large national followings. It does not really matter how good they were the past season, or what their outlook is for the upcoming season. In some cases it is due to long periods of success (Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins), the televison market share their cities draw, or both! Unfortunately (depending on your point of view) the Bills are one of those teams that has to have a successful stretch going on, to be on Monday night. Their tv market is small, and they don't have the history of success, or the huge national following that other, far inferior franchises have. Personally, I like it that way!

SF Bills Fan Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 The Dolphins could go 0-16 and still get MNF game. I actually don't like the Bills playing MNF games. We always seem to get wiped out. The Chiefs and Steelers are a few teams I recall getting killed by.
taterhill Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Hey there's no better place to be at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon in the fall than at Ralph Wilson Stadium 261044[/snapback] only being there at 7am...and watching the sun rise in the parking lot...good times

The Chiefs and Steelers are a few teams I recall getting killed by. 261149[/snapback] Yeah, but those games were all on the road ---- which is where the Bills always seem to be when they are on MNF. I'm trying to recall the last time I was at the Ralph for a monday nighter ...... I know they opened the season a few years back against Tennessee on a Sunday night., but can't recall a home MNF game
R. Rich Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 only being there at 7am...and watching the sun rise in the parking lot...good times 261153[/snapback] Are you nuts? Why would anyone go to the parking lot so early before a game?
MikeH Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Seems like we haven't been on Monday Night Football in ages. When was the last time? When does the 2005-06 schedule come out anyway? 260974[/snapback] The last time we were on MNF was in December 2000 vs. the Colts. That was the night when Wade declared we didn't have a shot at the playoffs ... while we still had a chance. We lost that night and were eliminated from contention. The NFL Schedule usually comes out in Mid-April ... before the Draft.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 vs Denver....1994.....the last home game on Monday night......damn...... Bet Arizona has hosted one since then.
