LOL My take on flex games is the league doesn't like to move them unless the scheduled game is really terrible and there's a much much better game to takes it's place. Having said that I think Minn is good enough that they'd like to keep on Sunday night, and not sure Buffalo Pitt is that attractive to take it's slot. Don't know what the 4:00 games are, may be take the spot of one of them?? The Chargers aren't really a ratings draw, especially since they are basically out of the WC race. If FOX protects the Dallas game, Bills/Steelers is really the only viable option. Assuming Pitt doesn't lose to Cinci, they'll have a winning record or be 500 when the decision is made. The pun intended wild card is if Carolina wins the next two gets close enough to challenge Seattle for a WC.

Playing the majority of games at 1pm on sundays gets players in a habit of sorts. Throw in the fact that it will probably be the first REAL away game this year, as Pittsburgh is in a playoff race and tickets are scarce at the moment (I know of many fans going to Dallas). Having said that, getting a national TV game will be great experience for 17, 27, 49, 88 and other young players as the playoffs near. Are we poor? Or do we just seem to play the Patriots in prime time games?

Be tired for work the next day and stop being so rigid in your Sunday routines. We will see a lot of night games in the years to come with Josh Allen Night games suck, but that’s just me ? I don’t whine, I express myself concisely, you are the one whining ? Edited November 21, 2019 by Don Otreply 3 1

corta765 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 God I hope not we are going to the game with the goal of being back in Buffalo by 8-9 pm... so its probably going to be a SNF game haha 1

jeffalb3 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Texans Titans could very well be Sunday night game also, could be for the division lead. They also play each other in week 17 so they might hold off on that week 15 game for SNF and hope that week 17 game is for the division and than that game would get flexed to SNF.

Augie Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) If I’m a fan with a ticket, I think that would suck almost 100% of the time. If I sign up for one thing, any surprises are probably unwelcome. Maybe that’s just me. . Edited November 22, 2019 by Augie 2

I certainly hope you go and represent, but I get wanting to know what the deal is. There are other (albeit far less important) things in life to consider.

judman Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I'll be there. I have some great seats for the game whenever it is. I already took the next day off, so if they flex it I'd be okay with it, I guess... But I'd prefer 1 pm.
Max Fischer Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 National games give me anxiety. I know it’s not accurate but I feel the Bills lose every time there’s a large audience.
eball Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 The Bills have not appeared on Sunday Night Football since it became the "game of the week" with Michaels and Collinsworth. It would be awesome to be flexed into that spot at Pittsburgh and then go out and pound the Stillers.
Mike in Horseheads Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I hope not, Bills belong at 1pm ET to align with my beer schedule
