Beerball Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 a Sunday 4:15pm home game? I live out of the area, and have for years but with DTV I am still able to catch all of the games. I can't remember a Sunday 4:15 start at home. How uncommon is that for Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Never. That usually happens to teams that play in the Western U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKO Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The last sunday game that was not played in the early slot, was against Indy two seasons ago, the one we almost won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTS Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Right, I couldn't figure that one out at all. We're playing the freaking Jets.. .why 4:15? 304158[/snapback] Because the Giants probably play at 1pm. They never have the Jets and Giants on at the same time I believe.

Mike32282 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The Bills/Jets game in 2003 was also a 4:15pm start, but I think they changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The last sunday game that was not played in the early slot, was against Indy two seasons ago, the one we almost won. 304157[/snapback] That is incorrect. I was at that game and it was a 1 p.m. start. The Redskins game 2 years ago I believe was moved back to 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't possible--I don't care how many millions live in NYC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I seem to remember more than a few Jets games, in Buffalo, beng 4pm (or 4:15) kick-offs. The NFL, for televison ratings, never schedules the Giants and Jets at the same time (unless they are playing eachother). NY is the largest television market, so thoeretically, the NFL gets the top share of the largest televison market, for 7 hours a week, during the football season. Good business sense!
