YoloinOhio Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Bills and fans get national spotlight, but there's still nostalgia for those 1 p.m. Sunday games https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/bills-and-fans-get-national-spotlight-but-theres-still-nostalgia-for-those-1-p-m/article_493a9cd6-367c-11eb-8a58-cfee1cd555bd.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1 Quote But while many players are excited to step into the national spotlight, some fans are complaining about the upcoming stretch, as evidenced on the popular fan message board TwoBillsDrive.com. A selection of comments from one thread: "My Sunday's 1:00 pm Buffalo slot is now in shambles!!!!" "I like the 1 pm Sunday kickoff. Going to work the morning after a Bills primetime game is rough." "Already told the boss that next Tuesday I'll be in late around 9:30am after my 'dentist appointment.'" "I for one, would be happy to never, ever see another Buffalo Bills MNF, SNF game. I like 1p Sunday just fine. Unless it is a compelling MNF/SNF game, I don't watch. I dislike TNF immensely. 1p Sunday is the natural biorhythm of Buffalo Bills football." I like having this problem though as it means we are on to great things." Edited December 7, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2 4 5

RoyBatty is alive Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I think the Buffalo News selecting quotes from TBD is more of an indictment of the lack of creativity against the Buffalo News then credit to TBD. 1

Greg S Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 People need to get used to this. Plus all of these primetime games the Bills are getting show that Beane and McDermott are doing a good job in rebuilding the Bills. Wait until next year (hopefully things are back to normal) when fans are going to be leaving the stadium after a primetime game. Think of what time you will be getting home from that. At least this year you can watch it from home and then go right to bed. Its the price fans have to pay when their team is good. 1

Win or Lose. Any loss is much worse at this time of the season with the playoffs 6 weeks away. Every game matters. The Wins are generally OK, but it gets real exciting when we play the top teams and a W is nice against say the Pats* or in this case the Steelers next week.

DrDawkinstein Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Not only do I not like games outside of 1pm Sunday, to further the curmudgeonly old man trope, I also dont like when the board is mentioned in the news and attracts a fresh round of newbs and trolls. Get off my lawn, and STAY off my lawn! 4 3 1
