mbs Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 I'm a cord cutter with streaming sunday ticket, so I hope this game is OTA. I already have to buy a month of streaming cable service for each of the two Bills MNF games otherwise I'll have to keep going to illicit streaming sites and I could lose interest in giving the NFL hundreds of dollars per year.
Chandler#81 Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Bring it! Very cool way to close out SUPER WILD CARD PLAYOFF WEEKEND! (I just hope it’s not the Bills. I gotta work that night!) 1 2

That's when the top teams play and the stakes are highest. Isn't that where you want to be? 1PM Sunday is nice here and there, but that's Jaguars vs Texans territory. there you go brother. You said it right. Primetime is the right time. That people always have a bunch of negativity about things like this is ridiculous. Football is awesome. Be happy every year that we make the playoffs. Who cares what the time and date is. The Bills-Colts game was an amazingly exciting game and it was played at 1:00 pm on Saturday. And maybe this year we play at 8:15 on Monday Nite of Wild Card weekend. It doesn't matter, because we are in the playoffs!! 2

It doesn't matter, because we are in the playoffs!! YES! After decades of being irrelevant I want the Bills on the biggest stage, with the A-team of broadcasters and all the national attention. Otherwise, what's the goal? You don't "sneak" into the Super Bowl. 1

The Monday schedule allows you a day of rest before the first playoff game AND you know who your next opponent will be before you play. Something to be said for that. Did not consider that. Duly noted. I enjoy an expedited jump to conclusion.

Buffalo Junction Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 I assume they won’t be scheduling the 2 seed vs 7 seed games for MNF. That’d be a serious disadvantage for a 7 seed that gets an upset….. Short week for a game against an opponent coming off a bye
wjag Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 I would imagine a mid-January night game in Buffalo where the sun goes down at 5:00 would be fricking cold.. I'm here for that.
Don Otreply Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) How wonderful will it be to watch teams that would until now not be considered good enough to be in the post season, what’s next, five years from now even more mediocre teams get in the playoffs, everyone gets a star ⭐️, let’s water down the post season till all the bad teams get in… Edited September 25, 2021 by Don Otreply

Horrible idea that I want the Bills to be no part of…unless they play that team the following week… How is it any different from playing a wildcard game on a Sunday and then a Saturday game for the divisional round?

Someone already covered that with me. Read the thread. For goodness sake. Read the darn thread. I don’t accept being made to look like an ass twice in the same thread the same way based on the same post. 1
Xwnyer Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Stupid idea and really hurts the winners arrpach to next week

No doubt there were at least two teams who didn't make the playoffs but deserved it more than WFT did. Before, ~38% of the teams made the playoffs. Now it's ~44%. Not a huge difference. But I think we all know the reason isn't competition, it's money. They'll rake in a ton of TV revenue on the extra games.
