wagon127 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 And people argued about it not being prime time, when clearly prime time doesnt matter in the playoffs. Quote

They may not be the cowboys but they have every bit the national following after the last few years of a team like the Packers or Steelers Bills games are must-see TV. Bengals game is going to smash all the records too. Bills are the most popular team in the league. 4 Quote

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 How could it not be the most viewed when the game was 4 hours long? In all seriousness it's how exciting JA is to watch (the good and the bad) in combination with the Damar incident. Quote
NewEra Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Impressive- largest WC spread ever and it’s the most watched in 9 years. Quote
dma0034 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 If the Bills get to the Superbowl against the 49ers or Cowboys I think it will be the most watched Superbowl Quote
clayboy54 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 People all over the world wanted to see if Wilkens was getting grabby with JA again. 1 Quote
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I guess folks started to tune in hoping to see another upset after the night before. 22 minutes ago, QCity said: No, they tuned in to watch their game, and when it wasn't on they switched stations to see what was going on. Not hard to grasp. That does make sense. I recall they said they delayed the start of that game by 20 or 30 minutes. By the time the Bills game ended and I switched to the Fox game it was around 10 minutes left in the first quarter. I never even realized our game was 4 hours long. Felt like a normal length game to me. 1 Quote
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, UKBillFan said: Stunning figures but the Divisional scheduling just confuses me more off the back of it. The Bengals-Bills game, with all the background surrounding it, which is sure to grab neutral interest, gets given an afternoon slot? Despite the Bills drawing in the viewers? To put it simply, I don’t understand that. Plus, why not have the two AFC games play on the same day and the two NFC games play on the same day? As it is, the number one seeds, already coming off a bye, also get an advantage of an extra day’s break too (dependent on whether they beat the Jaguars/Giants). To me: Saturday afternoon: Jaguars-Chiefs Saturday primetime: Bengals-Bills Sunday afternoon: Giants-Eagles Sunday primetime: Cowboys or Buccaneers-49ers would make more sense. Sunday...maybe the most watched Sunday division round in League history. The most watched Monday night game in 22 years, which was never finished, is now a playoff game? Followed by one of the great playoff rivalries (just being honest) of all time being renewed and it isn't just in name only with both teams being pretty good, equal to the highest win total of the weekend...which is the game played earlier that afternoon. I am unwavering in this now as I have been for many years of my life. What is my all time favorite sports period? Without blinking...the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Always has been, always will be. GO BILLS! Edited January 17, 2023 by dollars 2 donuts 1 Quote

Giants-Eagles is a big time matchup too between two big market teams. Quote
SCBills Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Some of it was probably the fact it was a close game (although pretty much every WC game was close going into the 4th aside from DAL/TB).. most of it is the Bills/Allen. People tune in for QB's. There's a reason they are so protected. Of the Top 5/6 QB's, only Allen & Mahomes are really must watch.. add in Lamar, if you have him ranked that high. Quote

The Chiefs & Eagles had bye weeks, so it's understandable that they would get the Saturday games, since they've had plenty of time off. 49'ers are on the west coast and there is no way they would play their game at Noon Pacific time.

jkeerie Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Watching the replay...Romo consistently jinxed the Bills in this game. I was begging him to stuff a sock in it and shut the @$!# up! Quote
Dr.Sack Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Allen & company are must see TV. Don’t have enough drama in your life? Watch the Buffalo Bills, become a fan! Quote

In fairness, I put the 49ers in primetime! That's the advantage of the bye. I think having an extra day now matters less than having an extra day heading into next week. Quote

No way Giants Eagles isn’t in prime time with markets ##1 and 6. I spoke with a member of the media about the TV schedule on the way out of the WC game and the consensus among everyone there was that we would land on Sunday afternoon if the Giants won. I’m dumbfounded by the ratings for our 1p game, but I can’t see how anyone knocks two huge markets out of a prime time playoff game. Quote
