Predictable times are a blessing and early Sunday is by far the least impactful on the work week. 8 minutes ago, Irv said: 100%. Last two night games got home to Rochester at 3AM and 4AM. Never again. roll those on Monday or Thursday and it blows up two business days. At least Sunday is free pre game 2 Quote
wjag Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Enjoying the R-E-S-P-E-C-T.. When you look at the schedule, there are so many potential game of the week games for the Bills @Jets @Chiefs @Mia @Eagles @Bengals Mia Dal Maybe if they get their sh!t together @Chargers Quote
SoMAn Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 This was exactly the reason I didn't sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket for the first time in 25 years. There will only be a small handful of games not shown locally (in Atlanta), and for the few that aren't shown, there's streaming, Bills Backers bar, or watching once the live game commences, immediately after it's rebroadcast with NFL+ subscription. Last week did I some other things at 1pm, avoided hearing the scores, and started watching the Bills/Commodes game at 4:10 with NFL+ app. First time doing that. Was pleased that it zipped right along skipping prolonged commercial breaks. The only real down side was missing the ongoing action at 1pm and then relaxing with another game at 4:30. But, I don't normally dedicate an entire day to watching anyway. Quote
plenzmd1 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 I LOVE the 4 PM games . Love them! That being said, the Jets keep playing bad that game getting flexed to 1PM , so add that one back in the 1PM start times 1 Quote

And then lots of random days through the year for Bills games ha. off my face don't where i am, because im in Ibiza with GunnerBills man. 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: Nah there is no standard holiday in the UK.

When the schedule came out and it was talked about how they only had five early Sunday games all year it didn’t sound as significant…but playing three of them in the first four weeks brings it home. I wistfully long for the days when the Bills flew under the radar ( to no where in particular), there was no stress of performing on the national state, my schedule was very predictable with all noon games (save for the obligatory Thursday night football game). I hope to tell my grandchildren about those days as they wouldn't have a clue what a loser Bills team feels like Quote

We’re a national draw from here on out. Go Bills! Squish the Fish! 19 and 1, Babyyyyyyyyy!!! Yeah I remember posting something about between the Oct 1st game against the Fins coming up and the Dec 31st game, we only have 2 1pm kickoffs...that is CRAZY to think about. Quote

We can't start watching a movie after 8:30pm without falling asleep on the sofa halfway through it. Afternoon naps are a fairly regular part of the day, especially when Bills play at night. boomer I am. 62. I don't even make it until 8:30, lol afternoon naps are essential. 1 Quote

On a similar note, I will be waking up at 3:30 am over the next several weeks to see the World Cup cricket matches so my productivity at work is going to take a dip (sssshhh). Too much sports, too little time. I wish I could retire as there is so much to do outside of work ! Quote
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Yeah, but stupid Bears are polluting the airwaves here AND I ain't about to pay rip YouTube/SundayTicket rates! Quote

eball Posted September 28, 2023 Author Posted September 28, 2023 To hear some of you whine, you'd rather the Bills be mediocre again so you can enjoy your 1 pm Sunday games. Geesh. Quote

I was tempted to do the same, but I decided to splurge anyway. I figured that on days when the Bills are on prime time or late Sunday afternoon, at least I can choose which early game to watch. Quote
Buffalo03 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 1pm truther Bills fans are literally the only fan base that I think would petition the NFL for a Bills 1pm Super Bowl Game time 6:30pm 1pm truthers: "hate it. Wish it was 1pm Sunday" lol Quote

If the Bills aren't playing, just being able to do the 2, 3, or 4 game multiview makes it worth it for me. 1 Quote
Billsfan1972 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Next week vs. Jax I was excited for a morning start and then realized it is Canadian Thanksgiving and driving to MIL's for noon (90 minute drive). Now will maybe watch the first half and tape the rest (or stay pre-occupied the morning), ignore all other Sunday games and watch when back around 6:00. Was so looking forward to it. Quote
