chongli Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 (edited) The NBC crew might as well stay in Detroit! There is no need to move the production truck and equipment. And Mike Tirico lives close by in Ann Arbor. Also: If the Bills win vs. Pittsburgh, we would get Nantz and Romo again in the divisional round. We would be 4-1 with Nantz and Romo calling our games this year: Week 4 vs. Miami (win) then three weeks in a row for us: Week 11 vs. New York Jets (win) Week 12 at Philadelphia (loss) [Week 13 bye] Week 14 at Kansas City (win) Super Wild card Weekend vs. Pittsburgh Edited January 15 by chongli Quote

chongli Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 Buck and Aikman will call their first AFC playoff game together next weekend with the Texans at the Ravens or Chiefs. Quote

CBS gets the late spot Sunday for only the second time in eight years. Also: Note the 2 PM time typo in the Sunday NBC early slot. (Trying to get viewers to tune in early I guess?!?!)

chongli Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 CBS is hoping for a Buffalo win so they don't have to move their production equipment, especially in the snow. Also: Divisional Round Winners: - CBS getting the 6:40 Sunday window with either KC-BUF or PIT-BAL. Ratings bonanza! - FOX getting the better NFC game, GB-SF over TB/PHI at DET. - NBC getting the better early timeslot, Sunday over Saturday. - ESPN/ABC finally getting a divisional playoff game! Likely hoping it's HOU-KC. Divisional Round Losers: - The Cowboys being eliminated is a big ratings blow to the networks and the NFL. FOX is probably rooting for PHI to win for a PHI vs. GB/SF title game. CBS for Super Bowl would take any of PHI/GB/SF with the Cowboys out. - Texans fans probably wish they would get a different slot other than Saturday afternoon, but not going to happen with GB-SF in play. - Seems like NBC always gets the lesser of AFC/NFC divisional games. Will that change in the future? Will ESPN/ABC get similar treatment now that they're in the rotation? We'll see. I don't think NBC is complaining about the wild card round though with KC on Peacock and an exciting LAR-DET Sunday night. 1 Quote
chongli Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 No #3 seed has ever hosted a divisional round game since the advent of the 7-team conference playoffs in 2020. In the previous three years, #2 seeds were 6-0 vs. the #7 seeds in the WC round. That changed today with #2 Dallas's loss to #7 Green Bay, so now #3 Detroit gets to host. Things are popping in the Motor City tonight. Ralph Wilson would be happy. Quote
TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 15 Posted January 15 So KC Bills game would either be for the chance to play home vs. Houston or @ Baltimore. Imagine if Houston upsets Baltimore, the media would proclaim the bills chiefs game the "defacto" afc championship game. Similar to the 13 second game . 1 Quote

Yeah, we'll know by game time (assuming we win vs. Pittsburgh). I can't see an upstart team like Houston going on the road and winning an AFCCG, especially in cold weather. Just like very new expansion team Jacksonville in 1996 who beat Buffalo in the WC (Jim Kelly's last game) and then Denver in the divsionals, but lost to New England and Drew Bledsoe in the AFCCG.

chongli Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 (edited) BTW, I was checking the Norwegian NFL schedule for next week, and I learned the Norwegian term for "playoffs" is "Slutspill", lol. Ok...this is really juvenile, lol, but it did catch my eye when I first read it. I thought maybe they were calling Mahommes a slut. https://www.vg.no/sport/kalender/amerikansk-fotball/6565ba93424ad6f380fb5d28 Edited January 15 by chongli 1 Quote
chongli Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 (edited) Schedule has been updated: Houston at Baltimore - Saturday 4:30 PM ET - ABC/ESPN Kansas City at Buffalo - Sunday 6:30 PM ET - CBS Edited January 16 by chongli Quote
chongli Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 (edited) Jay Feely as the kicking expert next week for us. No Evan Washburn, who sometimes in the second sideline reporter for the A-team in the playoffs. The CBS production crew can stay in Buffalo back-to-back playoff weeks for the second straight year.

UKBillFan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Maybe it's just me, but a 6.30pm ET time for Chiefs at Bills seems slightly close to the Bucs/Eagles at Lions game. If there's an injury, or it goes into OT, there could easily be an overlap between the two. Admittedly, on different channels but thought they'd at least push it out another 15 minutes like Saturday.
