duey Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Now I was sure I had read that the Bills had asked the NFL to refrain from scheduling Monday and Sunday night games in Buffalo due to the fact that this team draws from such a large area, and the Bills didn't want their fans driving 4 hours home at 2 in the morning. From TD's mouth comes the real story... Raul Nava Cossi (Mexico D.F.): I've been a great Buffalo Bills fan for about 14 years. Why hasn't ESPN or ABC given us a game at home on Sunday or Monday night for about the past 10 years? The last one I recall was Monday night against Cincinnati and Andre Reed still played that season. TD: The last Monday night game was in 1994 with Denver. We would welcome one. There has been some speculation that we have discouraged the League from giving us a Monday night game or a Sunday night game, but that is not the case. We would be excited to have one and hopefully next year when that schedule comes out, the Bills will be on it. WTF NFL?!?! We've had some decent teams since 1994. Of course, the Dolfags are always good for at least four prime time appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 its probably because al michaels and john fatso are scared of the cold weather and the lack of entertainment around these parts. we certainly cant compare to miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Last night game was Tennessee, home opener 2000 (and the First Annual TBD Tailgate). Jets game the year before was also a Sunday nighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'd rather see us be able to compete and win more consistently, to be honest. The few prime time games we have played recently have been an exercise in humility. The KC game comes to mind from last year. And I'm not exactly looking forward to playing the Patriots on Sunday night in two weeks. It's bad enough that we have to play the Patriots, but just the idea of playing the Patriots and listening to Paul McGuire gush about them makes me thankful for the mute button.

billsfanone Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm glad. I hate night games. I prefer 1 pm games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I think it sucks! I think night games are fun and it is a bigger home field advantage. Those games you reference Paco (KC and Pats) were/are away games. I think once this team is more competitive it will be a huge advantage to have NE or Pitt or another contender AT Buffalo rather than traveling to their home stadium to play in front of a jacked up MNF crowd. I think it is ridiculous how we used to always be scheduled AT Miami on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux of Borg Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm all for playing the Dolphins on monday night football. Preferably on Jan 3rd with the windchill at negative 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Now that was a fun day! 95901[/snapback] The first game I ever went to in Buffalo. It was great! We stayed all night. I didn't want to leave! Been pretty much down hill since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 i was at the Jets night game a few years ago... awesome game, we kicked their butts... it was like a week or two after Vinny blew his achillies and the Jets were down... I brought a friend of mine to his first NFL game and he watched more of the fights in the stands than he did the game. When we were walking out of the stadium, this Jets fan was bleeding from his face with a cop standing right next to him and he was saying "you saw that guy hit me, why don't you do something?" and the cop just looked at him like he was crazy.... couldn't believe it. hahahaha... that was a crazy night... sooooooo many fights and people running around on top of the new luxury boxes... crazy crazy night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLS4LIFE Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Some idiot Jets fan just put up a sign for TV that read: Hey John Madden - How about the Bills vs the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Lack of national exposure has certainly helped to "regionalize" this team a lot. Donahoe is full of bunk. Ralphie placed down his MNF Edict of 1994.....Vatican 3 style. "NO MORE WIRE HANG......ER NO MORE MNF GAMES EVAH!!!!!!!" Sad to see the Bills so far down on the national football radar.
