Looking at week 15 close, is there a chance of us getting a evening time shift /day?

[Mitchy moo]

If Both Miami and Bills keep winning is there a chance for it to be moved?

[BILLSROCK1212]

u must have skipped over KC and SD

[Mitchy moo]

u must have skipped over KC and SD

We'll they are at 4 PM already with 2 other duds so they already have a captive audience.

[Novacane]

If both teams keep winning you may be right. Dallas/ATL will likely be the networks choice though. Dallas vs Vick = ratings

[Novacane]

duh............just noticed that's a sat game. I'd say there a pretty good chance if we can keep winning

[Mitchy moo]

It's a sat game & Atlanta is spiraling down so vick and a 5-8 record then means 0.

[BILLSROCK1212]

If both teams keep winning you may be right. Dallas/ATL will likely be the networks choice though. Dallas vs Vick = ratings u know what though the networks can protect games and the KC vs SD must be one of them Dallas vs. Vick is prob their second choice and then possibly us if we continue to win

[Cntrygal]

I HATE the idea of time slots getting switched around.

[ajsdx]

I HATE the idea of time slots getting switched around.

why c-gal? just cause it mucks up travel plans? or something to do with the actual game?

[The_Philster]

I'm just glad they didn't switch today's game...only home game that I have to work the next day :ill:

[BlackMetalNinja]

I can see at least 4 games that would get picked ahead of us. Philly and the Giants because of the huge markets and the national love affair with the NFC East... Washington and New Orleans, though if Washington continues to stink, perhaps not... Pittsburgh and Carolina, Pittsburgh has a large following even though they suck and Carolina will be fighting for a playoff spot... and KC at San Diego is the most likely with huge playoff implications.

Keep in mind that a 1pm game can be moved to 4pm if they choose a 4pm game to go to the 8pm slot.

If I were to guess a Bills game that would make it to primetime, I'd say the last one at Baltimore is our only shot, dependant completely on us continuing to win and whether or not Baltimore is locked into a Playoff seed. Of course, I haven't even looked at the rest of that week's schedule either.

All that being said, I'd be quite surprised to see us get moved to a national tv spot.

[G. Host]

CBS and FOX have right to protect 5 games so there is not guarentee that Dallas/ATL will be available to be moved to evening.

I doubt any game including BUF/MIA will be moved to prime time even if Buffalo and Miami continue winning streaks until they meet.

[Cntrygal]

IF I were to travel to games - I normally plan REALLY far out in advance... so that would REALLY piss me off.

But here at home, I pretty much schedule EVERYTHING that I have to do around the posted gametime - and it would be a ***** to reschedule everything on short notice.

The first point was a point brought up,today in Rochester D&C today that the fans are really getting screwed by this flexible schedule BS. Everytime a fan misses a game due to change in schedule they hurt the team's fanbase. I am not willing to fly to late season games anymore when I plan on leaving on a late flight. Not all weekends I can commit a Monday to game so they lose sales when they least can afford it. Bad decision on my part.

The moving of games hurt a number of fans I know when Fox moved one of the games to 4 PM slot. One guy I know had to miss almost entire game because his family of 4 had air tickets which far too much to change from Florida.

[Mitchy moo]

Huh, they changed week 10 to 4:15 for us. I guess our games are starting to mean more already. I wonder if they will change more??

Jags play KC that week it will almost automatically get the SNF game

[G. Host]

Jags play KC that week it will almost automatically get the SNF game

Why? CBS and FOX have right to pull games back from contention so why should they help out NBC?
