When did they move this coming week's game to 4:15 too??? I saw during the game Sunday that next week's CBS schedule has us as a late game now. It kind of sucks because if they don't broadcast them locally, which is highly unlikely, I might not get to see either of them. I can get away to the bar for early Sunday games but I'm not sure I can pull off a late game, especially 2 weeks in a row!

Yuck.

That makes for a long day and a drunken obnoxious crowd.

And I am out of vacation time, so I can't even tke Monday off.

But why was it moved? Both teams are out of the hunt.

Well, this annoys me as I prefer 1pm games. But as least now I can take a nap before I leave for the Ralph. :up:

They probably moved one of the late games for the Night game and then had to move a 1pm game back...

The only way this is a good thing for me is if they actually broadcast it locally, but I find that doubtful.

I would guess that one of the 4 o'clock games was moved to SNF
Look at it this way, Mikey...you can be on time for a change :D

I will most likely take a nap on the couch and set my alarm and then leave Rochester at 10am. :up:

I hate the 4:00PM game, I usually have a bunch of beers in me by then.

Oh well.

More time to party before the game.

definitely, because I will certainly be taking a nap right after work. There's no way I would be able to drive home 24 hours after waking up. I can barely do it when I leave Buffalo at 6pm. Leaving at 10 or later would be brutal with no sleep. :ill:

the snow or cold may not go well for Willis.

Awesome!

Because of this, the game this week vs. the Jets is on locally for me.

Hopefully this means the Fins game will be as well.

First Bills game on the new TV! WOOOOOOOOOO!

Too bad it's not in HD. Oh well it's still on.

That basically eliminates any chance of the Bills game being in HD.

That will make 5 weeks in a row, since this week's game won't be in HD either.

**** CBS.

BAM
12-05-2006, 11:54 AM
I'm just happy to be able to watch it from my couch again, for only the 3rd time this year.

Dolphins would make it 4. :pray:

I'm glad I spent $100 to direct tv for the upgraded HD package, lol.

Skooby I don't think it matters. Doesn't CBS have to broadcast it in HD?

CBS has to broadcast it, but there is no requirement for it to be in HD yet. At the moment, CBS only has 3 HD games a week, which is ridiculous since Fox has 6. It makes CBS look really cheap.
