I click that link, it says 1pm on the page I see. For every game except the two that aren't.

Here is what I see:

My guess is NFL.com is using a funky javascript which shows time different on Firefox. Explains why it cores 90% of the time when I do not use IE.

It's the G.Host clause

If the Bills website required me to use IE only and the Fins website allowed other browsers, I'd surf on the Fins website for Bills news. I do not change browsers unless I am paid to (i.e. expense reports) and absolutely never pay out money to businesses which require IE (i.e. banks, shopping sites).

What's weird is, Daylight Saving Time ends November 4th this year. That's the day we put our clocks back. It's also the first date that the times are listed as 2pm (from there forward) on the page you show. So, in essence, we actually are starting games at 2pm DAYLIGHT time, although it will actually be back to STANDARD time.

I wonder if there is a correlation.

They could have the time zones screwed up? I know when I went to the Bills Texans game last year...that game started @ 12:00pm

That is the coorelation I was talking about - the script they use works IE ie only.

That was Central time which is why it started at 12 local time.

Firefox only it appears - works with Netscape 7.1

it also works with my Firefox, though.

This actually happened with my fantasy football league last year, and it screwed my pretty good, perhaps if you close your browser and/or restart your comp it will reset itself.
