flex games

Anyone think the bills get a chance to have a sunday night game at the Ralph or maybe a game on the road on sunday night?

Re: flex games

Week 12,14, or 17 would make the most sense.

Re: flex games

If we keep this up, I can see the Jan. 1st game being flexed into Sunday Night against the Pats.

Re: flex games

I hope not. The past few years the team has preformed like crap on primetime.

Re: flex games

All games for week 17 are played during the day. There's no night game.

If they keep winning though, they're definitely a candidate for a flex game since they're one of the only teams who don't play in prime time this year and they're exciting to watch.

Nevertheless, I'd be interested to see a how a team coached by Gailey performs under the lights.

Re: flex games

Only weeks I see possible are week 12 and 13, the other weeks have good games.

Re: flex games

As an out-of-towner, a flex game would be nice because it would allow me to watch the team at home. But, I hope we don't get one because I hate the flex policy.

First, it makes it difficult on fans who have to travel for the game. Even people coming from Rochester get hosed because they won't get home until 2 in the morning. It makes it less likely for me to travel to the games knowing the NFL could change the time and screw up my travel plans, and I know I'm not the only one.

Second, as nbf pointed out, the Bills play like crap on nationally televised night games. Granted, things appear to be different now, but I'd rather not take the chance.

Re: flex games

not worried about the bills playing like crap on primetime this year. this team has a focus and if you read a lot of the post game comments, they are just flat out prepared. time adn time again you read, "we knew that play was coming."

That's straight up out coaching another team.

as for the travel concerns, yeah, that blows.

Hard to say - what with the compressed bye-week scheme.

Re: flex games

Week 17 could be flexed

I think the at Jets game the end of November will be flexed. Replaces Steelers at Chiefs.

Yeah go figure, a crappy team playing like crap on National TV. Who would have thunk it.
