Bills willing to host MNF?

This is a departure from Ralph's statements earlier. I hope it happens at least once next season!

(thursday season opener would be cool)




Bills' rising stock will bring night games into play

[Buffalo News] Bills President and General Manager Tom Donahoe reports the Bills are willing to host a Monday night game. I was surprised they didn't get one this year, after their improvement last season. The schedule comes out about April 1. I'd bet if the schedule came out June 1, after all the offseason player movement occurred - which isn't feasible - they would have been given one. The last home Monday night game was way back in 1994, against Denver

I heard a rumor on the radio this morning.

Turns out that there is a Hurricane heading straight for Miami. We all know that these things change paths, but if it doesn't, it's possible it could hit Miami next Sunday. The same nite we play in Miami.

Well the rumor is that the NFL is looking into possibly switching the Bills/Phins games this season so that we'd get the Sunday nighter next week and Miami would be home in December!.

Like I said, it's just a rumor, but I could see the league doing it, if the danger exists!


I’d miss having Miami in the cold, but I’d love to have a night home game against the Fins. CRAZY!!!!!

That kind of change would make it very difficult for those of us that travel long distances to the Ralph.

It could affect our game I just hope it turns north otherwise all of south florida is going to feel it and I live in southwest florida.

[Patrick76777]

I live about 5 minutes from the stadium. I'm good to go. A sunday nighter would be sweet!

Are you kidding about this hurricane ? I can't believe this. I've already paid for flight, hotel ,and tickets for next Sunday nights game.

Look at the weather channel yourself!:)

[Patrick76777]

Looking at the projected path, it looks like it's going to hit next Friday or so, but what do I know, I'm no Meteorologist!


But I could see the league changing the game just to be on the safe side.

[fabolouspaul]

Is this just a rumor or has there really been talks about changing the venue?

[ryven]

patrick you may not be a meteorologist but its like predicting how much snow buffaflo will get there. there is no answer untill it happens but there a good chance that there are going to get hit hard if they get hit by the time it gets here it will probably be a cat.5 hurricane.

[Dozerdog]

It's happened before - the league has moved/swapped dates for football for safety reasons or just after a storm.

[Dozerdog]

Just checked the schedule, Buffalo and Miami DO NOT share a common bye week- usually that's the first option

That's why I think it could happen!

The League will probably hold off any decisons until next Wed/ Thur

Man, I would love to see the Bills at home on Primetime. The people across the US needs to hear how loud we are!!
