Cant remember the last time we had this many opportunities.
The Super Bowl re match will be hard not to have in prime time

Between the Rams and Seahawks, and any possible Thursday Night game, I think Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will finally have to do a game here.

The rest of the AFC is officially on notice now. The Bills are going to the playoffs, and that oughta be a frightening thought for the rest of the conference's Super Bowl contenders.

It's nice that Olofsson worked out on Eichel's line, but that doesn't mean the sabres don't need Skinner, which is presumably Pegullaville's point

I can't do anymore Skinner debates anyway

He’s irrelevant, but when he doesn’t produce it needs to be brought up every game.

Seems relevant

Botterill is "ecstatic" that Bogosian is drawing back into the lineup.

Somehow people can't be happy enough that the Bills made the playoffs, so I figured I'd take a poop right here and let some of you clean it up.

I didn't realize Olafsson qualifies as a "rookie." leading all rookies in points and goals right now. It would be cool to see him get the calder

I am not going to Foxboro unfortunately unless something drastic happens.

My Bills roadtrips all depend on the schedule.

I think Houston all but won the division by beating the Titans yesterday, so Tennessee will be the road matchup next year. I might try it depending on the date. I have a wedding to go to in the Tampa area in early November.

They could be set up for a heavier prime time schedule next year.

Home Kansas City.
Home Pittsburgh.
Home LA Rams.
Home Seattle.
Home New England.

At San Francisco
At New England.

The Jets are always a possibility too depending on what they do in the offseason.

At san fran
At arizona
At vegas
At Denver
At Tennessee maybe?

I'm hoping the 49ers game is on a long weekend.

I doubt anybody but San Francisco or New England would be a primetime game. Even then, I could see them getting the 4:25 double header slot. The Bills have a ton of marquee opponents at home this year, though.

The Bills by themselves aren't going to be a national TV draw unless they start winning multiple Super Bowls. At this point, it's still going to be about who they face. The big reason last night's game got flexed is because of how big of a TV draw Pittsburgh is as well.

I doubt he keeps up that pace all year long. I still think 30 is the high end for him.

Didnt a team with zero super bowls and is a sub 500 team have multiple prime-time games this year?

there is no reason not to think olofsson will easily get 16 more goals if playing 48 more games on eichel's wing


in fact if the three stay healthy and intact


jack gets 50 goals

reinhart and olofsson get over 30 goals

I assume you are talking about Cleveland?

They are also a Top 20 TV market in the US with some whacky headlines. Buffalo is #52.

I have long held if the NFL could get away with erasing/relocating Green Bay and Buffalo, it would. It obviously would lose a lot of goodwill if it did, though.

Right, but look at the opponents: Dallas, Pittsburgh, New England. Dallas and New England might possibly be the two most talked about teams in the league over the past decade, though for different reasons. Pittsburgh and the Rooneys are NFL royalty.

The NFL would never take a random non-rivalry matchup like Bills-Broncos for example, and make it primetime unless both teams were really, really good.
