According to The506 Twitter account (the one that does all the broadcast maps), early indications are that this game is going to be aired nationally in just about every market it's allowed to, which is probably a curse for the Bills.

They don't flex games this early, do they? I guess they should have flexed the Cheifs / Ravens game yesterday for that reason.

I don't want it flexed, Pats are great on prime time, Bills, not so much. (not that it really matters what time the game is played, Pats / Brady have owned us)

Watching the 4pm games on NFL RedZone yesterday, I just wish Josh Allen had one more big-time playmaker that Mason Rudolph (Smith-Schuster) and Daniel Jones (Evan Engram) have.
- buffalofan19


Allen has had those plays opened and over threw them.

Giants game it was brown deep and yesterday it was zay wide open.

Risto not practicing due to "Illness". Might be the same "illness" that Jalen Ramsey has......

I saw the "allstate" good hands guy yeldon: eating butter pop corn before the game.

Yeldon ran behind a terrible o line in Jacksonville the past few years, so now he cant hit a hole?

As weird as it is (because of known big arm) Josh has missed a lot of those deep throws. Maybe he should roll out and throw them on a full sprint, maybe that will take some off those throws.

No. The way I understand it, the "early" flex period does not begin until Week 5. The league is only allowed to flex 2 of a total of 6 games played between Weeks 5 and 10.

Then in Weeks 11-15, and Week 17, it can flex as many games as it wants.

In Week 16, there are five or six "TBD" games (including Buffalo at New England) which could be moved to Saturday (NFL Network) and Sunday Night (NBC).

The only potential "flex" games I could see the Bills getting is Week 8 against Philadelphia and Week 10 at Cleveland (and that's only if they get their poop together). I guess the game at Pittsburgh could be one simply because Pittsburgh has one of the best TV draws in the NFL. EDIT: I forgot about Week 14 vs. Baltimore, but we would have to see if both teams can maintain their current play.

Jalen said he has the "flu" and told team he still wants to be traded, trying to force the trade.

I never said he would be the starter, i said he would make the team
I was right, you were wrong

he did get 4.9 yards per touch yesterday

but please continue and make it your every 5th post for the next 6 months

In both the Steelers and Giants games yesterday, both Mason Rudolph and Daniel Jones had mid-range, 10-15 yard passes, go for 60-70 yard touchdown because guys just outran everybody. The Bills need a guy that can do that. They don't have one yet.

Thanks for the info! I do hope we don't get flexed, I think the Bills somehow lose in terrible fashion when in prime time.

I could see the Pats game (if the division is still in reach) and with the Cowboys (Thanksgiving game), that is enough for me (although the build up is amazing).

A Sunday night home game would be great. Can we please no flex the patriots game. I will take Romo and Nance at 1 pm.

We can play any other team prime time, just not the pats

Keep in mind, the networks are allowed to move games after Week 5 as well. In other words, CBS or Fox could move a Bills game from 1pm to 4:25 and bring their national crew in for a larger audience if the network has a double-header for this week.

They can't do that this week (it's only Week 4), but it's very likely that CBS brings in Nantz and Romo to do this game, and broadcast it everywhere that isn't required to broadcast a different game due to regional rules.

They can't flex until Week 5, so it's staying at 1pm. However, I would be shocked if we didn't get Nantz and Romo at this point.

#Sabres running some line drills look thusly:
Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart
Vesey-Mittelstadt-Rodrigues
Skinner-Johansson-Okposo
Girgensons-Sobotka-Thompson
Asplund-Lazar-Elie

Cozens rotating in

Dahlin-Nelson
Scandella-Miller
Gilmour-Borgen with Jokiharju rotating in


This is sad news and Botts is pushing for Thompson way to much.
