Where'd you hear that?So the Bills host the Ravens on Sunday at a TBD time.

Per ESPN.comWhere'd you hear that?
They're listing both HOU-KC and BAL-BUF at Sunday at 1:00 right now. I don't even think that's a game slot, so I wouldn't put a lot of credence on it.ESPN Bet had them posted as Sunday game
I wonder if the Bandits would change their start time if the Bills play on Saturday? I know the Sabres have done that in the past when it conflicted with Bills playoff games. If not, that building is going to be empty for their game (at least relatively empty, by their standards. Still probably get more people than the rest of the NLL pulls week-to-week.).Please please please give us a Sunday time slot. I have the Bandits game on Saturday.
At least the only games left are NFC games this weekend so I can have them on but don’t have to pay super close attention.
As I'm typing this, both HOU-KC and BUF-BAL are listed at 1:00 PM ET on Jan 18 on ESPNBet. So that'd be Saturday.They're listing both HOU-KC and BAL-BUF at Sunday at 1:00 right now. I don't even think that's a game slot, so I wouldn't put a lot of credence on it.
That said, I'd be shocked if they aren't the Sunday night game. Checks a lot of boxes - #1 seed playing Saturday and getting the extra day rest for the conference championship, easily the best (most narrative filled) game of the 4, none of the final 4 in the AFC will have to play on less than regular rest....
EDIT: Interestingly, ESPN.com does have KC-HOU as TBD Saturday and BUF-BAL as Sunday (although the fine print says "Divisional round playoffs, JAN 18th or 19th"). Don't think the NFL has announced anything but I wonder if it was already decided based on factors I pointed out above.
They went from Saturday to Friday a few years back when we had a Saturday game. Which doesn’t help me cause of my bowling league on Fridays. I want the Sunday game so I can go to bandits and watch bills.I wonder if the Bandits would change their start time if the Bills play on Saturday?

Bills traded up to get one. Chiefs traded up to get one. Ravens traded up to get one.Finding a QB1 in the nfl is like finding a 1C in the nhl. You’re not going to find one in free agency. And unless you’re drafting one, they’re almost impossible to acquire. Tomlins won a SB with Ben at QB. He lost to GB 2 years later. I’m not suggesting he’s a perfect HC. He has his warts. I’m just saying the roster he’s been given post Ben, hasn’t been a SB threat. No coach would have won with that roster.
Tomlin has maintained a 500+ record each season hes coachrd. Maybe hed getting more out of their players.Finding a QB1 in the nfl is like finding a 1C in the nhl.

Big ben lasted till 2021. If the drafted a QB in 2018 hed br sitting 4 yrs. Thrh drafted Rudolph in 2nd iircBills traded up to get one. Chiefs traded up to get one. Ravens traded up to get one.
Steelers literally could've drafted Lamar Jackson, but drafted Terrell Edmunds instead.
There have been numerous opportunities for them to draft one. The one time they decided to draft one was Kenny Pickett, which was like drafting EJ Manuel in the first.
Ben also won a SB without him. He had plenty of years with Big Ben, prime AB, and prime Bell to just get blown out in the AFC championship.
Mike Tomlin has a huge say on the roster & who they draft. That's common knowledge. He has the most pull in that organization. It's his roster. Not one that was just given to him without any of his input.
