The All Things PLAYOFFS 2022 Thread

The day/time of our game will be released by the NFL sometime today— no later than during the MNF game and probably before— or at least a credible leak will emerge. Reading the tea leaves, I really think Dolphins-Bills is going to get flexed to SNF; which would then leave us to anchor their Sat slate as the primetime game. It’s still possibly that scenario could be reversed or Pats/Raiders stays on SNF and both our game and Bills game are played Sat, but my mildly educated guess is that we win up Sat primetime.

I'm hearing that the NFL doesn't want the Dolphins on Sunday Night two weeks in a row so they're more likely to be the Saturday Night game and we're probably gonna be the Saturday 4:30 game.

My son wants to go to the game so badly but I’m still not at a point where I can support Dan to the tune of near $400 after fees and parking for two tickets.

 

You can certainly get cheaper than that. If you get off the secondary market then maybe you are just paying for tickets that were already bought so your money is not going to Dan.

My kid is in a performance Sat. Please not Saturday!! Then I might have tickets for sale.

I tried SeatGeek and Ticketmaster.  Is there any way to get a parking pass on the low?

 

EDIT: Oh, I should probably add what I quoted is for 200’s and lower.  400’s have always been a no go for me.

Not sure where you are hearing that, but teams have played back to back on SNF before and the NFL is not afraid to do it. Also, Dolphins play this Sunday night at LA; having them play at Buffalo Sat shortens their prep time to sort of a max level once you consider travel. Could factor as well.

Ahh, good point. I sit in the 400's. LOL

Try the Classified's here for parking?

Yeah same. I mean I can watch the game there but it won't be fun at all with dozens of people around the vast majority of which don't know football at all and I'll be too distracted.

Yep, look at it like this: we all talked scenarios with a split. The tie yesterday eliminates that now. In terms of head to head with Giants, a tie + win is about the same as a sweep, because it gives you the outright tie-breaker. Had we split there was still a way the Giants could earn the tiebreaker. Now, that’s out the window. We essentially erased the game at Giants and made it a one game series. It’s like the game at Met Life got cancelled and we won a coin toss to see where the deciding game would be played. 

UNLESS we tie again...  :D

I thought flex schedule only applies to times not days?

 

See from NFL website.

 

Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 PM and 4:05 PM or 4:25 PM ET. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights.

Edit- NM. I see that the NFL never actually scheduled a day for this game. Just Washington's schedule always had it on Sunday.

That sucks. Lots of people (including me) have work Xmas parties that weekend.

(I'd skip the party. But still)

Mostly, yes you’re correct. But the NFL, for the past few years (as recent as 2018), has had 5 games the weekend before Christmas that they choose from, and 3 of those 5 games get played on Saturday. Our game against the titans in Nashville in 2018 was one of those, it got moved from Sunday to Saturday, and it was a 4:30 game. 
 

3 of those 5 games are the exception to that flex scheduling rule.

And with people who don't care about football...and I don't drink...no reason to be there. Why do you have to go? I've been blowing my friends off for a while, can't anymore.

You're hearing?...Does that mean you have league sources?

Wife and I committed to it a while ago and I'd be murdered if I didn't go.

Ive come to understand i got a problem / addiction

 

My Companies Xmas is Sat night. Told the wife game could be during party and she knew "Guess we might not make party"

 

Of course she is more pissed that her families big Xmas eve dinner will have me watching the game on my phone during the dinner.  

But its not a "Divorce fight" because she knows who she married.

My friend knows I'm a fan and will have the game on TV so me and like the one other person who likes football can watch the game. It'll just suck watching while being distracted.

 

Maybe we can jump out to like a 21-0 lead and I can just chill "lolol"

 

4:30 slot is fine. At the very least I can watch and we can show up to the party a little bit late.

Sick brag by everyone who has a party to go to.  Shout out to your social life and/or your employment.

If you feel a work Xmas party is a brag, you have never been to a work holiday party. LOL

If you have a lot of fun, you are prob getting fired.
