The Bills had 24,000 tickets available for their Week 16 home game against the Broncos. According to NFL blackout rules, games cannot be televised locally if the game does not sellout at least 72 hours prior to the game. The league does allow for corporate partners to help with ticket purchases, and they even offer teams an extension of the 72-hour deadline if they're only short a few thousand tickets.
Blackouts are part of life for football fans in Buffalo. This is the Bills' final home game of the season and the third blackout. After a 4-1 start to the season, Buffalo has lost their last seven games.
What a sorry situation for that franchise and those fans.

Oh, how the Bills have spiraled out of control. They had their franchise QB, a playmaking defense, and the best running back in the league. Now they have none of those. And now this.

Yup. Not even the chance to see Tebow live could save this franchise. I know that times are tough there too, and in a sense I feel sorry for those folks, but almost all the problems this franchise has is the direct result of their owner's decisions.
If this was the JESTS I wouldn't shed a tear, though.

This is the game the broadcast maps have showing to the majority of the country. Does this mean that I have a chance to still see the Pats game here in SC?

Probably not.
A blackout only applies to the home market; it doesn't prevent nationwide broadcast.

Sadly, no. Unless you have Sunday Ticket, you'll still be getting the Broncos/Bills game.

Can you blame the fans for not wanting to go to the game? It's the same thing year in year out for Bills fans. Hell, the city in general has had bad luck with their sporting teams.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."
