Why we play in KC EVERY year ... or at least why it feels that way.
damj replied to damj's topic in The Stadium Wall
The two division placement games are on the same cycle, but offset by 1 year which is why there is always the possibility of 3 straight at one stadium (assuming both teams end up in the same place in the division). -

Same here! I'm looking forward to getting them here for 3 years in a row. -

I think it's been this way since the league went to 4 divisions of 4 teams each, but you're right ... when teams consistently win their divisions, they'll play each other the next year -
I thought the same thing, but I think that they wanted to keep it from getting too emotional. Once the game started, it was back to fottball as normal which is probably best

They can't though, because it would create unequal numbers of home/away games or having teams play two teams from the same division. -

Right, and we don't mind getting 3 home games in a row. Bottom line, the way they set-up the schedules, we'll always get times where we play the same team 3 times in a row at home or on the road. It's not the league deciding it, it happens automatically -

Two questions? 1.) What's your shoe size? 2.) How does your foot taste? -

Damn! You blew my secret. That's my encore! -
I was curious why we've played in KC 3 years in a row and why we played in TEN 3 years in a row from 2019 - 2021. You'll need your thinking caps on for this one. It has to do with how the schedules are structured ... it's based one 8-year and three 6-year cycles that overlap. The 8 year cycle are the NFC games. We rotate NFC divisions over 4 years (North, East, West, South from 2022-2025). We play 2 teams at home and 2 on the road. Over the next 4 years, we play divisions in the same order but switch home and away. Therefore, over an 8 year cycle, we play every NFC team home and away. We play other AFC divisions on a 6 year cycle. (North, West, South from 2022-2024 ... 2 home, 2 away, then switch the next 3 years). Again, we play every non AFC East team home and away over a 6 year cycle. Each year, we play 2 other out of division games against AFC teams who finished the same position (ie; 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) in the other 2 divisions that we're not playing. These are determined by a six year cycle which are off set by one year: Out of division game 1: South, @North, West, @South, North, @ West). (2022-2027) Out of division game 2: @West, South, @North, West, @South, North). (2022-2027) What ends up happening is a 6 year cycle where we potentially can play 3 games against the same team on the road followed by 3 at home. Against KC, we played them in Buffalo in 2020 when we played the entire AFC west. The next 2 years, we both won or division, so we had @West (KC) in 2021 & 2022. in 2023 we play the entire AFC West, but this time we play in KC. The good news is that assuming KC and Buffalo keep winning their divisions every year, they have 3 straight in Buffalo (2024-2026). Because of this, we also played @TEN 2019-2021. We've also played @CIN in 2022 & 2023. We'll play them again in CIN in 2024 if we both end up winning our divisions in 2023 (or both 2nd, etc...) There's one additional 8-year cycle which determines the 17th game against another NFC team ... but that's not important.

Concerned. Very concerned. We were playing soft and letting them catch everything underneath. Very few contested catches

Updated scenario for scheduling to be voted on Friday
damj replied to The 9 Isles's topic in The Stadium Wall
I believe so. It says if the Bills qualify for the Championship as a road team which would be the case if the Chiefs win or we lose. This would be at a neutral site If KC loses and we win; then we would be the home team (clear #1 seed) and host the game. -

I appreciate your sentiment. The team might want to play out for him -

I am in shock right now. This is awful. I don't even want this game to continue -

I'm old enough to remember when field goals were 3 points, not 13.

Yeah, well Santa said you were a bad boy this year. Lucky the Bills won

Treatment of opposing team fans(your experience)
damj replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
I've never had problems visiting other stadiums, and generally most interactions are positive. When I see visiting fans at New Era, I always treat them well, unless they're jackwagons, then I just ignore them. -
I'm man enough to admit I was wrong. In 2018, I was a wr.... ... oh, would you look at the time. Gota run!

Wouldn't It Be Cool If Knox Keeps Emerging?
damj replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah ... especially since we made him one of the highest paid TEs because we expect him to do just that -
Agreed, but this is a man's life and long term health we're talking about. I would hate to lose him, but he needs to do what is best for himself and his family

I hope the Bills invest heavily into the offensive line this offseason
damj replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
We need to address WR just as bad -
