I would like an NFC road game week 1 (Philly?) and then home opener week 2 on MNF vs. Pats. That place would be ridonkulous. Prefer SNF but that game tends to be more ratings-centric lately than MNF. I think we might have better chance for prime time on MNF. Also want to get Pats as early as possible.

I want to open the season at the Pats on that Thursday Night. Maybe I am feeling over confident but I think that the Bills are a BRUTAL match up for them at this point (crazy to think that). The way to beat Brady is to get pressure up the middle. The Bills can do that and Rex is an ideal guy to dial up those exotic blitz schemes. In addition, the Bills have weapons all over the field and the Pats lost their top 2 corners including the guy that is arguably the best in the game.

 

There is nothing that would be more satisfying than to go in there as they raise a banner and physically dominate them for 60 minutes.

The only reason I wouldn't want prime time game is for all of you who are going to the tailgate and probably prefer the Sunday afternoon game.

But what about the poll question, Kirby. :nana: Who do you want to open with at "home."

Ha ha, I'm an idiot. I didn't even know how to vote properly.

 

I guess that I am going to say the Texans at 1:00. If you are coming off a huge emotional game at NE (as I am hoping) I would like the next game to be against an opponent that you should beat. In addition, I don't want it to be some game that has a lot of side stories and everything else. If you show up and play good defense at home you will win that game.

 

P.S. That is a tough home schedule.

actually if Hoyer ends up starting for houston he might have his own version of PTSD coming back to the Ralph.

That is the main reason that I selected Houston. I don't think that Hoyer or Mallet can come into RWS and move the ball against the Bills defense. I may be wrong but I don't see it.

i wouldnt complain about rex being able to dial up a few surprises too. pats on the road has to be one of the toughest games we have, so hitting it out of the gate might be an ideal.

I would love to get that game out of the way too, I think week 1 you see a lot of upsets because teams don't have film on you and that would be a big advantage for us vs Belichik. He will not have much to go on to prepare for our offense. But I just can't see nbc putting the bills in that showcase game. I'd be shocked if it happened.

Jacksonville in London.

That game is already scheduled for 10/25. Also it is an away game for us. Edited by YoloinOhio

Patriots on Sunday at 1:00

 

They seem to always start slow and they wouldn't know what to expect out of our offense. I expect our defense to be ready by then.

Last time we opened with the Pats on Sunday at 1, EJ played very well but our crappy D blew the game.

 

I'd like to see the same game, with the same results from EJ, but with our current D. I'll take that over my first choice.
