Superman00 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I think the schedule makers were as kind to Buffalo as I've seen in years. Highlights: - back-to-back road games only once - home primetime game - late bye (after W9) - west coast trips split up (as they requested) - home-heavy schedule in December (like it or not, ticket holders, this is an advantage for the team) Personally I'm bummed because I'll miss the home opener (vacation), but at least I should be able to get a decent price on those tickets. Don't forget not playing a team coming off a bye week. We've been killed with that the last couple years
plenzmd1 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Don't forget not playing a team coming off a bye week. We've been killed with that the last couple years did not see that...someone mentioned Pats get 10 days for one game...but overall that is awesome
YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) did not see that...someone mentioned Pats get 10 days for one game...but overall that is awesomethat's fine. Won't make a difference how much time they have . Unless Brady gets suspended for week 4 Edited April 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio
boyst Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Anyone seen the jets schedule? Brutal.there are a lot of very soft scheduled this year. And a lot of tough ones. Look at saints schedule. Look at Steelers. Than vikes and panthers softness. Seattle has a tough road and will be among the best teams come playoff time. They're an early favorite for the super bowl but I'm going to give It to Carolina right now

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 If the Bills can be 6-5 heading into December I like the chances of ending the playoff draught.
aristocrat Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I like that we have the pats week 4 against a possible brady-less team. the pats also play zona, miami and houston so if no brady they will have a tough start.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Did anyone actually watch either NFLN or ESPN schedule release shows? I didn't see one second of either.
MDH Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I see no way we start better than 1-5. Holy ****. HOLY ****. what a nightmare schedule. The beginning of the schedule isn't bad at all. They have Arizona and NE surrounded by 4 bad to mediocre teams. Arizona is at home and NE might not have Brady. The tough part is the middle with NE, Seattle and Cinci in consecutive weeks. Add in the bye and that might be winless month. The Bills really need to be heading into that second NE game with a 5-3 or 4-3 record if they hold any hopes of making the playoffs.

YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 Does anyone actually believe Brady will be suspended for even 1 game no but as a Bills fan I have been trained to grasp at straws
bigK14094 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 The schedule seems OK from the point of view they might be able to succeed. From the season ticket holder point of view, however, we got hosed again. Last half of the season with games on Nov 27, Dec 11,18, 24? Come on, man.......those games will be in cold weather, and those who don't like that weather will not attend those games. And, my family celebrates Christmas on Dec 24......going back more than 7 decades. I will miss that game for sure...and ever try to resell tickets for a cold weather game? ( ng for sure ) Then, I count 10 (ten) games subject to being flexed from a timing point of view. wtf (5 home, 5 away) So, the move to changing the description of where the games are played from stadium to studio is well underway. TV IS the customer, that stadium attendees are chump change and not considered when the schedule is put together. This season will be my last as a season ticket holder.

Uniquely Buffalo
aristocrat Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Anyone seen the jets schedule? Brutal. they could be 0-6 easily to start...cincy, us, at kc, seattle, at pitt, at zona then balt. tough start.
DE Bills Fan Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 The NFL will definitely schedule three home games for the Bills in December. NFL to Buffalo, "Screw you!" Definitely didn't do the Bills fans any favors by scheduling 4 of the last 6 games at home . Cold and probably meaningless games at the end.....................
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) First 6 games are brutal. Cincinnati @Buffalo @Chiefs Seattle @Pittsburgh @Arizona Wow. That is brutal, especially if they're starting a rookie. Or Geno. That that I'm complaining Edited April 15, 2016 by WhitewalkerInPhilly

If you don't like cold weather games you shouldn't go to Bills games....plus you have no idea what the weather will be like for those games...last year those games were played in mild weather....PLUS....it's beneficial to the team to have games at home late in the season for home field advantage fighting the playoffs...you come off as kind of a whiner.... Definitely didn't do the Bills fans any favors by scheduling 4 of the last 6 games at home . Cold and probably meaningless games at the end..................... Back when I went to games. we looked forward to home games late in the season.....No idea why people are complaining about this.....we also didn't care if it was cold.......fans are getting weaker
