boyst Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 We did home openers of jets, Miami, Indy, NE* I don't remember if we opened week 1 Indy or ne*. But definitely remember Balt last year. It is likely to be an account team
YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah, that is going to be a weird situation. I plan on going to that game, but I am terrified at how much tickets will be at face value. It really sucks that the Chargers moved to Los Angeles. San Diego is/was the best road trip in the NFL. Such a beautiful city and a splendid area. The San Diego Bills Backers always made it a great time. I will really miss that experience. beautiful, perfect city. They still have the Padres (sadly)
Cereal Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 isn't that due to baseball? Is it? I have no idea. But I'd be curious to know about this as well as about similar specific scheduling constraints/requests. I did hear on WGR a couple weeks ago that Cincy had requested a Week 1 opener. Not sure of their source.

I did hear on WGR a couple weeks ago that Cincy had requested a Week 1 opener. Not sure of their source. maybe the Reds are away that day. I remember the Ravens couldn't play at home week 1 the year after the won the SB as the SB winning traditionally opens on TNF at home, because of the Orioles.
Mark Vader Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 yep he said he hadn't played in front of 30k since HS - maybe one time at northwestern haha That would be a sellout at Spartan Stadium for San Jose State.
BringBackFergy Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 I am predicting we play the Patriots at home the week after they play Thursday night football and the Pats visit us the week after their bye. Just a hunch.
CA OC Bills Fan Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah that is definitely going to be a funny experience I am also wondering how much tickets will be since there are going to be a lot less on the market According to this article, average face value price will be $192 with the range being $70 (behind North end zone) to $375 (behind Chargers bench). They are expecting to take in as much as a normal size stadium so obviously the prices need to be high. I've been to several LA Galaxy (soccer) games at StubHub, I've always had good seats, but I can't imagine that there are really any bad seats in the house. Last year I went to the Bills/Lambs game, paid just over $100/ticket, and was so far away I could barely see the field. Also, there was a huge Bills Backers party near the stadium. Personally, I'm really psyched to see a Bills game in this venue.
Beef Jerky Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Didn't I already say when it was being released?

But definitely remember Balt last year. It is likely to be an account team I'll go with home against the Jets Week 1 2016 at Baltimore 2015 Indianapolis 2014 at Chicago 2013 New England 2012 at NY Jets 2011 at Kansas City 2010 Miami 2009 at New England 2008 Seattle 2007 Denver Edited April 14, 2017 by buffaloaggie
MiltonWaddams Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Awesome I can start planning my LA trip which originally was going to be San Diego. See you there!
buffaloaggie Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 My guess is home against the Titans week 1. Titans aren't on the schedule this year. Bills play the AFC West, NFC South, Indy at home and Cincy on the road
boyst Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 I'm going totally guessing here that cinci is first away game. Patriots or Indy first home game. I will find out that morning and ellusively post it somewhere as I have the last two years with the first two games
aristocrat Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 i wonder when the carolina game will be? should be a huge bills presence
boyst Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 i wonder when the carolina game will be? should be a huge bills presenceif its late in the year or past mid season and the panthers aren't .500 than it will be 50% buffalo. I have essentially got tix for Carolina and Atlanta already.
GunnerBill Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 So week 1 won't be New England. They will open on the Thursday night and the smart money is on a Superbowl rematch against Atlanta. My guess is we open at home to Oakland and we conclude at the Chargers.
papazoid Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 we got screwed.... 4 December home games.....new england is coming off a bye for both home and away games.....our home opener in 3rd week......we travel the most miles of any team.....no night games, the league hates us...... guess I should wait til Thursday.....

My guess is we open at home to Oakland and we conclude at the Chargers. i heard NE won't be hosting Atlanta week 1 TNF Also I'm guessing Bills will be away two of the December weeks because there is hockey at New Era
plenzmd1 Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 i heard NE won't be hosting Atlanta week 1 TNF Also I'm guessing Bills will be away two of the December weeks because there is hockey at New Era That's due to the new Stadium I would guess. I can see the NFL wanting Atlanta on the Sunday night game opening weekend to showcase that puppy. And NE-Atlanta in one of the Sunday afternoon slots would crush in November.
GunnerBill Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 That's due to the new Stadium I would guess. I can see the NFL wanting Atlanta on the Sunday night game opening weekend to showcase that puppy. Yea fair point. I would quite like being the Thursday opener at New England.
