How come we didn't get Browns? I guess Jets or Fins will get them.

they go by where you placed in the division for the two ‘oddball’ conferences whom you only play once.  We’re a lock for 2nd place in the AFCE, so we get the Chargers and Ravens.

I bet if we end up making the playoffs next week, they give us a SNF or MNF game.

 

”The Bills finally made the playoffs after seventeen years of futility.... by the way, Jack Nicklaus, Niagara Falls, chicken wings, Music City Miracle”.

 

Agreed. If Bills make playoffs we absolutely play on MNF along with TNF. SNF is tough unless the Bills lose a dramatic game to an opponent we'd face next season like JAX.

There's no way to tell who's going to be good next year or how things will pan out. Looking at the AFC West going into this year looked awful, and we went 3-1 against them. Same with the NFC South. We split & went 2-2. So who knows, we could go 3-1 against the AFC South & 2-2 against the NFC North this next year. 

Then as usual, it's up to us to win the division games & the Ravens/Chargers games.

Could be worse...we could be the Browns and basically be 0-6 to start the season.

I think you meant 0-15, there's always the chance one of the last weeks a team throws them a bone and rests their backups too....

I'm going to investigate that Minny game. That stadium is worth the trip methinks.

Huh?  How do you figure?

 

 

New England. One of the biggest reasons the drought will reach 18 years.

[boyst]

if the Jags get decent in to the playoffs and we at all look like we could fix some things up for 2018 than I expect us to open at the Jags.  If not than the Bears are my bet.

 

Anyone thinking there are winnable games on the schedule now has to think again; who saw Denver, Oakland, Chiefs, Atlanta or Indy being winnable games last year at this time?

 

Who saw us losing to Cincinnati, the jets, or New Orleans?

Chargers and Titans.  We play all AFC South teams in 2018.

Chargers and Ravens, Titans are in the AFC South.

Make sure Al Riveron is not in the replay booth?

 

OMG so true.  Put a GW style bounty on that cheap suit.  Worthless POS.

The formula is there. But McDermott is a man of Faith. The formula to beating the Cheatriots is, the selling of one's soul...

 

Well, let's sell it already!  I also think a solid pass rush and time of possession might help.

I wonder if we would get a Monday night game @ GB or Min

 

No no no no no.  No Monday night games anymore, no prime time nuthin'.  We're doomed in prime time.  No Thursday no Sunday night no Monday.

TNF game will be at NE.

 

calling it now 

 

doubt we we have an SNF or MNF

 

Oh, God, no.  Nothing worse than prime time at NE.  NOTHING. 

 

At least McKelvin is gone.

Yep, you’re right.  That’s what happens when you fire off a post really quick as you’re rushing out the door

I hear ya, but I don't think Pittsburgh will rest up...until they see the Patriots whacking the Jets. Then they'll be locked in to the #2 seed and bring everyone out.

My crystal ball says 7-9

Losses:

NE x 2

Jags

Titans

Charger's

Texans

Packers 

Vikings

Ravens

Who knows, could be broken.

Your crystal ball could be cracked and covered in an inch of dust, without you knowing who our opponents next season are, and it would still read 7-9/8-8/9-7.

 

That's where a lot of the league lives every year.

 

Then you have the 3 or 4 standout good teams, and the 3 of 4 Cleveland type teams.

Every team gets a prime time game, regardless. More often than not, the SNF games involve playoff teams from the previous year, the large market teams (DAL, NE, NYG, etc), or teams with a good national following (PIT, OAK, GB). 

 

I'd almost guarantee that the Bills would not get a Sunday night game next year if they somehow snuck into the playoffs.

[Dread321]

I was hoping we'd play the Jags in Jacksonville next year, since I live in FL. That would've been two games I could attend, as I always go to any Bills games in FL. 

 

However, it will be cool to see Marrone return to the Ralph!! Give him hell Buffalo!!

[bbb]

8-8

[Kmart128]

Have Mariota, Watson coming back, Jags defense, Luck being back,  Rodgers coming back, a new Great Vikings team no matter the QB is, Stafford. 2 borderline playoff team with Ravens and Chargers.

 

Seems like only one "easy" matchup next year with the Bears... And that's assuming that Trubisky doesn't take a Good like improvment next year.

 

I know that each team is different but seems becides that Packers all teams are trending upwards

Thanks for.posting

 

As interesting as this is to look at, trying to make a prediction about record or wins/losses is ridiculous. There are way too many unknowns. Even right before the season who could have predicted...

 

Rams

Eagles

Saints

Cowboys

Packers

Raiders

 

Probably even more...

 

Then factor in the draft, free agency, coaching changes, injuries and week to week match ups, it's basically impossible

Definately agree.  Predicting next year's results on this year's results. Pretty rediculous.

See you at Lambeau! I've been wanting to go there.
