IDBillzFan Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 7 hours ago, MJS said: As soon a the schedule comes out there are people shouting from the roof tops how hard it is no matter what it looks like, regardless of things like strength of schedule metrics. Jerry Sullivan is reporting the Bills might have "the worst offense in the league right now." Meanwhile, fans look at a schedule released in April, BEFORE the draft and BEFORE the final roster and BEFORE every other team has a draft and final roster, and predict with confidence that the Bills will have a top 5 pick next year. I understand Sullivan is in the clickbait business, but some fans make me wonder why they bother following this team.

Boca BIlls Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 This is as good as you can get with the schedule. Best schedule the Bills have had in a very long time. 1

I still don't know how the 2017 roster got 9 wins and the playoffs 3 games each year go the way the pigskins randomly bounced when someone dropped it.... the Fish tanking the last game helped, that's a worse strength of schedule situation than playing Cleveland it was a total fluke that they got in, now to HOST a playoff game, and a SECOND one in a given year...
eball Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Wow, five of the first seven on the road with a new starting QB. That's gonna be tough. If they can get through that gauntlet at 3-4 or 4-3 it will be very impressive. Right now I can't help but think 2-5 is the most likely result, knowing what we know at this point.

buffaloboyinATL Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I just got my seats, hotel and flight booked for Green Bay. 40 yard line, 10 rows from the field behind Bills bench. Can not wait!!! 1

I think we need two off seasons to fix the roster so I am ok with this team taking some steps backwards this season to make the rebuild that much better. I would rather keep my expectations low for this season and get presently suprised. Certainly. The team needs some work. 1
CodeMonkey Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Based on how I watch the games, having every game but 1 be Sunday at 1:00 is absolutely perfect!
eball Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Booked my flights to Baltimore for the opener and to Buffalo for the Monday-nighter. Couple of fun road trips!

Tix were $350 before fees and roughly $450 after. There were plenty of cheaper seats available as well, but this will be my first and possibly only time at Lambeau, so I splurged. If you are going, book hotel soon, they are filling fast.
John from Riverside Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 If we can just find a way to come out of that road game stretch 500......we might make some noise next year.

We are flying into Ohare Friday..Cubbies game in the afternoon..RV to GreenBay early next day..airbnb for two nights..leave out of Ohare Monday morning. Our air is going to be close ro $350 too
BigDingus Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 NE on Monday Night is gonna suck. 5 of our first 7 being on the road sucks. A bunch of empty seats in December sucks. But hey, it's not often I look at the schedule before the season and say "Hey, this is gonna be great!" unless we're playing the AFC South, and we did that last year so.... Best of luck Bills. We're going to need it.
