JimKellyTryouts Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Looking through Tampa's home opponents this year, it's us, NO, ATL, CAR, DAL, NYG, MIA, CHI, WFT, and IND I have to say we're one of the likelier/respected teams - and would guess it'll either be NOLA (post Drew, Jameis vs his teammates with rings), Dallas for the flashy headlines and Dak's return, or us. Also, I'd rather play Brady earlier on in the season as opposed to when he gets into his groove mid-late season. If it's not Tampa, one of our division rivals or the Colts with a huge question mark in Carson Wentz would be good Edited April 11, 2021 by JimKellyTryouts

Expand They were at GAMES earlier (in fact, the older one had attended the Bills in Tampa just a few weeks earlier), but never traveled to Buffalo until they were more manageable. Hey! It worked, they both became die hard fans! EDIT: I remember asking my son how the Bills game in Tampa compared tot he one in Buffalo and his answer was “Oh, believe me, there is NO comparison!” Of course, we went on a bus with a full tailgate crowd and the entire luggage section was full of tailgate materials (a/k/a beer). That 16 year old boy had never seen THAT MUCH BEER before! . Edited April 11, 2021 by Augie 1
Don Otreply Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 As long as we maintain our passing game, and get our running game ducks in a row, and the D is no worse than last season, we’re going to win regardless of who we play,

JMF2006 Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 No one has said the Steers so I will. I think the Bills should be slid favorites as that team is a hot mess.

GunnerBill Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Patriots at home. Think theirs is a roster that will gel as it goes. Prefer to get them nice and early while they are still trying to mesh all the pieces. 1

Utah John Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 It always seems to me that the teams with the best records get the most reasonable schedules. The teams trying to get going are the ones who face a murderers' row in the first month or so, like the Bills did a couple of years ago. What I'd like to see is an easy start, putting the tough games into the middle, and then letting the Bills play easier games down the stretch. I'd like to see the Bills play Miami in Miami early, and in Buffalo late in the year. In fact all the warm-weather city teams should be in Buffalo in December. Miami and NE are going to be a lot better this year, but the Jets are still going to suck, so I would prefer to see the Bills open against Miami and/or NE to get wins there before those teams figure things out. Buffalo can play the Jets later on, with a good shot at winning both games. On 4/11/2021 at 6:01 PM, NewEra said: We almost lost to Cam Newton last year. Expand We actually almost lost to Bill Belichick last year. The Patriots almost won despite Cam Newton, not because of him.

Expand We actually almost lost to Cam Newton and Bill Belichick. 190 rushing yards against us in a game where we knew they couldn’t throw.

without a drought Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Teams are hoping that they don't have to face the Bills in week 1, not the other way around. Get with the times people.
