TFBillsfan Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 One week before the upcoming schedule is officially released. Any leaks coming out yet regarding the Bills schedule? Hoping to bring my daughter to her first game this year. Should be the most anticipated Bills season in the last twenty years with a ton of marquee matchups. Really hope the Bills get a few primetime games at home to remind everyone how raucous the stadium can be with a full house! And yes, I already know who the Bills play this year

Greg S Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 One more week to go. 5/12 is when the schedule comes out.

Draconator Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) My first game was when I was like 7. Monday night against the Dolphins. The only thing I remember is some guy being carried into the stadium by four friends (each had a limb). And the "Howard, Yuck" sign. Edited May 5, 2021 by Draconator I can't type worth poop!

Mango Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Looking at the TB opponents Buffalo stands a good chance at opening the season in TB.

I wouldn't be shocked if the league went divisional and Carolina @ TB especially with Darnold's new home. I don't see a Taysom Hill/Jameis Winston led Saints team opening the season in TB. Maybe Matt Ryan and the Falcons or Fields and the Bears? I think Buffalo vs. Tampa is the best home match up on their schedule. SB contenders vs. SB champs. Unsure if I want the Bills to open the season for the league. I would prefer to low key get on a role before heading into Primetime and a full stadium for the first time in a year. 1

The whole "America's team" stuff along with Dallas being a big market team that brings in strong ratings. The Bills will definitely get their share of primetime games but I think it will be against the AFC. Chiefs, Steelers, Colts, or anyone in the division. Teams like that. 1

I originally read it as Tampa @ Dallas so I did not even consider it. I think Buffalo @ Tampa is as good a match up as any on their schedule and put the odds the same as Dallas, Carolina, Atlanta, and Chicago. It is kind of wild that it seems the Bills might have a 20% chance of opening the season with NFL Kickoff. 1
chongli Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Not about the Bills schedule, but Atlanta plays a home game in London in October against a non-division opponent: https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/atlanta-falcons-plan-to-travel-to-london-in-october "The Atlanta Falcons will serve as the home team in an October game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, as part of this season's NFL's International Series. The exact date of the game, as well as the Falcons' non-divisional opponent, will be announced when the NFL releases its 2021 schedule in May. Final scheduling of the game is subject to the status of the COVID virus, travel restrictions and game-attendance allowances." So the opponent would be Detroit, New England, N.Y. Jets, Philadelphia, or Washington.

Seems like the logistics and regulations around international travel are still a bit up in the air. If I were the league, I would pause the series until 2022. 1

The company my dad used to work for (since retired) holds season tix in the Kelly Club for when the international suits come over. Through the years, they would raffle off unused tix and my old man won his fair share. I watched the 31-0 whoopin' on NE in 2003 as well as a few others. Most recent was the 2015 home opener vs. Indy. I've sat in a bunch of other sections and you're 100% right, people are generally more relaxed in the club seats. Went to the 2013 opener and my wife (lady friend at the time) and I had beer dumped on us before the game even started. Numbnuts in the row behind us was hammered by 12:30 and just certain that the other dude a few seats over was eyeballing his mongoloid of a girlfriend. He got the boot. I know the Mafia gets rowdy and likes to party but man, I can't imagine being sh*tfaced that early in the day. TLDR: teef right, club seats good spot for youngins. 1 1
