Yeah, but you can't tell me Bills at Chiefs isn't a better matchup. That would have been an incredible SNF opener

I hope that is true... 2 weeks after October 17th is home and with the home/away the nfl generally does hoping October 17th is a home game. Ralph's would be 103rd birthday and also my 40th! Really would love to be in the stands if it is indeed a home game! Knowing my luck though it will be their bye week.... lol
Process Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Boooooo! I guess Bills at Bucs made too much sense for Week 1. Would have loved to see it. 1

That could mean that we get some early leaks. I guess we will wait and see. I'm excited Go Bills!!! teams are given finalist schedule options to check if there could be any schedule issues they were unaware of. this happened with Buffalo in 2011 schedule where they had buffalo at home when hockey world juniors were in buffalo so there were no hotel rooms available. So they needed to change. in another season Houston was at home the same weekend the stadium space was used for a holiday event between thxgvg and Xmas. Thry flipped weeks. flipping weeks in a schedule usually occurs when 1 team has 3 straight weeks at home or on road because the scheduling algorithm limits in to two. you have a week without teams on bye. Or there was a a week at start or end where some teams bye, no bye , teams on bye. they schedule prime time games , focused 425 games, and team byes first. It’s far easier to do this than have a computer program do it. if you look at prime time games thry follow a pattern of some division rivals games, playoff rematches, super bowl of past rematches, big inter conference games, predicted 1st place teams pkaying, preficyed playoff contenders playing. 1

TBBills Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) This thread said "Hot 🔥" so I figured some stuff got leaked. 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: The NFL LOVES putting the Bears on SNF I guess they love crazy score games like 18-12 The factor of crazy scores and that the bears know Stafford best is a great combo for a whacky score game that could be exciting.

DCOrange Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 10 minutes ago, Mark Vader said: It was never going to be an AFC-NFC match-up to start the season. It definitely would have been unusual if it was. The NFL doesn't have an option that would be considered usual though. It's usually a game against a fellow conference team (not within the division) that was at least in the playoffs the year before. Tampa doesn't have anyone that matches that criteria. I think the Bears are the closest if I'm not mistaken. I suspect it will be the Cowboys though; a big market, Dak's return, and potential playoff team against the defending SB champs. 1
