Of note, the only thing the leaked schedule from Buffalo Fanatics got wrong was the JETS flipped home/away dates.

I'm good with this, I think Pittsburgh is a good matchup for us week 1. I think Ben is done and we come out clicking in front of the home crowd.

The crowd is going to be insane since its the first time in the stadium in 2 years. The only bad thing is the terrible towels travel well. Hopefully they don't get to many tickets.

No surprise really. Both stadiums in LA and Vegas look great. It makes sense to have primetime games week 1 in both places with fans in attendance.

Dallas @ Tampa Bay ?  

 

Will this even be competitive?

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

So this potentially will be 5 regular season losses out of their last six for the Steelers. Let’s ride it with Ben another year.

yep.  My first thought was “crap, Ben might be pretty good because he’s well rested”, but better to play the old man than inevitably Mason Rudolph later in the season (Rudolph is better than Roethlisberger at this point in their careers).

Yep, I get it. Personally, I tune in to watch the games and follow any fantasy football players I might have going. I don't care about the stadiums but I certainly understand why a multi-billion dollar industry does.

I think In the Pats Miami game, The Pats D could quickly cause doubt if Tua is the guy right off the bat.

Last time Pittsburgh came here, the stadium was half Steelers fans. We cannot let that happen again

Yes I am not sure why people act like Dallas is an afterthought. With Dak healthy last year the offense was scoring a lot and every game was high intensity regardless of if they won.

One of the very few times I may cheer for NE just to see chaos ensue in Miami if they can rattle Tua haha
