On GMFB they were arguing that being a small market team could work against Jax/Bills for PT game.  I don't get it - small market could affect regional viiewership, but for national games it has no effect.  Doesn't make any sense.  The overall ratings for entire country has nothing to do with local market size - it's about how good/interesting the teams that are playing are, that people are going to want to tune in to see.  Esp. with proiferation of NFL info/coverage today it's not like people aren't going to know about Josh Allen and the Bills or Lawrence/ETN if they don't live in that market.

From a football standpoint, playing Pittsburgh on week one is probably a lot safer, but I sure won't get the national attention of a Bills Buccaneers matchup.

BAL@LV (MNF)

 

Interesting, I thought they usually did a double-header on the opening night for MNF.

"The last time the Bills and Steelers opened the season as opponents was in 1978 when head coaches Chuck Knox and Chuck Noll squared off. The game was won by the Steelers, who would go on to win their third Super Bowl title. It was also the only time Buffalo and Pittsburgh faced each other in Week 1 until now."

The league did away with that this year, unfortunately.

Panthers and Jets week 1? Darnold Revenge game!

 

It would be soooooooooooo funny if Darnold put up 300 yards and 3 or 4 TDs to sink the Jets

Bears on SNF is the ultimate buzz kill. I don't think anyone outside of Chicago wants to watch them. Do they really get higher ratings? Why not pick a more intriguing team to play @LAR? Isn't Dalton the presumed starter? Seems like a real dud of a matchup.

 

Bills fans: if recent history holds, Bills will be wearing all white and the Steelers will be in black. Pretty depressing for home opener. Really wish we would go back to our traditional home colors.

They went away from that this year, they are doing a doubleheader on Saturday night later in the season

The Bills should wear the all whites and they most likely will. With temps most likely around 85-90 hot and humid then let the Steelers run around in their black jerseys. Besides the Bills don't have a traditional home jersey anymore. They have 5 now. All whites both current and throwback, blue over white, all blues and reds.

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.

This will be a rout in front of a raucous crowd.

Darnold laying a beating on the Jets Week 1 should give him a lot of confidence. I think the Panthers could be sneaky good team this year.

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

Steelers fans show up in droves no matter what- like army ants. Even if the team is not good- they are there. Bills fans are a bit like that too.

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

Yeah possible....Belichick's D will very likely give him a hard time. If that's the case, I'm not sure that will be the particular game that does it since it's known Belichick always gives a lot of those young QB's hell.
