Bills will travel the 10th fewest miles this year

[BisonMan]

Interesting tweet shows the travel miles and time zone crossings of each team. The Bills are in the top 3rd for fewest miles.

 

It’s crazy that Pittsburgh never leaves the Eastern time zone all season.

You know, this is just another example of the NFL sticking it to Buffalo. They don't want TPegs & Co. to wow the USA, they want to keep the Bills bottled up. LAC and KC are both getting more miles than Buffalo. When will the NFL realize that the Bills are a national treasure?  It's also amazing how far Pittsburgh has fallen, no longer the golden boys of the NFL.

 

The top two? Texass and ne. Big ***** surprise.

The Steelers can bus to all their games.

And if they did I hope it broke down on each trip or was like the bus from “Major League”.

The Pitt point is indeed crazy

Did they remove the international games at least?  I’d say that skews the numbers a tad

Bills mileage came in at 13.894 ?  the O/U was 13,750 ?  does that include bus mileage from airport to team hotel - and if so - is it roundtrip ?  cuz if we are going to do this, lets do it right damn it.

 

tie-breaker was time zones apparently - we only cross 10

 

chubby alert - the pending big news - Thurs nite opener at LA Rams !!!

Assuming mostly air travel, Steelers spend 10 hours traveling all season To Seahawks over 50

I wonder if they included the Bills last trip to Arizona 😉

When you're the best they treat you well.

No real surprise that the west coast teams are all in the top half of the list.  And also the entire AFC North is at the bottom of the list as that division probably has the four closest teams to each other. If they ever swapped out Balt. for Buffalo would be even closer.

I always felt it was a mistake for Ralph to insist the Bills remain in the AFC East. This was from realignment proposals of the 90’s.

So it looks like the entire AFC North is on local travel only.

No international games - Bills are an international treasure.

 

And considering connections for Buffalo I am glad they are flying less miles.

Add Las Vegas into those miles.

mom hopeful you’re speaking sarcastically.  You do know the schedule is set by after AFCE, it’s every three years another AFC division, and the same NFC division every four years.  Then the same seeded team from the the other two divisions which this year is TN and KC.  Lastly now an alternating NFC commensurate team since a 17 game season.  How is the NFL bottling up when we play the AFCE, AFCN, NFCN, the teams I mentioned above , and the NFC team is the Rams this year.

 

Its predetermined.  Most of these teams are close to us or within one time zone.

 

My opinion is I love it, and our guys will have less long distance travel, no international games, and last I checked the tv networks get to lobby who is on national games.  How far they travel has absolutely no bearing.  I fully expect once the schedule comes out there will be a good chance for 4pm games which is one hair away from the night games on any of the away NFCC games and Rams.

 

I can see some national exposure for chances on GB, KC, Pats, TN, Fins, Cincy, Baltimore, and even the Browns.  That is more than enough exposure for a percentage of them with the team that is ranked the highest to win the SB.

 

So again I hope you’re kidding or you really don’t know how the schedule works.

They should remove the international ones and just operate them as if they were in the states

For some weird reason the screenshot shows the middle of the list, not the top of the list.   If you go to the actual tweet you will see that Dallas and New England are 12 and 13th respectively.   The highest were Seattle 29,446 and then Denver at 27,398 both of which are going to Europe.   In general, all the teams above Dallas are either playing internationally or on the west coast, i.e., LA Chargers.

For the record I'm not his mom. Any child of mine is born with a well developed sarcasm detector. This thin skinned gug? Not so much.

Despite the Bills having the 10th fewest travel miles, Bills Mafia may well rack up the most travel miles...
