CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 Now that it's known that Bills are hosting MNF Week 2, I think it's much less likely Rams will be Week 1. I also heard on WGR last week that the NFL scheduling person that was on stated that the Bills would not get the opener and Thanksgiving. At this point, I think Thanksgiving is more likely. 1
Greg S Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 Just took at look at the Rams home schedule Seahawks - without Russell Wilson. I doubt this is the week 1 matchup. 49ers - possible as its a rematch of last years playoff game. Cardinals - possible for the same reason Panthers - no Falcons - no Cowboys - possible, Cowboys always bring strong ratings. Raiders - possible, Raiders are a good team who will get there share of primetime games. Broncos - possible. Russell Wilson with a strong Broncos team. Bills - possible. Josh Allen and the Bills are really good and a fun team to watch now. You cant rule out Bills at Rams for week 1 but as you can see their are plenty of other options the league can choose from for the opening game of the year. 1

With us adding Von MIller it seems like a no brainer

Cowboys always have the inside track though they were the opener last year so maybe we will get a break If I had to guess it would be the Broncos, NFL likes the star QB in new situation storyline and Russ is formerly of the NFC West The Bills are probably second most likely after the Broncos imo 1

Sure Bills Rams is a sexy pick, so is DAL/ARZ/DEN/49ers and it saves the Bills Rams for later in the year. 1
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 So we are going from week 1 Thursday night, to week 2 Monday night. I have a feeling the "I prefer Sunday at 1:00 games" crowd will not be happy this year.

Airseven Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Unlikely Cowboys open the season in back to back years. Broncos makes sense for Wilson’s debut. Raiders are another interesting matchup with Adams. I’d rather see the Bills on Sunday for the opening weekend. Don’t crave the silly national spotlight. And it’d take away from opening weekend if the Bills didn’t play, or perhaps already lost. Edited May 9, 2022 by Airseven

So back to back week prime games is not impossible

BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted May 9, 2022 Author Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I’ll just add that according to the Bills announcement for the MNF game against Tenn they had the following also: ”starting at 6:00pm May 12, the home opener will be announced and tickets will go on sale for just that game” too me this implies the week 1 game will be at home. So yes the TNF opener appears unlikely Edited May 9, 2022 by BillsFanThru-N-Thru 1
BuffaloBaumer Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 I want 1pm Sunday Home opener vs Pats I do NOT want Packers at Bills week 1

Someone got 3 straight prime time games last year to start the season. Please don’t make me look it up. Honestly, we start a little flat so I like the idea of a NFC west coast game to start the season. Let the Bills see another team receive their Super Bowl rings 1
DCofNC Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 I like it, the Rams are extremely over rated, Allen will have himself a DAY.

I agree with those that say LA doesn’t want the mafia taking over the rams celebration.
dma0034 Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 I would also say I find it hard to believe that they'll have the Bills be at home the first 2 weeks.... that would mean after that they'd have 6 home games and 9 away games and would probably have to play 4 out of 5 games Away at some point. 1

I was curious, so I went back to 2010 and on to see who opened each season... 2010 - Vikings at Saints 2011 - Saints at Packers 2012 - Cowboys at Giants 2013 - Ravens at Broncos 2014 - Packers at Seahawks 2015 - Steelers at Pats 2016 - Panthers at Broncos 2017 - Chiefs at Pats 2018 - Falcons at Eagles 2019 - Packers at Bears 2020 - Texans at Chiefs 2021 - Cowboys at Bucs 1
