I hate the Bills Schedule - Is this done on purpose?

[Billsfan1972]

We play in Miami when weather here is still pleasant and the last 6 games are all against north eastern teams where the elements could play a factor.

 

Actually the whole season was played vs. teams in cold weather markets (except Miami & LA). 

 

Bills fans should savour back to back weeks @ Ford Field.

 

Anyone else have a schedule as bad as Buffalo's?

 

BTW Bass would be unstoppable kicking indoors.

I agree.

 

I know a lot of fans think we have a home field advantage with the snow and cold but i’m not so sure. We are the not the 70’s Steelers. We are a passing offense that relies on crisp routes and clean fields.

NFL loves weather games .. looks great on TV. Not so good for Bills offense

Imagine that miami game gets flexed to night, and poof there's suddenly a heating bench malfunction on the visitor's side

OR (someone after the Miami loss posted this and I thought it was brilliant), crank the heat up to like 84F in the visitors’ lockerroom, then not only will the difference be jarring when they step out onto the field, all their sweat on their. bodies will freeze!!!

OOOOR turn off the hot water totally in there

 

lol

Knowing McDermott, I feel like they'll have something special for Miami. No way they just try a fry the bills in Miami and the bills don't have some kind of subtle jab to get them back

Fixed.   The Kelly era Bills had a better OL, several excellent blocking TEs, big powerful Fullbacks, and Thurman Thomas backed up by Kenny Davis.  We could run when we wanted to run.

Northeast weather could be a big advantage vs Miami…they don’t run the ball particularly well and tua doesn’t have a lot of arm strength to throw in the wind. The jets we should really be beating in any situation…if edmunds and Milano play I don’t see us losing that one.  NE I’m not sure what to think about. Their running game seems pretty average this year 

 

I think we picked up klein so we can run some 4-3 without 2 godawful linebackers being on the field if one of edmunds/Milano is injured.  We’ve been trapped in the nickel a few games because of that

 

i think the panic after the browns game is somewhat of an overreaction…they’ve got a bad record but that offense is in the top 5 in the league in yards per game and we played them missing a handful of high impact defensive players

I hope the malfunction occurs on the Miami bench.

 

Frankly I think the Bills front office needs to make deals for outdoor events at the stadium prior to when schedule is formulated which would limit number of days during later months.

True.

what a bunch of effing crybabies on this board

And last year had to endure the NE game in ridiculous conditions.

 

How come the last two years both NE games at the end of the year?

Yep.....  Love watching games and being comfortable and knowing the elements don't play a huge part in the outcome.

 

Anyone who liked the NE game in OP last year has got to be kidding.

 

Also the Baltimore game weather was a factor as was Miami.

True.  Every other team had the same rules and constraints. 

 

The Kelly era Bills could run the ball when they needed to, which is a big reason why they won at home in the cold and the wind.  They were built for the wintry weather.

We no longer have any convoluted advantage playing in the wind & snow. We're primarily a passing team and this nonsense that Josh's arm talent gives us an edge in bad weather is laughable. Same applies to Bass. 

[LabattBlue]

I am not sure if the owner has any input into schedule preferences(I think they can at least make some requests), but it is idiotic that the Bills play at Miami early, and here in Buffalo late. 

It should always be Miami here in Sep/Oct, and at Miami in Nov/Dec.

I think it does, however that goes for all conditions and I'd rather the conditions be good. 

 

Bass has a great leg and yep would like to see 60 yard FG's, not 42 yard ones having to compensate for the wind.
