Thanks bro.  Well, at first glances I can say that seems to be a pretty tough schedule... especially that away slate.  Jesus why does it seem like we play the Chiefs AWAY every single year?

[Jamie Nails]

Home schedule looks very manageable, however. But again, gone are the days of worrying about this. We can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. Teams see us on the schedule and say “damn, that’s a tough one”

[Franco_92]

Crazy dichotomy there. Home schedule seems historically easy. Road schedule seems historically difficult

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Damn, another season where all the away games are on the road.

 Good to see our annual trip to KC is on there. 🥱

 

 Playing against Daboll should be interesting. Both sides know each other quite well. A matchup of who installs the best wrinkles to their game.

The good thing is we play nine games at home.

Is it safe to say that the game against Dallas will be in September and during primetime?

[Heavy Kevi]

Are they EVER going to make KC come to Buffalo?

As far as I know, that's up to the Bills and what seed the finish as.

No. Dallas plays at home on Thanksgiving.

It’s a preset formula that projects out years in advance. It goes by order of finish within a division, not by team. The home/ away portion is predetermined. Starting in 2024 the Bills have a chance to host KC 3 straight years if they finish in the same slot.

Seems like we play at KC every year because we do play at KC every year…

Hopefully.

Season opener could be possible Super Bowl rematch if we end up playing Philly or Dallas in the Super Bowl. Don’t think we have to worry about Tampa winning it all this year. And that could work out either way depending if we won or lost the Super Bowl obviously. 
 

Win Super Bowl open vs Cowboys

Lose Super Bowl open at Philly

Bills fans are gonna be mad but while 2023 is the last year of the road at odyssey at KC it is only year 2 of a 3 year stretch at Cincinnati. 

 

We will be on the road at the AFC North winner again in 2024. It is the flip for having the home stretch we have had against Pittsburgh who have played in Buffalo 3 years running. 

 

If the Chiefs and Bills both win their divisions in 2023 and 2024 then the Chiefs will play a 3 year stretch here in 24, 25 and 26.

Maybe what you’re hinting at but, if we win the Super Bowl (big if) then Cowboys at Bills will probably kick off the season.

The Chiefs have quite a soft home schedule. I presume the AFC North team they’re schedule to play is the Bengals so Bengals at Chiefs will kick off the season should the latter win it.

As for the “who gives a damn about Hamlin, just give us the win” lot, they’d probably send the Bills there on opening night, with the interest in the game. The only other real possibility at this stage is the Vikings.

 

Chargers - They’ve got the Bills, Chiefs and presumably Eagles or Cowboys at home so a selection there

Eagles - Home games against the Bills, presumably Bengals and 49ers so one of them

49ers - Cowboys or Bengals

Cowboys - Probably the worst selection of home games from an opening night point of view. Would they send the Giants there for ratings? If they win the division they’d get the Bengals which would obviously be interesting; otherwise it’ll presumably be the Ravens.

 

I think they’re the only teams who have a chance of winning the SB but a lot can change between now and mid February.

 

 

[GunnerBill]

Hardest home game maybe Jags?

 

Easiest road game excluding AFCE (not saying they are all easy, we lost two this year, but they are standard) Washington. 

 

No reason not to go 9-0 at home. 

[Playoffs?]

Back to Kansas City!  This is getting comical.  They should just rename the visitors locker room to Bills locker room.

Apparently only if we clinch the #1 seed. Had a chance this year.
