When was the last time those jerkys played in Orchard Park? Just brutal. In 2020. If the bills finished in the same standings position as the chiefs for eternity, the games would be distributed as follows: 2018: in Buffalo (but this was against the chargers) 2019: in Buffalo (but this was against denver) 2020: in Buffalo (this one happened, AFCW rotation) 2021: in KC (The Bills started winning the division) 2022: in KC (again, bills won division) 2023: in KC (afcw rotation, no matter what) 2024: in Buffalo (instead of the chargers game in 2018 bc we are always finishing with the chiefs in this scenario) 2025: in Buffalo (again, division finish match) 2026: in Buffalo (afcw rotation) And so on. No, you can't break these up and maintain the divisional rotations and playing the corresponding finisher in the two afc divisions you don't play, unless you want 7 home games half of the years. 1 3 Quote

It didn't become clear to me until i actually sat down and wrote schedules out and tried to "fix" it. We were at Tennessee in 19, 20, 21 as well, but home to pit in 20,21,22. Meaning that we have to play AT cinci again next year, before an overlap of having both KC and CIN at home I believe. (Assuming we all keep winning divisions) Quote

Standing by for the rose-colored glasses crew to come in with their long knives. LOL One thing about the Bills. They seem to always lose a game they shouldn't (say the Giants this year) and win a game they shouldn't (Bengals or Eagles this year). I see 10-7 as the floor with 12-5 as the ceiling. Hard to say right now. Some teams you think will be tough aren't and vice versa. Also, injuries play a factor every year in the NFL. Quote

The bills' ceiling is winning 15 or 16 games and then the super bowl. Their best case scenario is NOT losing 2 more games than they lost last year with insane injuries Quote

I think they will end up somewhere between 10-7 and 12-5. Quote

BuffaninSarasota Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Every schedule discussion on TBD must contain the following: "why are there only (5) 1pm games? Those are my favorite" "why do we have so many prime time games? these mess up my routine (after years of complaining "why don't we ever get any prime-time games?") "why are we playing at KC again? - the NFL is rigged and doesn't want us to win! " 2 2 1 Quote

If things go poorly, injuries, poor play, tough schedule, etc...The floor for me is 8-9. I agree with you ceiling. 2 1 Quote

Didn't you make a great post about this last year explaining everything in detail? Just save it so you can just post the link to that every time this questions comes up (which it will during Chiefs week)! 😄 1 Quote
