Buffalo Bills Schedule Discussion / Prediction Thread

[MikePJ76]

I hate the nfl on xmas eve or xmas day.

 

Can't we have one or two days to eat too much and watch movies with the fam without the nfl having to hijack it.  

 

It seems the nfl's plan is to take complete control over every major holiday.  There is going to be a july 4th bowl before we know it.

 

I mean come on I just want to have a drink and watch Die Hard without worrying I am missing an important game.

This schedule is brutal.

Someone mentioned they took a tour of the Bills stadium yesterday and the tour guide said rumor is week 1 vs SF and Christmas Day vs NYJ 

I'd be quite surprised if we opened against SF

Wednesday Christmas Day at 4:30  then travelling to Seattle for a Sunday game would be rather outrageous....

3 SNF games but only 1  MNF would be surprising as well 

I'd expect 2 & 2 

I thought every team had to have a Thursday game?

LOL. This is believable. Play the Jets on Dec 25th and then travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks on Dec 29th.

I thought it was crazy, until I realize the NFL often expects teams to play on a Sunday, and then on the following Thursday. Same number of days.

 

*which is still crazy

Don't have a 4 day Sun-Thursday game

So Wed- Sunday is it

Even if the Bills did play in this short of a period of time, I doubt the league would make them fly across the country. It would probably be two games on the EC.

^ we would need to be playing really good football in September.... 1-2 or 0-3 are real possibilities with that proposed schedule

Maybe....but the league simply does not care about the Bills.  Our 3rd Round pick was stolen.   They put us in "an experiment" in London per Roger. 

 

If it wasn't for a new stadium being built, NFL would be looking to move this team

The Orioles moved their start time back to 12:30 on 9/8. Speculation is the Ravens will host week 1 on SNF.

Ahhh. Yep, that would make a lot of sense too.

Pretty sure this is made up. Isn't the very last week TBD every year?

Yes.  Typically they list every game as either TBD or 1pm, then change the schedule as needed.  This was from a CBS article last spring..

In a perfect world, if we are going to 18 games, I would embrace what Joe Burrow said and give every team a bye week the week of Christmas and then stagger the other byes throughout the year and try to have Super Bowl Sunday to hit during President Day weekend.
