udonkey Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I was just working on setting up my vacation for this year and discovered that the 2006 NFL Opening Weekend begins on Thursday, Sept. 7, with most games being played on Sunday, Sept. 10. Heres to hoping that we'll have ANOTHER home opener (although I'm a doubter)

Heres to hoping that we'll have ANOTHER home opener (although I'm a doubter) 560346[/snapback] Maybe a tough road game to start the season, would be better for this team...I would much prefer to have a schedule that is back loaded with home games, than the other way around. Besides, it seems that if the Bills start out strong at home, they fizzle around week 3....I like the idea of starting on the road against a strong opponent...maybe not the Patriots, but maybe Miami. Starting out with a good road win might do this team a world of good!

daquixers_is_back Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 playing Miami in early Sept. is never a good idea... 560595[/snapback] Agreed. Unless your playing the 03-04 Dolphins ... then playing them at ANY time, is good.
BuffOrange Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 playing Miami in early Sept. is never a good idea... 560595[/snapback] I'll third that.
Mark Vader Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Here's all of their road opponents for '06. If they open the season on the road where would you most like it to be? Dolphins Jets Patriots Texans Lions Colts Bears Ravens
meazza Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 how can the opponents already be determined? is buffalo playing KC this year?
Hollywood Donahoe Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 how can the opponents already be determined? 14 of 16 opponents through 2009 have been determined since 2002. The other 2 get decided once the previous season's standings are final. http://www.nfl.com/schedules/tv/2006_opponents is buffalo playing KC this year? No, Buffalo only plays San Diego from the AFC West this year.
scribo Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I think the Bills will either start on the road against the Ravens or at home against the Chargers. Ralph wouldn't want to start at home against a division rival as a homeopener is sure sellout, and so are most divisional games.
scribo Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Here's all of their road opponents for '06. If they open the season on the road where would you most like it to be? Dolphins Jets Patriots Texans Lions Colts Bears Ravens 560673[/snapback] Aside from the Bears and the Colts, that is a pretty good road schedule. Maybe a Thanksgiving game this year?
scribo Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 http://www.nfl.com/schedules/tv/2006_opponentsNo, Buffalo only plays San Diego from the AFC West this year. 560682[/snapback] Might as well... At home: Miami - Win New England - Loss N.Y. Jets - Win Jacksonville - Loss Tennessee - Win (homecoming from Travis) Green Bay - Win Minnesota - Win San Diego - Loss [of course, they are beatable if LT is taking the week off] (5-3 at home) Road games... Miami - Loss New England - Loss N.Y. Jets - Win Houston -Win Indianapolis - Loss Chicago - Loss Detroit -Win Baltimore - Win (4-4 on the road) 9-7 on the season.

Mark Vader Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Aside from the Bears and the Colts, that is a pretty good road schedule. Maybe a Thanksgiving game this year? 560719[/snapback] 50% chance of playing on Thanksgiving this year. The Lions played an NFC team this season, so they must play an AFC team in '06. It's either the Bills or Dolphins.
MDH Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 get the colt game out of the way right off 560999[/snapback] I'd like that Colt game to be in week 17.

It's either the Bills or Dolphins. 561066[/snapback] While it might technically be a 50% chance of a Thanksgiving game this year I can't imagine that the networks would choose the Bills over the Phins for a nationally televised game. Particularly against the lowly Lions. I'm guessing most of the nation wouldn't tune in to see the Bills @ Detroit. Hell, I'm a Bills fan and that sounds like a terrible matchup.
sfladave Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 playing Miami in early Sept. is never a good idea... 560595[/snapback] What I like about an early road game in Miami is that it usually translates into a December home game against them. That being said, after I saw the Bills performance against Tampa in that Florida heat and humidity early this season, it may require the Bills getting Rusty back!
BB2004 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Here's all of their road opponents for '06. If they open the season on the road where would you most like it to be? Dolphins Jets Patriots Texans Lions Colts Bears Ravens 560673[/snapback] Maybe we'll start out in Houston in 2006, like the Texans did in Buffalo in 2005.
buckeyemike Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Odds are it's a home game. The Bills have opened at home, I believe, it's each of the past six seasons. Mike
