Albany,n.y. Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 When the schedule comes out, well know if the NFL is "giving us the business" or not. The two easiest games to sellout will be Dallas & the Giants. There are tons of fans of those teams all over NYS. If we get one of them on opening day, another one in October & get Cincinnati & Denver in December, the NFL is screwing us as badly as they did with 4 post Thanksgiving games this year. If they schedule the 2 big draws in November & December, then you know they've gotten the message that we need to schedule the harder teams to market earlier in the year. Personally, I'd like to see the Bengals on opening day & Denver as game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuile Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The only game we should worry about not selling out is Balt. Cincy has players worth the price of a ticket. Here is the problem: it would be nice if the league made its schedule around Buffalo, but they are more likely to plan the season around the Cowboys. With primetime games the big concern, it will be interesting where they put the very popular Cowboys. Also look for the Dallas and Giants games to be at 4.

Albany,n.y. Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Cincy has players worth the price of a ticket. I can guarantee a blackout if Cincy is the last home game & a sellout if the Giants are. Cincinnati just doesn't get people's pulse going in Buffalo. Also, by December all those players except Carson Palmer will be in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuile Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Haha, true. Also, it would be nice if we got a divisonal team in those last weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think that as long as the team is competitive at the end of the year we'll have no problem selling out games, no matter who we're against. That's what we need to hope for, a competitive team, not a break from the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Oh whatever - I thought late season home games were a good thing for us, especially vs. Fla/CA teams; now we're bitching about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
