TJ Graham?

Thanksgiving is considered primetime my league workers regardless of timeslot. LAR opener is considered SNF and Miami can flex at seasons end.

I think with the new TV deals the NFL may have changed how they normally give the schedule out and possibly even through fake stuff out to cause confusion. Some of these leaks will be accurate but enough stuff is contradicting that you really can't trust much.

Yep Ravens Bills got pulled back as real at least for now. I agree only two things I maybe trust are Bills KC CBS 4:25 week 8 and mostly because we are due for that slot after two night games two years in a row. The week 17 Cincy game seems to be one everyone is saying will happen from a multitude of people so I can see that as it fits in the "if there's smoke there's fire" mentality I have with schedule leaks.

Week 18 Tigers....? sorry going with the animal theme lol

This times a million

From what I have read and seen there are three options: 1. pay full up front 2. spread payment in 3 payments up to opening 3. 10 year payment plan. Obviously this can change it is just what I have seen

I get it but it isn't destroying my world if it isn't Buffalo lol

lol jesus no one knows a thing this year. I got Bills at Washington Sentinals week 1 against Shane Falco

lol why Bills fans so intense about an opening thursday night game. Win the SB and its our next year... until they switch the rules hahaha This IS a source I trust Dov is legit

I don't trust this account he or she is just putting out the latest nothing official. I just saw a twitter feed from a decent dolphins source saying the Phins are going north in december to Buffalo and NE.

Don’t disagree it’s why I’m wait and see until the full numbers hit

The prices I were told were literally this week so I would work with that as a range to start with. Buffalo is super cheap for everything league wide, many fans really do not understand that. The fact they even mentioned PSLs at just $500 is rather remarkable as in some cities the starting point was $5000.

Yep, he mostly captured my thoughts.

The article will be read by a lot of people and as such it does represent the view of the fanbase. I do not expect consensus that everyone will agree with my perspective but being asked as I was I hope I was able to express the feelings of many Bills fans on something that is an extremely sensitive topic. My apology is if what I said went against the grain or didn't capture others view points. If you are that far dense to not understand that and current wait and see period with PSLs that has many many fans on pins and needles on what it means for them then I don't know what to say to you other then too bad and move along.

It is why Id rather just say its a ticket tax to help fund the stadium and walk away. When they try to list the PSL perks it all feels like BS

Agreed. The retort is technically the funds will be captured for 850mil given over 20 years and tax income etc... yea its BS. Buffalo for 20 years now has escaped most of the money BS the league does just to attend a game but our day has unfortunately come. I just hope it is rational and fair which is not saying much but also a stretch with billionaires.

Def some good thoughts and merit there. One of the things the NFL maximizes with its schedule is the fact certain matchups are only every few years. The NFL is the only sports league where every game matters week to week, there is a uniqueness to each matchup, and a pageantry that is unmatched. The NFL is getting close if they expand too far to ruining that and killing the golden goose in a sense. The 17th game should make so two great QBs like Rodgers and Brady don't have to wait 4 years to faceoff as often, but I think the balance is pretty solid right now. I will say I would be curious with what they would do if for one year they paused the 17th game rotation for something like you proposed and what would come of it.

I remember he mentioned something like this. The problem becomes that eventually not everyone has a good rivalry and when Seattle is playing Las Vegas due to "proximity" it doesn't have the same ring to it. Truthfully the way they handled the 17th game made the most sense and teams want the most equitable schedule possible not the most entertaining.

I kind of agree. I love the build and analyzing the schedule and trying to piece it together. Then it happens and by like Sunday I just start looking for what thursday night games I am going out to bar for lol

I hate to say this but I think the Bills realistically have no issue with trimming the season ticket list down to around 52k and the remaining 10-11k (the new stadium will probably be 62-63k plus a few thousand standing room) for individual tickets which are higher priced then now. The fans get screwed, but they get more money and revenue streams. It 100% sucks that someone who has had tickets for 15-20 years same section will either have to move or just not buy at all and I communicated that is the nervousness fans have is what the actual price point is and if I lose my seat ive had for x number of years.

I have thought for a bit now the days of going to a game super cheap are toast especially with everything online like you said. I would agree the Bills do not want fans who get $10 tickets, park at an off campus lot for $10, and don't spend any money at the stadium being the focus or goal in anyway. I think Bills games will be affordable for most, but that comes with the expectation you still are paying more then the past. The flip side as a parent with two kids now is we need four tickets and I actually am excited if they can provide some options pregame at the new stadium they may be a bit more family focused as kids and tailgating don't mix for 3 hours lol I would add that with games being a bit more the last few years I have seen far less stupidity in terms of fighting in the stands and bad behavior then in many years prior. I have thought somewhere around 2014 a shift happened and truthfully I am all for limiting that crap.

I honestly wish instead of PSL they just said for the next 10 years every ticket has a $25 ticket tax per ticket. Figure 105 games in that time (10 5 years 11 other 5 with extra home game) in a 63k stadium it works out to 165 million. Obviously there is a reason for PSL and how they do them, but to me that is more equitable across the board.

I am very curious once GB loses Rodgers and has some lean years where they are viewed status wise by networks. Sure they have tradition and history, but realistically their biggest draw has been have MVP caliber QB play for basically 30 years (Farve & Rodgers) so they always are there. They still are a super small market and without that draw I do think they fall a bit.

Based off leaks so far the Bills are playing at BAL week 4 on SNF AND on Thanksgiving at 8:30. Guess its a doubleheader year lol
