Teams look at their schedule and see the Patriots as one of their easier games.

Because it was funny.

True. But the Bills have had very favorable schedules the past couple of years with rest advantages, so we are probably due for some of those disadvantages.

I think it is worth pointing out that everything about the schedule is predetermined based on record and rotation, so we know opponents and home vs away as soon as the season ends. The only thing we don't know is the order of the games until schedule release day.

I thought it was fun.

I think the Ravens have a tougher schedule, though.

Are you talking about KC pre Spagnuolo? He has been there since 2019. The Bills moved on from a DC as well in that timespan, btw (Leslie Frazier).

Considering KC, Philly, and Detroit are all above the Bills in defensive spending, it seems like the Bills are on the right track, right?

We've known that for a long time. You guaranteed it was the least in NFL history and it isn't even the least this season?

I don't think they'll beat Cincy or Miami. I don't think they have a big leg up on many of those other teams. That is the best possible scenario for them, but they will lose more games than that for sure.

It's a good schedule. My hope was to face Cincy early rather than late, but oh well. And it would be nice to have a later bye week.

Yes, I am the Damar Hamlin expert 🤣

I don't like starting the season against Baltimore, especially since we have those defensive players suspended. They would have helped, I think. Oh well. And facing Cincy so late means they'll be playing well by then.

Agreed, but I don't think Hyde or Poyer are good enough to be on the wall.

He also had a very low percentage of catchable passes thrown to him.

I don't think he was headhunting. He was just trying to make plays but he is too slow to do it anymore.

They'll be fine.

There seems to be some kind of misconception about Hamlin that he is a poor athlete and really slow. That's just not true. He is an average to above average athlete at safety. He has an RAS of a 7, which means he is above average. His composite speed grade is good. He is 100% an NFL caliber athlete. People need to stop saying he isn't, because it is false. Does that mean he should be the starter? Not at all. He is a good depth safety with starting experience, though. Not a bad guy to have on the roster. Bishop is an elite athlete though.

I have zero tattoos. But if I got one, it would not be of a male celebrity.

It is extremely weird to get a tattoo of another man on your body.

I stated he is better than Hamlin. That was with the assumption that he would be the 3rd safety behind Rapp and Bishop as starters. And if he does outplay Hamlin and slot ahead of him in the depth chart, that means he is good enough to at least fill in as a starter, just like Hamlin did. But I think we are all hoping that Bishop is the starter. It would be disappointing if he isn't. He should start even if he needs to pass through some growing pains.

Why would he leap Bishop?

People go to jail for that all the time.

I guess they better stay friends.

Founding of what?
