    I was not busting on you at all sorry if you thought that.

     

    I for one will be very happy when we get the info as well as others will be.

     

    Personal I love seeing posters post about let's go to Tampa or Tennessee let's meet up that is what I love much about this board.

    I was planning a New Orleans this year but if we open at Tampa, I will need to change that

    Dunkirk Don is that you

     

    Follow the 💰

    O sorry wrong thread 

     

    Thanks op 

    Dunkirk Don just made up a bunch of stuff and was full of himself. I'm not even predicting who we will play and when. Just saying that if teams are notified today we might get some leaks a day early

  3. I was listening to Schopp and the Bulldog last Friday and Schopp was talking about how he knows a guy in the league who knows when teams are notified of their schedules and he said that the teams are normally told "the morning of the day the schedule comes out" but that this year teams will find out the day before which would mean that teams will find out today instead of tomorrow. That could mean that we get some early leaks. I guess we will wait and see. I'm excited 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    There a few mornic NFL media member who have said the NFL should release parts of the schedule weekly. I think given how fans, media, and cities need the schedule to plan out for the games they can't do something to that magnitude, but I am still expecting something dumb and money driven in the future.

     

    That is impressive I would like to see your list. TNF use to be easier when it was all division games minus the opener, they still have some emphasis on division but it is more spread.

    Yeah, I'll probably put it out at some point today since the schedule comes out tomorrow. I think I might have missed on the opening Thursday night game though because it's starting to sound more and more like it's gonna be the Bills and Buccs. I made it the the Saints vs Buccs and had the Bills at Chiefs for the opening Sunday Night Game week 1

  5. Because I'm a nerd, I actually sat down and made a prediction for all primetime games week by week. It only took like 2 hours but I think I might hit on some matchups, just not the exact weeks

     

    Thursday Night Games

    Sunday Night Games

    Monday Night Games

    Who I believe will play on Thanksgiving 

    And the Saturday Double Header in week 18. It was fun. I was able to put the Bills on prime time 5 times lol

    The Chiefs entered the off season after getting man handled in the Super Bowl because their O-line had fallen apart.  They blew up their O-line and decided to rebuild.  On paper at least, they look to have improved the line.  They signed Joe Thuney to a 5 year $80 million contract and he will slide into the left guard position.  They then signed Kyle Long to a one year deal to step into the right guard position.  They resigned Mike Remmers to play right tackle and then traded with the Ravens for Orlando Brown to step in as their left tackle.  They signed Austin Blythe from the Rams to play center, and then drafted the 2nd ranked center, Creed Humphrey, to push Blythe and develop into their future center.  The only free agent they lost of any consequence was Sammy Watkins which should not slow them down much.

     

    I think on the whole the O-line is upgraded and they kept the rest of the band together.  I don't see any reasonable argument to say the Chiefs shouldn't remain the #1 seed in the AFC heading into the 2021 season.

     

    The Browns will leap frog us this season and be the primary threat to the Chiefs.   If you look at the playoffs last year, the Browns came within a fumbled football out of the endzone from beating the Chiefs.  The Bills by comparison didn't even make a game of it against the Chiefs.  The Browns' roster seems to match up better against the Chiefs, and that was before the Browns very impressive off season.

     

    The defense was the weak side of the ball last season and the Browns attacked this off season with that in mind.  They snagged John Johnson the best free agent safety on the market to address a huge weakness and also added CB Troy Hill who will be an instant upgrade.  They brought in Clowney to stack opposite Miles Garrett on the D-line.  They then drafted CB Greg Newsome and LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah who should both start this season.  The Browns bring back their offense intact and Mayfield will have the benefit of playing in the same offense for the first time in his career.  OBJ will also be back this season.

     

    The Bills did a great job of resigning their key free agents this year and also upgraded the backup QB position.  They brought in Sanders to replace Brown which could be an up grade and added Hollister to the TE room.  We all hope that having Star back will have a ripple effect on the D-line and result in better play across the entire line and allow our LB play to improve as well.  The entire team will benefit from another year of coaching and scheme stability and hopefully some of our young players like Oliver and Edmunds will take a step forward this year.

     

     

    Overview   A lot is made of the Bills retaining their own talent, and I agree that Beane did a great job of maintaining a roster that made it to the AFC Championship game, but the uncomfortable truth is that the Chiefs maintained their roster too AND improved their O-Line.   The Browns also avoided any key free agency loses AND improved their defensive secondary and brought in Clowney on the D-line.  The Browns and Chiefs will also benefit from another year of coaching and scheme stability just like the Bills.

     

    The off season isn't over yet, but the free agency period is winding down and the Draft is over.  Baring injuries, any changes to the rosters of the Chiefs, Browns, and Bills before opening weekend will likely just be on the margins before opening weekend.  When Andy Reid looks out across the AFC, I think he is probably more worried about what is going on in Cleveland than what is going on in Buffalo.  I think the Browns have improved enough this off season to move past us and become the primary threat to the Chiefs this year. 

     

    At this point I'd rank the AFC;    1. Chiefs  2. Browns  3. Bills

    I disagree, I think if the Browns came to Orchard Park for the AFC Championship game last year that we were going to Tampa. I don't think the Browns stood a chance on our home field and even if the game was in Cleveland, I think we still would have beat them

    I think the league has a rule where a team can be on primetime 5 times max. 

    This is true. I actually read it somewhere

    I used to always want night games. Now that I’m old I prefer 1 pm games. 8:30 is my bedtime 

    It's amazing that people would complain about staying up later a few nights a year to watch the Bills on primetime. Especially after not doing it at all really for like 15 years prior

    So... Brevin Jordan, a developmental day 3 TE prospect, was going to push us over the edge for a Super Bowl? That is some weird justification.

    He was the 4th ranked TE in most circles behind Pitts, Freiermuth and Hunter Long on most boards. Daniel Jeremiah said he was surprised he fell as far as he did. And yes, I would rather take a chance on a TE that could help us over an OT. And he is more than developmental

    It would have wise to take a TE two rounds before his proper value because you think it's a need? Alright.

    Our team is stacked. We are Super Bowl ready now. Why are we worrying about BPA in the 3rd round or later for one player? We took an OT in round 3. Is he really gonna be that much better for us than a TE?

    I think we're set at TE.  I expect them to keep 3 on the active roster.  We have Knox, Sweeney and Hollister.  We also have Gilliam and Becker.  I know none of these guys are world beaters, but this late in the draft, do you really expect to find one?

    George Kittle was a 5th rounder, Antonio Gates was Undrafted, Darren Waller was a 6th rounder. You can find guys at the position

    Are you saying they should have taken him 2 rounds ago or...?

    Well, considering we didn't have a 4th rounder, it might have been wise. An athletic TE is a need. Whether it was him or one of the others. BPA is great the first couple rounds but our team is stacked. Os there really a reason not to take a shot on a need pick in the 3rd round or later? It's not like one player is gonna set the team back. Especially, a TE
