    The schedule is usually announced randomly right around now, 1-3 weeks before the draft on a random Thursday. 

     

    So I’m curious how many primetime games does TBD think the Bills will get? 

     

    I’d set the O/U at 3.5

     

    HOME

    NYJ, MIA, NE, HOU, IND, ATL, CAR, PIT, WFT

     

    AWAY

    NYJ, MIA, NE, NO, TB, TEN, JAX, KC

     

    I only see @ KC as a lock, with 2-3 more coming out of @/vs MIA, @/vs NE, vs PIT, vs IND, @ TB

     

    My guess would be @ KC in an early season (week 2-3) SNF game, @ NE in a mid-early season MNF, @ TB in a mid-late season MNF, and vs PIT in a late season SNF. Then a week 16-17 flex option vs MIA. 

     

    So I’m placing my number at 4, with a 5th possible likely flex option. 

     

    I’d like to see NE at home in primetime, but I can only envision them getting 2 primetime games with @ TB being a lock for them, and then the NFL making their own primetime a home game thus making it more likely, IMO, that we play them on the road on primetime. 

     

    The one I’m least confident in is @ TB and could see that 4th primetime game rather be that home game vs MIA to give us 2 home & 2 away instead of 1/3

     

    Thoughts? 

    Bills at Chiefs would be an awesome opening Sunday night game. Somehow the league will mess this up though and give this a 1PM time slot so they can schedule the Giants at the Cowboys instead. You know because that game is more important

    I hope it’s not the Saints.  I’d like to have some film on them post Brees.

     

    I hope it’s not the Skins, I’d prefer to play Fitz once his arm gets tired in week 8.

     

    i hope it’s not the Pats.  I’d like to see what the new in flux of talent does to their play.  
     

    I think it will be the @Pats.  Or Colts @ Bills.  

     

     

    Right now it looks at though it's gonna be Winston as their starter. He doesn't scare me at all and if it's Taysom Hill, even better

    Wish we still had the confused reaction emoji for comments like this.

     

    Dude was the epitome of "process." Worked his way up from 7th rounder to WR1, all the while having a personality and having fun. I'm willing to bet you're in the minority of Bills fans that find him to be a loser. 

    He always seemed to be one of the few WRs in the league that actually gave Darrelle Revis fits. I can remember a few big games he had against him

    What may be the only negative aspect of the Bills success for me, is my reduced interest in the draft.  It is much more interesting when your team is drafting in the top 10! With that said, I hope we don't have another exciting draft for many years!  

    I actually prefer it in the position they are now. When the Bills picked in the top 10, the rest of the first round I didn't care for. I still always watched to see if we traded up but now that we are picking at 30, I'm actually a lot more interested in the whole thing

    They spent hundreds of millions on their renovations pretty much completely changing their stadium($655m for bears $400m for packers).  We moved some bushes around, made bigger entrances and painted($130m)


    There’s different kinds of renovations. Ours were bandaids theirs were pretty much complete rebuilds. Completely different. 
     

    The bowl needs to be replaced, concourses widened, plumbing(I think they fixed a lot of that during last reno) it’s like $500m+ estimate to get everything where it needs to be to last another 20-30 years 

    Have you seen Lambeau? For all the money they put into that stadium it doesn't look like anything special. You can tell just by watching it on TV that it's a much older stadium. But it's viewed as a major historical landmark because of Lombardi and the history there. No one gives a ***** about ours

    In 2019 USA Today ranked the top running backs selected in round one in the past decade:

     

    16.  Jahvid Best

    15.  David Wilson

    14.  Trent Richardson

    13.  CJ Spiller

    12.  Ryan Matthews

    11.   Doug "muscle hamster" Martin

    10.  Rashaad Penny 

    9.    Josh Jacobs (3.9 ypc last year....yuck)

    8.    Leonard Fournette (a career sub 4.0 ypc in a league where the average ypc is 4.2)

    7.    Sony Michel (only season he stayed healthy had 3.7 ypc)

    6.   Melvin Gordon (4 of his 6 seasons below 4.0 ypc)

    5.   Mark Ingram (long, solid career as a rotational back but not a playmaker)

     

     

    4.   Todd Gurley

    3.   Saquon Barkley

    2.   Christian Mccaffrey

    1.   Ezekiel Elliott

     

    Only the top 4 have been elite RB's..........and they weren't just first round picks......they were all picked with top 10 overall picks.

     

    And Gurley flamed out at the end of his age 24 season and Barkley is now surgically repaired after putting in two very good seasons.

     

    Fournette, Richardson and Spiller were also top 10 picks.......so even being THAT certain that the RB will be great isn't anywhere close to a lock.

     

    The rest of that list could have been undrafted and nobody would be astonished that they weren't selected.

     

    So who are all these "in most situations" guys that prove that anywhere in the 1st round is where you get superstar RB's?

     

    Last year CEH was the RB that was selected in round 1.........go back and compare his numbers to Singletary year 2......very similar.....(and note that Singletary year 1 averaged 5.0 ypc).

     

    I still would take Harris or Etienne. Like Jimmy Johnson said "if you're gonna draft a RB then draft the best one". Maybe the 3rd time would be the charm this year

    You pointed out some good current RB's that went in round 1...........I pointed out a greater number of dynamic current RB's that went from the 3rd round all the way to being undrafted.

     

    That is proof that you can get top quality RB production anywhere in the draft.    You can't tell me that the difference between McCaffrey and Kamara/Jones is "huge".  

     

    That's just not true.   

     

    And Moss and Singletary don't actually suck........they are pretty good backs but they were drafted for an offense that was under center with a lot of 12 personnel,  sometimes a fullback.......more of a power run blocking scheme.

     

    But when Allen broke out last fall.........they became more of a spread offense,  shotgun predominant, zone blocking team..........which better suits backs that are quicker, faster 1 cut types...... like Matt Breida.    

     

    With so much of the NCAA running spread offenses I like the odds of a good scouting staff being able to identify players that fit the system well anywhere in the draft.

     

    There isn't much of a difference between McCaffery and Kamara but that's just one example. In most situations, you would never find a RB in the 3rd round or later that would come close to McCaffery. How many 3rd round or later RBs are even as good as Kamara? Kamara was an anomaly in my opinion. I really believe that a dynamic RB takes this offense over the top. Harris and Etienne can be that
