Dorkington Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 As of right now, I see 4-12. Opinion may change after draft and pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Think the team will stay down in Florida in the week between the Bucs and the Jags game? Last year they stayed on the west coast for the week, but that was a little further and likely had something to do with the time change/jet lag. But the weather in Florida in December, and Buffalo, may convince them to stay down in the warm weather to practice. If it were up to me, I think I would have them stay. I was thinking the same thing...... You fly to Orlando do Bucs and Jags game and mid week do Disney/Universal/Sea World To top it off... Sabres play at Tampa Bay during that week.

ganesh Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I think our season will be defined in the last 4 games, at bucs, at jags, home vs fins then on the road at pats Why ? If we are 1-11 going into those 4 games, why do those games matter. I think in the NFL every game is a defining game. Fans would go if we actually played a meaningful games in December, its been a decade! +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Nice Sunny December schedule. Most of you complain about Home games in December well now you get your wish. Overall I like it. I like a young coaching staff starting out with 4/6 home games. Then he gets to take his show on the road to close out the season. Oh and !@#$ the Patriots! See ya week 1, Marsha.

yungmack Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Brutal schedule...3 teams coming off bye weeks for starters...Atlanta indoors...Improved Browns on Thursday night...late season bye...looks like the Bills are the early favorite in the Johnny Football sweepstakes at 3-13.

Bronc24 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We have a new coaching staff, one receiver, half an OL, and no quarterback, and yet we're talking about beating the top two quarterbacks to open up the season. If this isn't the best part of football season, I don't know what is. Every year when the schedule comes out, everyone turns into Jake and Elwood Blues. It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it. Not saying we win those games. Just saying it will serve as a barometer as to how the season will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Browns Bills TNF. That ought to get a few hundred people watching. Can't wait till my team is on is good enough to be on primetime again. Edited April 19, 2013 by Just in Atlanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Once it comes out, talk about it here. UPDATE : http://www.nfl.com/s.../2013/REG/Bills Sept 8 - 1PM - Pats Sept 15 - 1PM - Panthers Sept 22 - 4:25PM - @ Jets Sept 29 - 1PM - Ravens Oct 3 - 8:25PM - @ Browns (Thursday Night game) Oct 13 - 1PM - Bengals Oct 20 - 1PM - @ Dolphins Oct 27 - 1PM - @ Saints Nov 3 - 1PM - Chiefs Nov 10 - 1PM - @ Steelers Nov 17 - 1PM - Jets Nov 24 - bye week Dec 1 - 4:05PM - Falcons (Toronto) Dec 8 - 1PM - @ Bucs Dec 15 - 1PM - @ Jags Dec 22 - 1PM - Dolphins Dec 29 - 1PM -@ Pats This is about as favorable a schedule as fans could have hoped for. 5 games at the Ralph in warmer weather. Toronto game in winter as it always should be against an NFC team no one cares about. This is good. If only the team was competitive...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo848 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Has anyone ever seen anything detailing each teams cumulative preparation day difference each year? The Bills this year, play three teams coming off a bye, and play three teams coming off of a Thursday night game so that they have 10 days to prepare instead of 3. The Bills play the Falcons after their bye, but the Falcons are one of the teams that play a Thursday night game the week before, so that's only 4 days extra to prepare for the Falcons. We have 3 extra days to prepare for the Bengals (the Browns and Bills play on the previous Thursday so there's no net gain or loss against the Browns). That's plus 7. However, we also have -21 from the three teams coming off byes, and -6 from the other two teams playing the Thursday night before they play us. That's a cumulative total of 20 extra days that our opponents get to prepare and rest up for us that we don't also have. I looked at it last year, and found a net loss there as well. The Patriots, on the other hand, have extra days against the Bucs (+3, Thursday night game), Panthers (+7, bye) and Ravens (+1, Ravens coming off Monday night), while they have a loss against the Broncos (-1, coming off Monday night game). That's a net gain of +10. Is anyone else pissed off bye this lack of parity and blatant favoritism? Edited April 19, 2013 by Haplo848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbringer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I like how the Bills and Browns obligatory night game was stuck on the opening week of baseball's postseason. It'll still beat baseball in the ratings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCOHEN13 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Week 1, at home vs the Pats! IF (and thats a HUGE IF) we can somehow find a way to beat Pats, i think this years schedule is perfect set-up. Season opener at home, with new crew, we will have some tricks up our sleeves! Best possible scenario is having our home game vs Pats as season opener when Brady will be without Welker for 1st time... Gronk and Hernandez are both hobbled so the "usual suspects" who can carved us up twice a year wont all be there. With it being season opener, ANYTHING can happen... Also love the fact that our week 17 match-up is in Foxboro. Good chance Pats will be playing for nothing as usual on week 17. At least if we stink it up, we wont "need" that game and if we are somehow alive and still in hunt.. good chance Brady and co. are playing for nothing and get their B squad.. Here's to optimism!! GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I remember the last time we opened and closed the season against the Pats*. 31-0 and 0-31. Such symmetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I like how the Bills and Browns obligatory night game was stuck on the opening week of baseball's postseason. Smart for them to put two teams that have been bad in recent years on a night where their ratings were probably going to suffer anyway. I was flipping through channels last night and hit one of the ESPNs while they were going through teams schedules and predicting wins and losses, and I happened in at the start of them doing the pats*. For the opener they said that the Bills generally play the pats* tough when its within the first few games of the year, but predicted a pats* win (Bills leading late but making a mistake to hand the game to the pats*). But on the last game it got a bit insulting with comments like "the Bills will have been out of the playoffs for a while by this time and will have their bags packed and in their cars before kickoff", pats* win.

Gordio Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Agreed, except that is the holiday season, and the Community Relations dept may want some of the players in Buffalo at the charity events. & you got to remember too they will probably be 4-9 by that point so does it really matter where they stay?

Gordio Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 From the tone and tenor of discussion, why bother playing at all next season. Really? Every season good teams slide back while others improve. The road schedule is difficult but not impossible. Jets, Browns, Dolphins, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville are games that can be won. New Orleans, New England and Pitts burgh will be difficult. I am seeing signs within the Bills that next season they will be a better team and more entertaining. Every year people know what teams we are playing just not the dates but when the schedule comes out people are like I can't see us winning more then 2 games. We have the 7th easiest schedule in the NFL based on last seasons results & only 5 teams that we play made the playoffs last year. Does not sound too bad to me.
