mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Playing Jax away (London) versus @ home is really great for a few reasons, one of which is we didn't have to waste one of our home games to a team we will beat & it's a neutral site game. Playing Indy at home & first gets a tough game out of the way with the home crowd's (12th man) energy to lead us. Brady should at least have 2 games left on his suspension after appeal & we get to play his back-up in the season without Bill B. having much game film on us. No way we normally get that lucky to play the world champion team without their starter, normally the QB from those teams always plays early the following year (like always). One other non-opponent related event, our Bye-week nearly splits the season in half. Other teams have a bye week after the first month (Pats in our division!!) versus 2 months for us.

mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 One thing I didn't bother to mention is the Dallas @ Buffalo game could get flexed to a prime-time spot if both teams play well. We all remember the last Dallas prime-time game in the Ralph, it was an amazing atmosphere & fun to watch (until the end). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't think the schedule is as bad as some have made it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Super Bowl contenders win football games. Schedule doesn't mean jack. Win at home and split on the road and we make the playoffs.I'd rather beat Brady and the Pats than just beat the Pats. But I'll take the W either way.

maddenboy Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I think its a bit too early to really glean anything from the schedule. Lets wait until (1) we know who our QB is, and how he should fare against certain defenses, (2) what the final roster is, (3) what our opponents' final rosters look like. Its all about matchups, and we dont know enuf about the matchups yet. But bless you for starting a thread that would actually take 3-4 pages to turn into an EJ thread. I genuinely appreciate it this time of year - we need more of that. Edited May 25, 2015 by maddenboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the Colts will do that if they beat us without Dareus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'd rather play Jacksonville in Jacksonville, but that's only because Jacksonville would be a do-able trip for me and London isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the Colts will do that if they beat us without Dareus.I don't remember everyone celebrating when the Bills had the toughest schedule in the NFL a couple of years ago? I find it odd now that people are angry that parts of the schedule are "easier." Isn't that what we should want? I was always under the impression that the goal was to win games and that every game counted the same? The rules keep changing so maybe I missed the rule change where beating Brady counts for 2 wins?

It seems like every year the Bills drop a game to a lesser opponent, last year it was the Raiders. This year going to London to face the Jaguars could be that game, Rex needs to keep them focussed for this one this is the third consecutive season the Jags have gone to London and as an organisation they should be far better prepared to play there, for that reason this game makes me nervous.
