purple haze Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Bills and all other 3rd place teams are locked in. Baltimore, St. Louis, Seattle, Oakland, Cincinnati, and the AFC East. Every game will be difficult even Baltimore with a presumably healthy Flacco. Preseason may only be favored against Miami. If Bills improve it might not be so tough. Who knows? And that St. Louis game might be in L.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Does the NFL already have deals made in Los Angeles to start playing there next year, even without a new stadium? Are they going to use the Rose Bowl or the Los Angeles Coliseum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Apps Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Man that schedule doesn't ware well for the Bills especially considering it's a crucial one for Rex's tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Does the NFL already have deals made in Los Angeles to start playing there next year, even without a new stadium? Are they going to use the Rose Bowl or the Los Angeles Coliseum? Still TBD. They have to figure out whether OAK or SD will move to LA from the AFC while it looks as if it'll be STL from the NFC. @mikerodak The Bills might play in Los Angeles once, and perhaps even twice, next season: http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/23071/bills-might-play-in-los-angeles-at-least-once-next-season Edited December 28, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't know. When I thought about all the off-season additions and looked at the 2015 schedule, playing the NFC East & AFC South (we were 4-4 against them), I was so high on the Bills I bought season tickets for $5,611 !! That's how sure I was that the Bills would have a good season. So to re-state - I don't know anything. We're good enough to beat anyone and bad enough to lose to anyone. That said, here's our 2016 Opponents (including the AFC Central & NFC West). (courtesy of Bflo Rumblings) Based on our uneven performance this year, I think next year will be tougher and I project our record to be around 7-9. Sickening!! Need the Defense to get stout. Confident TT will be better next year with a training camp where he is #1 throughout. If the Defense plays like most of us thought they would and TT/offense gets better, our upside would be more like 10-6 Still may not be good enough! Home games New England Patriots (12-3) New York Jets (10-5) Miami Dolphins (5-10) Pittsburgh Steelers (9-6) Cleveland Browns (3-12) Arizona Cardinals (13-2) San Francisco 49ers (4-11) Jacksonville Jaguars (5-10) Road games New England Patriots (12-3) New York Jets (10-5) Miami Dolphins (5-10) Cincinnati Bengals (11-3) Baltimore Ravens (5-10) St. Louis Rams (7-8) Seattle Seahawks (9-6) Oakland Raiders (7-8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 There is no way to predict anything in the NFL. This year so many teams predicted to do great things were mediocre or bad. Miami, Indy, Baltimore, Eagles, Chargers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 AFC central? Blast from the past. I think that if the NFL went back to that kind alignment, it may be better. Three div winners and three wilcards. I feel like the better teams may tend to get in the playoffs that way. Not as many 7-9 or 8-8 "division champions".

Next year's non-AFCE scheduled Bills opponents (next tweet)... Home: CLE, PIT, ARZ, SFRAN, same finisher as AFC South; Away: BAL, CIN, STL, SEA, same finisher as AFC West They'll likely have OAK from the AFC West. Since we're keeping Rex, I'm in 2017 mode.

metzelaars_lives Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) There is no doubt it is a tough schedule. This year's level of performance on that schedule would mean 4-12. They might win 4 division games this year alone. Assuming they win 3, you're asserting that this year's team, with the NFL's 11th ranked offense, goes 1-9 outside of the division to that schedule? Who would they have lost to, Cleveland or San Francisco at home? I mean, come on guys. The level of hyperbole on this website is a little ridiculous sometimes.

I was not saying "this year's team" I was saying the level of performance we have had this year, particularly on defense would mean bad news next year on that schedule. I don't think we can take for granted that we are going to win 3 division games next year. This team has to take a major leap defensively in the off-season because if it performs the way it has this year 20th will look like a decent ranking by this time next season. The season is over though... I am looking on the bright side now and saying the defense will get better. Still as I sit here today and look at that schedule I think going better than 8-8 is gonna be tough sledding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I've thought of this since the schedule came out. This year we barely cracked 8-8 against the AFCS and NFCE. The two worst divisions in football. We're going to do better with the powerful NFCW, and always tough AFCN. I've said last month 5-11. We'd better have one hell of a draft since we have no money for free agency. I wouldn't be surprised if we do cut McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
