The Panthers, Redskins and Colts seem like pretty usual pre-season opponents for us too. Edited April 10, 2017 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) It is a Ralph law. I would just like to give it a rest. Probably because week 4 preseason is such a crapfest. Maybe seeing a different team would make it slightly better. Edited April 10, 2017 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm hoping the Bills play the Bucs at home, in week 2 or 3. I'll be up there around then...I think it could be a great match-up. He may be a douche, but I think Jamies is going to be a very good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I always thought it would be cool if the Bills played a 'friendly' against the Argonauts...like they do in soccer. The NFL and the players union regulates how often they can wear pads in practice. You think they would allow a "friendly" to be played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I like having 1 and 3,. I hate 2-4 Game one your excited even if its preseason because the offseason is so long. Game 3 is your last look at most of the starters. Game 2 ho hum preseasons a week old. Game 4 boring as hell nothing but scrubs and ps.
