boyst Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Gut feeling, we open @ Cincinnati. we opened away last year. the nfl has a sort of quasi thing against doing that to teams back to back. it happens, but generally you'll open at home in the first or second week. some times ya play two home games in a row.

YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Awesome I can start planning my LA trip which originally was going to be San Diego.i was talking to Josh Perry a couple weeks ago (ran into him out one night) and he said he has no clue what to expect from the soccer stadium.

Just Jack Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Gut feeling, we open @ Cincinnati. I still say it should be your division opponents the first three weeks, and last three weeks.

Â Â Yeah that is definitely going to be a funny experience I am also wondering how much tickets will be since there are going to be a lot less on the market Yeah, that is going to be a weird situation. Â I plan on going to that game, but I am terrified at how much tickets will be at face value. Â It really sucks that the Chargers moved to Los Angeles. San Diego is/was the best road trip in the NFL. Such a beautiful city and a splendid area. The San Diego Bills Backers always made it a great time. I will really miss that experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We did home openers of jets, Miami, Indy, NE* I don't remember if we opened week 1 Indy or ne*. But definitely remember Balt last year. It is likely to be an account team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 isn't that due to baseball? Is it? I have no idea. But I'd be curious to know about this as well as about similar specific scheduling constraints/requests. Â I did hear on WGR a couple weeks ago that Cincy had requested a Week 1 opener. Not sure of their source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I did hear on WGR a couple weeks ago that Cincy had requested a Week 1 opener. Not sure of their source. maybe the Reds are away that day. I remember the Ravens couldn't play at home week 1 the year after the won the SB as the SB winning traditionally opens on TNF at home, because of the Orioles.

BringBackFergy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am predicting we play the Patriots at home the week after they play Thursday night football and the Pats visit us the week after their bye. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah that is definitely going to be a funny experience I am also wondering how much tickets will be since there are going to be a lot less on the market According to this article, average face value price will be $192 with the range being $70 (behind North end zone) to $375 (behind Chargers bench). They are expecting to take in as much as a normal size stadium so obviously the prices need to be high. Â I've been to several LA Galaxy (soccer) games at StubHub, I've always had good seats, but I can't imagine that there are really any bad seats in the house. Last year I went to the Bills/Lambs game, paid just over $100/ticket, and was so far away I could barely see the field. Â Also, there was a huge Bills Backers party near the stadium. Â Personally, I'm really psyched to see a Bills game in this venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloaggie Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My guess is home against the Titans week 1. Titans aren't on the schedule this year. Bills play the AFC West, NFC South, Indy at home and Cincy on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm going totally guessing here that cinci is first away game. Patriots or Indy first home game.

GunnerBill Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 So week 1 won't be New England. They will open on the Thursday night and the smart money is on a Superbowl rematch against Atlanta.

papazoid Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 we got screwed....

I can see the NFL wanting Atlanta on the Sunday night game opening weekend to showcase that puppy. Â And NE-Atlanta in one of the Sunday afternoon slots would crush in November.
