eball Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) 2 minutes ago, The Wiz said: The two 4pm games while playing home makes me think it's fake. I know they have in the past but that's usually when they are playing on the west coast, not at home. It's fake. We already have two confirmed NYJ games (W1 on road, W17 at home), although the W4 vs. Pats*** appears to be legit. Just now, corta765 said: Really sucks that is not an easier opener and its a roadie for the 2nd straight year which is very unfair. Not really.

I believe home field advantage matters least of all in the opening week because both teams are fired up. I'm actually glad we open on the road. And I'm very pleased we get the Pats*** early in the season when they are typically at their weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the additions the Bills had I still think they need everything in their corner if they want to make the playoffs. Remember that fast start in 2017 helped propel them to the playoffs and give them some room to mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nfl is a business and is all about money It hasn’t been a ticket driven league in many years. Those days were long ago eclipsed by tv money etc. The Patriots will sell out every home game regardless of when they are played. This is strictly about playoff positioning and nothing else.
