CLTbills Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 8 hours ago, TwistofFate said: Yea, brutal. 8 games against playoff caliber teams from this season. Yes, but as of right now, that means nothing. Indy looked scary good, potential AFC championship contender coming into this year. Dallas seemed primed for a run. Cleveland was looked at as another AFC contender. The defending NFC champs were almost unstoppable last year until the Super Bowl, now aren't going to be playing at all in January. These things seem to fluctuate so much from year to year that it may look scary now, but by next September or October, this could be totally flipped and the "pundits" could be talking about how easy the Bills' schedule is again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may suck for the locals if the Bills still play “better” on the road so, are you saying 15-1? Yes, because we won't know if we play Indianapolis or Tennessee until the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have a lot of confidence in this front office, with it's 90 million cap space and 9 draft picks, that they will do everything they can to have this team be a playoff/super bowl contender for the next several years.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Not to be a party pooper, but I hear every season this schedule is really tough and this one is really easy. It sure doesn't seem to pan out that way given the nature of the game. If you are interested in going to see a particular game or team I get it. As far as predictive for playoffs etc. I don't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 7 hours ago, Gugny said: I don't see how this looks tough based on this season: Home Miami - sucks New England - beatable- McB is 0-6 against BB and Brady. If we can split, that would be great. New York Jets - sucks- This is actually our only game in 2019 where we lost the Passer rating differential and still won the game. I am not sure even this Sunday is a gimme. That said, if Gase comes back I think the wheels fall off. Kansas City - tough Los Angeles Chargers - sucks Los Angeles Rams - beatable Seattle - tough Pittsburgh - sucks- They are a QB away. Might even make the post season with their 3rd string UDFA QB. Away Miami - sucks New England - beatable- McB is 0-6 against BB and Brady. If we can split, that would be great. New York Jets - suck Arizona - suck- They are definitely trending up, at least offensively. Denver - suck San Francisco - tough Las Vegas - suck Indianapolis or Tennessee - Indy sucks; Tennessee beatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco_92 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think THIS YEAR's Bills team against THIS YEAR's those teams go 10-6 or 11-5. Not worried at all, and we're going to be a better team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They determined it in 2002 that we would play home against the AFC North opponent in 2020. It's just a rotating schedule.

It sure doesn't seem to pan out that way given the nature of the game. If you are interested in going to see a particular game or team I get it. As far as predictive for playoffs etc. I don't see it. I just don't agree. I think it pretty much does play out. There is always the odd game - Pittsburgh this year being one with the Big Ben injury - that ends up very different, but generally I think the schedules play out as they look. I have not been more than 1 game out forecasting a Bills season W-L total in the 6 years I have been posting here and I won't be this season either having said 10-6. If you watch enough of the rest of the league you can generally forecast who the good teams are. An example on next year's schedule is don't count out the Arizona Cardinals. That, on the road, is going to be a really tough game. They are a 5 win team that could easily have won 8 games this year. The NFC West is probably the deepest division in football at the moment. None of those games are ones I can sit here at the moment and say are definite wins. Another interesting comparison on that Bills schedule compared to this is that next year it is very possible there will be no 1st year coaches. Anthony Lynn is probably the one in most strife but I expect he will be back. This season the Bills have played 7 games against teams with Head Coaches in their first year in the job and 1 game against an interim HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to know how "tough" it will be at this stage before the offseason, the draft, training camp and injuries leading up to the game. Everyone every year says how "tough" next years schedule will be and this year we ended up with one of the easiest schedules in the league. Last year at this time we were being told how "tough" our schedule was for this season. There is almost ZERO correlation between teams records from year to year so trying to project to the following year based on this years records is a fools errand.

The Red King Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 How are you guessing home for Pitt and away for Colts/Titans? The other fourteen games are locked in, I know. But those two, drawn from the second place teams of the AFC divisions we're not playing don't follow the same pattern of alternating home/away.
