Dan Darragh Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Not only are the Bills a winner here, but you could argue that they were actually the biggest benefactor when it comes to the revamped schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blainorama5 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 We'll see what all that conjecture actually adds up to in the next couple weeks of the Bills. Do they end up beating the COVIDs, then beat the Chiefs, only to lose to the Jets?? I don't know - do you? The teams that have the right kind of organizational flexibility will probably do best this year, but hey The Raiders just beat the Chiefs in Arrow head... so anything's possible.

ProcessAccepted Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) So we were meant to play on a Sunday and then on a Thursday which is the same as the Chiefs. Now we play on Tuesday get all this extra rest and play on a Monday while the Chiefs have from Sunday to Monday (2 extra days) to rest and prepare. OK CBS. What does the C stand for because I've figured out the BS part. Edited October 12, 2020 by ProcessAccepted 1 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) That was one of the dumbest things I've read. He writes the Bills get an advantage for having extra rest for KC then immediately writes that KC gets an advantage because they will have extra rest for the Bills.

boater Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Quote Of course, the downside here is that the Bills will lose out on rest heading into Week 7, but they play the Jets that week, so it's probably not going to be an issue. Harsh on the Jets, but true. Edited October 12, 2020 by boater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) The Bills totally got out of this fine. Yes, they had some uncertainty so they put two game plans in at once, but the bottom line is extra rest before Tennessee and two days more to prep for KC than they originally had. They'll have a few fewer days to get ready for the Jests but that's hardly a penalty. Edited October 12, 2020 by eball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mentioned as a positive for Chiefs but not negative to Bills because it goes against writer's argument. Lazy way of doing it - ignore any facts which do not support your argument.

Utah John Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This really comes down to particulars. The Bills have quite a few players listed as questionable. Maybe the extra rest before the Titans game will let some of them return to play. It's unknowable who might get hurt vs Tennessee so from this standpoint this looks good. Not to mention that the Titans have a lot more players unavailable because they're still quarantined. You've still gotta play the game. Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pry helps our chances against the Titans but hurts them against the Chiefs with us having two less days in between games. We'll see who does and doesn't play for both teams tomorrow before we can really say who this helped more.

Ayjent Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I love the loser analysis of Broncos, Patriots and they don't go into a single reason why it is a negative for the Patriots other than having their bye week shifted. Umm...when you don't have your two best players available and you get a bye because of it being COVID-related...I think that is a win. A HUGE WIN. But that would have taken a few minutes of thought and doesn't support the argument. I just don't know how you get to a conclusion that the team is a winner that gets jerked around with waiting to see which way things go in terms of preparing for two different games and not knowing when they'll play. All while waiting to see if they have to play the team that is dealing with an outbreak (which could have multiple positive tests on the scheduled gameday). Nothing stressful about what the Bills are going through, right?! These games are only against undefeated teams that were in the AFC Championship game last year. The Chiefs get out of a huge game being on a short week. The Bills still have a short week and have to deal with the uncertainty of possibly getting positive tests after playing these turds that can't seem to respect the protocol. But they play the Jets so its a win. SMH Edited October 13, 2020 by Ayjent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
