Punching Bag Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Arizona is a weird choice I would think Las Vegas to be a better one being closer. Arizona is in the NFC West so they would be practicing and playing in a division opponent facility. They could even both be in playoffs if (just as an example) Tainted T*m was hit by semi.

BillsfaninSB Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Is this a big advantage, relative to playing in CA, or not? Do the 49ers get galvanized because of this decision or is it too disruptive? On paper I believe this helps the Bills especially playing there once already. Both teams now have to travel.

Did today’s scheduling rules for out-of-conference opponents not exist then? Yes, they were there in both 2008 and 2012. The same thing happened to the Cardinals where they played the Patriots in Gilette in 2008 and 2012. I believe the current scheduling format started in the early 2000s so something along the way must have tweaked the rotation a bit.

The Titans had to travel for a home game? This 49ers game could actually be the Bills only game where they have more fans in the stands than the opposition. I imagine there are Bills fans in the Arizona area that will attend...that is, if they are going to allow fans for this game? I know they do for Cardinals games but this is different so maybe there will be no attendance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurst44 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 1 hour ago, CSBill said: Well how did that "too disruptive" thing work out last time, down in Tennessee? That was always clearly more disruptive to the Bills who had to plan for two different undefeated teams, not knowing when or where they were going to play. Plus, in that case, they simply played in Tennessee so the Titans were not even disrupted as to where they were playing. In this case, the more disrupted team is clearly the 49ers as the Bills were already traveling across the country and have even played in the stadium more recently than SF as the 49ers have not played at Arizona since last year. I'm not saying the 49ers won't have the upper hand; it's just that I don't think that parallel really tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills take them more seriously and SF less "due" for a win Go Bills As crazy as it seems, I think this is the most important weekend to decide the division. Hear me out. Bills vs 9ers, Dolphins vs Bengals. Dolphins essentially get a pass this weekend while Buffalo has to travel to an in-the-hunt team, getting healthier and coming off an impressive win. After this weekend, tough games equal out for both teams BUF: Pitt, @Den, @NE, MIA MIA: Chiefs, Raiders, @NE, @BUF Bills magic number is 4. A one game lead after this week will be huge. A tied division will make it MORE of a nail biter. They still would have a 1/2 edge with a tie, but 1.5 after this week would feel a lot more comfortable. I'm sure Dolphins fans see this as a loss for the Bills. Early in the year before the injuries hit 9ers, that would be an easy one to mark down as a L. Now, with the way the Bills are playing, this is more of a toss up in my mind. It could go either way. Edited November 30, 2020 by wjag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
