eball Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I just looked at it today and I’m psyched. Home: AFC East, Atlanta, Carolina, Pittsburgh, Houston, Indy Road: AFC East, New Orleans, Tampa, KC, Jacksonville, Tennessee The home schedule looks like 7-1 at worst. The road schedule is tougher for sure but there are several good travel games. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 yeah I think there’s legitimately a 50/50 shot we go undefeated at home in 2021. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Every season is different. Our team will be different and all those other teams will be too. But I don't think it will get anywhere near as tough a schedule as this past season was. And I expect the Bills will be playing with a chip on their shoulder all season. 7 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I’m THRILLED we get Nashville again! Great time in a great city (and easy travel). I hope to make the home opener with the family and Nashville, Covid permitting. I may make up for games missed last year and hit an extra game or two to compensate. New Orleans looks fun (they will have new QB issues, I assume), and I’ve always wanted to experience a game in KC. I want to see their tailgate as it reminds me a bit of Bills fans. That’s a good thing. As for wins and losses, there is not a team on that list that I don’t think we can beat. PERIOD. That is not to say we will go undefeated, but every team there is going to look at our week as a tough game. Lightyears from the days when other teams and their fans felt we were an easy win! Not only does the schedule look a bit easier (which can admittedly be deceiving), but our home field advantage will be improved if our fans are there in force. Few teams can rival our home field advantage due to our AWESOME fans!!! EDIT: Games in Tampa or Jacksonville would be VERY appealing late in the season, but I’ll never go to a game in Florida again in September. It’s odd, because I would play tennis or walk around town in the same weather, but I sat there and just baked in the sun and heat in both cities and swore I’d never do it again! It can be BRUTAL if you’re not lucky. Not trying to0 talk our fans out of representing, I just learned my lesson. . .

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I said about a month ago 2021 is the best shot for the Bills to go deep as they have a pretty easy schedule facing the AFC south and NFC south. Excluding AFC East games as play them every year, the only really tough games I see is Indy at home and maybe Pitt, and At Tampa, KC, and Tenn. But one of these years Brady will finally look his age. Forgot to add in Washington at a location to be determined. Edited January 28, 2021 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus99 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I see 12-4 of course it is way way way too early ! So much can happen between now and the 2021 season but just for the fun of it let me say a prediction We sweep the Dolphins , for some reason we split against the NY Jets we sweep the Pats At home we win them all except either Indy or maybe we lose to the Steelers ( 1 home loss ) we go 7-1 Away we lose the Chiefs , New Orleans or Tampa and at NY Jets a game should clearly win but just a bad game ( 3 road losses ) 5-3 That extra game I think 17 games ? Let me do W so I say 13-4 Playoffs we zip right through them until we meet KC again on the road but again we come up very short in the AFC championship in 2022 our new nemesis . It is gonna be a problem but 2023 we go the Super Bowl come back here and less see if I am correct . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road schedule is tougher for sure but there are several good travel games. Much easier than 2020 is my conclusion. Genuine chance of 8-0 at home. Trickier on the road but KC, Tenn and Tampa are the only three with a claim to be in that top tier of teams where the Bills belong (given the Saints don't have a QB and are in cap hell). Bills should comfortably win double digit games again and to be honest 12 or 13 wins looks very achievable. 6 hours ago, JGMcD2 said: I’ve got a real sneaky feeling we will be playing KC week 1 and to open the season if they win the Super Bowl.

But I don't think it will get anywhere near as tough a schedule as this past season was. And I expect the Bills will be playing with a chip on their shoulder all season. MJS, I mentioned something the other day in getting ready for championship weekend. The SOS prior to the season starting among various organization was either 5th or 6th depending upon the source. Post season our schedule for 2020 was posted after the games were played was 15th or 16th depending upon the outlet. It just reminded me you can only trust those SOS articles so much. I’m not saying you or anyone else is carrying any weight with you guys. Just reminds me to take just as a referencing point. On paper it looks like Tampa, KC, Steelers maybe, Indy, and TN could be a challenge. I didn’t add NO as how do you predict how well they will play without Brees (assuming he retires). Could the Steelers nosedive with Ben falling even farther off in performance and does the Steelers want to retain him at his cost as its astronomical in 2021. Could Brady retire if he wins the SB. Probably not, but you never know. Without Rivers, are the Colts going to be as strong? No one knows, and eball thanks for the thread. I’ve put off starting this thread until after the season so appreciate it. The last part is how good will the Bills play in 2021. I guess we’ll know a lot more after free agency and the draft. We should have a better handle once we know who is in and off the team. One thing that is the brutal truth 😂 is I believe completely McBeane will figure it out. They are shrewd and history dictates they will continue to make good decisions. In McBeane we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I also think the Bills have gone Prime Time and see at least 4 night games. Maybe 5?

Blasphemy Doc, the Pats? 😄 I agree with you there will always be unexpected losses. Remember this year, everyone was commenting before the Titans that we would win because we beat them in 19, even though it barely against Marriotta. I guess this is why I don’t bet on football. Too many variable makes it too risky. A case in point the 4-11 Dolphins beat the Pats in week 17 of 2019. Anyone predict that one. It should be a fun year.

My thinking behind that is the NFL likes to schedule divisional games the last game of the season so we'd have nothing to play for entrenched in that #2 seed behind KC.

machine gun kelly Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 H2O, this is on the AFC rotation. In 2018, the last time we played the AFCS, the game was home, not in TN. Now in 2019 we had the same ranking for the South vs. East, and we were at home for the Broncos that year. Why the schedulers chose the Broncos at home and TN away is probably not high on their priorities. If it helps bud, they’ll have to come to Buffalo in 2024. Just to try and drive you nuts (just kidding), those sick son of a guns if we finish winning the East and they win the South, guess where are playing in 2022? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
