Prefer to get them nice and early while they are still trying to mesh all the pieces. Wouldn't you prefer them on the road then, so we can host them later if/when their roster gels and BB gets better post-September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I like to play a young team with a new coach as those teams often improve the greatest throughout the year. Give me the Texans, @Jaguars, or Jets in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the logic I just like the idea of a home opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) How about a simple 1pm start? How about being Trevor Lawrence's first opponent and the Bills basically have a layup in week one? Edited April 11, 2021 by njbuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a place to watch the games, join the North New Jersey Bills Backers at Duffy’s in Paterson. We have a great group that gathers there for all the games.

ProcessTruster Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 the home opener will be just electric this year... a normal 1pm start would be great against an AFC East opponent. Nice , full stadium. Magic , really. I kind of hope they open up on the road in some kind of road game to make the media happy, but come back for a traditional 1pm start at OP. Just sayin'. . I need to figure out how to get to a game in Sept or Oct. Haven't been in 5-6 years. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it happens though Why do you think it won't be Tampa? The Bills are the best team they play at home. Giants, Cowboys maybe have a bit more glitz. Saints are a big rivalry but without Brees, not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home opener will probably be more expensive than your standard year however, but aftermarket for the October games will likely be a little more reasonable. Plus, there’s always the ticket subforum on here... Edited April 11, 2021 by RiotAct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to figure out how to get to a game in Sept or Oct. Haven't been in 5-6 years. any ideas? First of all you'll need a ticket, I no longer recommend sneaking in (as a kid in the 70s we jumped the fence quite a number of times for the Bills and concerts, never got caught). Then you will need to transport yourself to Orchard Park. Depending on where you are starting from, I recommend planes, trains, and automobiles. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants, Cowboys maybe have a bit more glitz. Saints are a big rivalry but without Brees, not the same. I'm just trying to think along the lines of how the NFL thinks. They have the same patterns every year when it comes to these matchups. They love putting the Cowboys on primetime a bunch every year. The Saints, while losing Brees is still going to be an appealing matchup to them and its a division opponent and for some reason the NFL loooooves the Bears on Primetime. Even with all the crappy QBs and teams they have had over the years they still get 4 or 5 primetime games a year. I also think that the Bills are their best home opponent and would be an awesome game but I don't see it. I could be wrong though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Bills at Tampa to open the season on TNF makes a lot of sense. SB champs vs. one of the AFC favorites, plus the Brady vs. Buffalo angle. If not that, then a home opener vs. a division opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I will guess the Jets. The league for whatever reason likes having these two play week 1. I am curious see in their history who the Bills have opened up most against. Would not surprise me if it was the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I want it on the road either in KC or NE. I think a nice win on the road will set us up nicely for the year. I hope we get Jax in week three because I still think week 1 they might surprise someone because there is not game tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
