transplantbillsfan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Been thinking Buffalo would get the Thursday Night Opener for awhile. Dallas is Dallas... so they're always in play. But for legitimate Football fans Bucs vs. Bills is a much more enticing game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 They usually do the champ vs one of the other contenders, don't they. Bucs-Bills makes sense and I'm down for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay gets to open at home on Thursday, Sept. 9, with the 2020 champs beginning 2021 with basically the exact same roster. My prediction: The foe will be either Buffalo or Dallas. Why do I say that? The NFL wants to get off to a very strong start after a shaky offseason, and they want a game that will generate buzz in the weeks before the season begins and will be must-see TV to start the season. To schedule the Saints or Bears or Giants here (all Bucs home foes this year) doesn’t seem smart because any of them could be a game that’s over by halftime. Not so Buffalo or Dallas. The Bills could go to Tampa and win the opener, and the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott leading an explosive offense, would be able to go toe-to-toe with the Arians/Brady offense. We’ll see, but those are the two sexiest home foes for the Bucs, and I think one of them will open the NFL’s 102nd season. Boy , I hope we don’t start away playing against Brady. Will be big night for the Bucs who are loaded on D and let’s face it, Mcd has never beaten a Brady lead team yet has he? Brady has had.Frazier’s number and our rookies on the D line will just be adjusting to the NFL so I doubt they have much impact early on. Also would be good to see if we can get a run game going and see if we can stop the run before facing the loaded SB champs. We prob won’t have our o line set either as it seems every year it takes time for McD to settle on the best 5. It feels so much better to win that opener; how great was it to start 4-0 last year? I just hope we get a little easier opener than either away at TB, KC, or even a revamped NE pats team, tho I would be more optimistic about facing the Pats than starting against a QB who has owned us for 20 years or a coach ( Reid) who out-coached McD badly twice the previous year. Good starts statistically matter in the NFL, and we never seem to get lots of breaks from the NFL so I hope we at least get the best shot we can at starting with a W! Also , the stadiums in Fl will almost certainly be filled adding to home field advantages returning as our governor has already lifted all restrictions / bans concerning businesses in Fl. And that includes a ban against things like vaccine passports etc. Would be nice if somehow we got lucky to start out at home despite last year and get our O back on track while doing it in a friendly environment ! Hey we are AFC East champs for once in a long time and I think that should be rewarded, esp rewarding the great fans we have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's prediction makes sense, but give me a Jets opener please. Facing a rookie QB making his 1st NFL start would be a great start to the season for us.

Buccs Cowboys problaby makes sense in the opener.....I'd love Bills Buccs as a football fan, but the TV execs probably really like Cowboys Buccs.

Cygnus99 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I can see the Bills losing in the opener against the Bucs but at the end of the regular season the Bills will be 13-4 . I say 5-1 against the division zips right through the playoffs and meet the Bucs in the Super bowl and this time we win the super bowl by beating the Bucs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I hope it is anyone but the Cowboys. That is the one possible match-up I wouldn't bother to tune in for. 🤢🤮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
