Gugny Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I want week one to be an easy win. I want no part of Brady/the Bucs to start the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwai San Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 2 hours ago, machine gun kelly said: Yeah Kwai, I thought you told me once Sarasota or Bradenton and that is better. Tampa is unique. It’s great 8 months a year so certainly not complaining. It just sucks for a few months. Then it’s heavenly here. I know since we play south teams this year AFC and NFC, you guys will love these game mid or later in the year, except the dome teams like Indy. Playing Jax, Miami, Tampa, and so on will be great as I’ve managed these areas for a long time. I hope for my Buffalo brethren who like to go to travel games you get more Jets, Pats, Pitt., early and more South teams if possible late. All of you will enjoy you’re trips more. It doesn’t matter as no one is asking my opinion nor should they regarding the schedule. I just love when the Buffalo Mafia shows up here in Tampa every 8 years. It’s so much fun as you guys invade Tampa like the pirates invasion of Gasparilla (Tampa reference if you don’t know what I mean). I always tell my buds - there is Endless Summer here......Kinda Summer, Summer, REALLY Summer and Sorta Summer. That REALLY Summer separates the men from the boys for sure. I have never been to Jax for a game.....Miami 3 times, (one time I melted!) and was REALLY looking forward to TB but not any longer if it is in September!! Don't wanna melt again in September. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a 'traditional' Sunday Week 1 opener. But that's just me. Against the Jets? Lol Edited May 10, 2021 by Buffalo03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the team that plays week 1 at Tampa. What you say is true, but the absence of Brees kills this idea. It will be Dallas. The television networks love them, and I just do not see the NFL starting the season off with an AFC Vs. NFC game. These games have little to no bearing on the tie breakers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be hosting the 2022 Thursday night opener anyway. The league would change the schedule rules and eliminate opening Thursday night games if that happens lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably will be Dallas for the reasons you mentioned. Another possibility could be the Giants. They made some nice moves in the offseason to build around Jones. They are a big market NYC team that also brings in high ratings with a strong national appeal. Plus they are one of the NFL's "favorite franchises". It probably will be Dallas but I could see the Saints, Bills, and even the Giants as a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The Cowboys would draw the biggest audience to kick off the season. The league doesn't want Brady to lose opening week, the Bills can beat them, the Cowboys won't. Our season usually starts with the Jets but this year I think we'll go to New England to start the season. If the league sends us to NE, it'll probably be Sun or Mon night.

corta765 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Lol for completely selfish reasons I need the Bills playing Sunday or Monday. My second child’s due date is opening night and the last thing I need is a distraction nor my child having to see Tom Brady as he enters the world 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'd love this game week 1. Also, the Bills are a better matchup. The Cowboys disappear some games, and it's Dak's first game back. Expect some rust, so I'd go with the team that made a deep playoff run (Bills) and who return its core, over a team who may or may not be totally ready week 1.

TheFunPolice Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I think it's going to be the Bills Cowboys are a huge draw whenever they play, so that game could be MNF or SNF later in the year. Bills are an exciting up and coming team, there's the history with Brady, and Bills/Bucs is a really interesting matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Bills are by far the Best team that plays in Tampa next year. Do they want a war in week 1 opening game? For the NFL having the Bucs slap around the Boys or Bears in the opener works fine. If that’s a Sunday or Monday night game somewhere in the middle of the season will it even be a better and bigger game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It will be Dallas. So many would tune in just to see the drama. Will they be competitive or not? Will Dak be his old self? I’m fine with Cowboys/Bucs opener. Any chance it is not TB? They didn’t give NE the opener a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the year they made an exception and had the Bears-Packers open the season because it was the 100 anniversary of the league. They wanted the NFL's oldest rivalry to open up the season. This year TB will definitely get the game at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Perhaps one reason why it won't be the Cowboys: In the past 15 straight openers, the defending Super Bowl champs have opened against a team that was .500 or better the previous year. Dallas was 6-10 in 2020." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
