Other than div. games, which match-ups are you most looking forward to?

[Rocky Landing]

And why?

 

Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Titans game. The Bills looked hungover during their last matchup, and I'd love to see some redemption. I'm actually thinking about making the trip to Nashville.

[TBBills]

All about beating Brady and Mahomes.

 

 

 

[LABILLBACKER]

1. Chiefs

2. Bucs

.....if you want a Lombardi you gotta go thru these 2. I think we'll carve up the afce again. Turkey day game will be fun to watch us do to the Saints what we did to Dallas.

[klos63]

Tampa and Thanksgiving against the Saints.

[RiotAct]

Steelers.  A return to normalcy in a year (plus) that was anything BUT normal.

[LeGOATski]

Chiefs and the rest are not even close.

 

They represent the next hump for the Bills to get over.

Yup, I would vote Chiefs and Bucs too.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Chiefs and Bucs are the match-ups that I'm looking forward to seeing, and It's always fun to see the Bills on Thanksgiving, so how about that Saints game as well!

[GunnerBill]

Football Team. I think that is one of the rising teams in the NFC and one of the best young defenses in the league.

nice talent on offense too.

Indy. A sneaky very hard game. Interested to see what Wentz does after reuniting with Reich. A very solid legit playoff team that the Bills play at home. It's also the start of a very difficult portion of the season. A win at home before hitting the Saints (on a very short week), Patriots and Bucs is likely to be needed.

For me it’s not one game.  The Chiefs is an easy answer.  The Titans is a second easy answer after last year given our injuries, and of course the Bucs is the most obvious answers.

 

given all that the Colts, is intriguing kind of like in the playoffs the Browns if we face them.  They are ascending and it would be nice t9 see we are ascending faster than those two.  This will be interesting.

Steelers. First time in a stadium in nearly 2 years and I absolutely despise their fans. A nice reality check for them in week 1. 

[Peace Frog]

When we lost to the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXVII, I couldn't wait until we played them in week 2 the following season to exact our revenge in their stadium (which we did, 13-10) and show the world that our previous loss to them was a fluke.  That is precisely how I feel about playing the Chefs this season.  We must defeat them.

[patzen]

I'm really looking forward to playing the football team and the Panthers. I think both those teams are gonna shock some people and be pretty strong so they'll be fun games imo. I also like interconference matchups because they happen more rarely so those are usually more exciting for me.

replace Haskins with Fitz, as that's what really happened and that's a significant improvement.

McLaurin is a top flight WR, Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries are solid. Add 3rd round WR draft pick Dyami Brown.

Gibson and McKissic at RB

Logan Thomas at TE.

 

There's some nice talent there.

Love me that Fitz.

I voted Steelers, mostly because they are the FIRST team we will play. Win the first one, then move on. One week at a time. 

 

GO BILLS!

I’m not going to say it. 

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

I voted for the bucs.  The brady history, and then the fact that they won the super bowl last year makes it a nice measuring stick game.

I wholeheartedly agree.  That’s where my mind is too.  Let’s get the first one in the bag.  The Steelers won’t be a pushover either.  To say they came out of the gate strong last year is an understatement and that defense is legit.  Week 1 is not when I’d have chosen to play them, but this is the kind of game the Bills need to be able to win if they want a championship.  It’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t happen, but knocking off a healthy Steelers team to start the season would solidify that the Bills are in the top tier of the league.

Home opener!

[Boxcar]

It might be week 5, but the Chiefs game, for me, is the one must win game on the schedule if one could qualify. A lot of talk that the Bills are right up there as a top team in the AFC. Hell, Florio had them #1 in his power rankings by the end of last season stating he couldn't ignore the obvious.

 

But you can't be a top team in the AFC and keep losing to the Chiefs in such embarrassing fashion. This game, if not a win, absolutely must be extremely competitive. Anything less isn't acceptable. I know there's a lot of hype around the Bucs, but let's be real...I've never seen one game change people's opinions on a team so quickly. They went from unlikely Superbowl contenders to #1 challenger overnight. Few expected them to beat the Packers or Saints. Hardly anyone expected them to beat the Chiefs. I wonder how people would view the Bucs if they had lost.

[ProcessYaDigg]

Chiefs and Bucs are the obvious choices here, as they are currently the top 2 teams to beat.  However, for this question, i have to pick the Steelers.  It's the first game of the season and I'm hoping that this game will set the tone for how we'll do throughout the season.  Start the season strong and then finish the season strong.

[YoloinOhio]

Looks more like Matt Milano 

 

 

[JDubya76]

Bucs. To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

It was especially frustrating because the Titans were dealing with a whole raft of Covid issues, and had missed a lot of practice. We should have beat the snot out of them. But, the Bills looked low-energy. At least, that's how I remember it. I think also they were a tough matchup for us last season. Hopefully that isn't the case this season.

[Patrick Duffy]

Chiefs, got to be able to knock them off. Will show if Bills have gotten better enough to stick with them.

[Jerome007]

I almost voted WFT as I read WTF ha ha. Crazy that these idiots still haven't got a proper name. By that vote, I meant ALL. Looking for all of them.

 

But yeah, nothing original. Chiefs, Bucs and indeed Steelers to start the season strong.

[machine gun kelly]

The Bucs in the 2nd win.  You know the one in February.  The game starts at 6:38 pm.  A lot of parties for that game.

Pittsburgh. Because I love beating the yinzers. Buncha yahoos

 

 

[Nextmanup]

Answer is CHIEFS by a mile.

 

We played them twice last year and were easily handled both times, including being totally outclassed in the AFC championship game.

 

That's our yardstick now.  Until we can beat them, we will win nothing.

The more I learn about Dan Snyder, the more I suspect there is intention to this. I'm surprised he didn't name them Washington Team Football.

I said Chiefs up-thread, but also wanted to throw in the Steelers game. Always looking forward to first game of the season. Will be electric in O.P!!!
