Greg S Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I will make a prediction just for fun. If the Bills win the Super Bowl they will open the season against the Packers. Week 1 at home on primetime. Rodgers vs Allen. I am assuming Rodgers is staying with GB here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 There's no way that the NFL is determining specific weeks for matchups at this early juncture. Anyone who's watched features on the NFL schedule in past years knows that there's a huge amount of coordination that goes on with teams, venues, networks, etc, and thousands of permutations etc that get thrown into their computers. They're not done yet, and they're likely not done for another couple of months, so anything now is just conjecture. At the very least, there's not determining weekly schedules until after the Super Bowl is played 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) I think the OT (original tweeter) is confusing "the 17th game" with "Week 17". Lots of us did that last year with WFT, assuming we would be closing the season out against Washington, based on the way an article stated it. He probably got a press release from the NFL confirming "The Bills will play @ LA Rams for the 17th game" and assumed it was week 17. But it's only that the new "17th game" will be against the Rams, and away in LA. We dont know which week it will be.

FilthyBeast Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Considering the Bills/Rams could end up a projected SB match up this year (and/or next for that matter) I highly doubt the NFL would want that game played at the end of the season. Seems like midseason type of time frame would be more fitting on MNF or SNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 There's no way any part of the schedule is decided yet. They run tons of simulations through their algorithm after all the teams have made their specific schedule requests (lumping west coast games together, dates their stadium won't be available, etc.). They work on it right up until the schedule is released. 56 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Read the thread where Sal goes into why Hawkins is wrong.

Next year's 17 game schedule has the AFC teams with 8 home games and 9 road games. So if the over-seas game is a "road" game then that is good for the Bills. 8 home games, 8 on the road, and 1 neutral site game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work on it right up until the schedule is released. Read the thread where Sal goes into why Hawkins is wrong. i understand the intricate details of how schedule algorithms work. right now they know who teams home and road opponents are right now they are collecting scheduling conflicts such as MLB schedule where teams share stadiums or share the same lots. Some of these sre 1. Stadiums next to each other in seattle, KC, Baltimore, dallas. 2. stadiums that use same lots…Cincinnati. Pittsburgh. 3. events— houston has a Christmas shopping event a weekend between thanksgiving and mid December at facilities next to the stadium. Teams give their stadium for concerts, local and college football ( Florida-Georgia at jacksonville) or MLS teams share stadium ( Seattle). before the even run the algorithm …they set up national games schedule fir Thursday, Sunday, Monday, and certain games for 4:25. these are don first because it makes scheduling easier. If you look at historical national games scheduling there is a pattern… 1-6 divisional match ups from each division. divisional match up games within and between leagues positional matchups because of NY and LA shared stadiums…more games involving those teams will be put in Non Sunday spots. Buffalo at LA game is likely to not be on Sunday afternoon. If it’s on Sunday afternoon it fir es the chargers on road on FOX if not on bye or national TV. playoff and super bowl rematches. For example KC at TB next season. This is a certain national game next year likely on nbc. Buffalo at KC is a certain national game next year. Since all 4 division winners are left in AFC playoffs, the AFC championship rematch will be on national TV. TB-Rams play next year so it will be on as would a LA/TB vs GB rematch next year. a super bowl rematch would be on national TV such as BUF vs GB/Rams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Muki Hawkins is an idiot who doesn't even know the difference between "your" and "you're" and yet somehow is a professional reporter. It doesn't surprise me that he confuses "17th game" with week 17. He's even more stupid for not realizing that the 17th game, if it even worked the way he thinks, would actually be week 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know who the opponents are, just not the order of the games. It's not a mystery how the schedule works. It's a rotating schedule with a few of the games determined by divisional standings. The 17th game is a rotating game based on divisional standings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
