Bills in Germany next season?

The Bills were left out of the NFL's international marketing assignments. You'd assume Canada but we didn't even get that.

There is zero chance they would make a division game be played overseas. Way too much importance placed on division games and it wouldn’t be fair to the team giving up their “home” game. I would also guess there has never been a divisional game played out of country over the years for this very reason. So we won’t be playing the Pats in Germany. 

 

In 2015 the Jets beat the Dolphins 24-17 in London. So it is possible.

NFL Europe folded in '07.  They started with 10 teams,folded when it got down to 6.  Why bother?


Probably because of the same reason a dozen or so professional football leagues have folded in the United States.

Unless you are the NFL or CFB I don't see any leagues making it here and that includes the new USFL and XFL.

We can't lose a home game in a year when we will already have 9 road games.  I think that happened to one of the NFC teams last year (maybe Atlanta?) and would be a real competitive disadvantage for us

 

The Rams and Chargers have zero home games in Sofi so its possible.

Bills-Chiefs will be a huge hyped up marquee game that they will never take away from KC. It’ll be a Sunday night game  billed as a quarterback duel part 2. A German game would like be a mediocre matchup. I can’t ever recall a gave played in London that was a great matchup. It’s usually something like Jaguars vs Atlanta

The NFL keeps trying to make NFL Europe a thing on the cheap.  

 

IMO, the OG NFL Europe that was in operation from 1991-2007 would have been more financially successful if they kept all the teams in Germany.  The Germans enjoyed NFL Europe and watched the games and grew real fan bases.

Bills vs Chiefs and one of the Bills vs Pats games will get primetime. I would be shocked if they don't.

Agree- both will. Bills-Chiefs will be Sunday night. Bills-Pats will be a Monday or Thursday. Bills will have a minimum of 4 primetime games. Josh Allen has ascended to “must see TV” quarterback status.

I also think they get 4. Maybe they get flexed into 5. I think 5 is the max a team is allowed to have in primetime. Look at the schedule..

 

home - division plus the Browns, Steelers, Titans, Packers, Vikings.

road   - division plus Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, Lions, Bears, Rams

 

Lots of games to choose from. Home potential primetime games I could see Steelers, Titans, Packers (if Rodgers stays, Allen vs Rodgers is must see TV), and the Pats. On the road I could see potential primetime games against the Chiefs, Bengals, Ravens, Pats, and even the Rams for an interconference matchup.

Yep- the Bills have a tough schedule and many games that are quality matchups. I’d say Bengals, Chiefs, Pats, Rams and Packers all could be primetime. A flex 5th is very possible
