corta765 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Since it is the offseason with not a lot happening I wanted to see peoples thought on what they want for some cool schedule stuff in 2022. Fill in your own on what your hoping for with these categories, here are mine: Opening Day: at Miami. I like opening week 1 on the road and give me a rookie head coach week 1 Home Opener: New England 1pm week 2. I doubt the NFL lets us go back to back division games to open, but after beating Miami lets wreck NE next at home Monday Night Football: Cleveland Browns I think that would be a fun game Thursday Night Football: at Cincy. This would be a really fun game and I can't expect all of our home games to be the national ones Sunday Night Football: Titans so we can get revenge at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Since we opened at home this past season I will guess a road opener this year. Season opener - at Jets. Our most common opening day opponent. Home opener - Vikings. Bills will wear their all whites (current) at home sparking outrage from Bills fans who feel they should always wear blue over white at home. Despite the fact that the Bills have been wearing white at home early in the year for years now. Fans will still be shocked they wore white at home. Also there will be a thread on this board sometime in August saying what uniform will the Bills wear for their home opener and some will guess all blues or all reds which will never happen. 4 primetime games. 2 at home. 2 on the road. at KC (SNF) at NE (MNF) TEN (MNF) GB (SNF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Week 1 - @ CIN Monday night Week 2 - Home opener Minnesota @ Rams will be a Sun 4 PM national game @ KC will be a Sun night game @ Detroit will be Thanksgiving H NE on a Monday night Week 18 @ Miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they might want to avoid the blowout factor because we should be double digit favorites, but I could see the NFL trying to push Josh as much as possible, like they have other QBs that have annoyed us being on primetime every week, while we 1:00pm, unless we play on the west coast.

sullim4 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The one sure thing in the schedule - @KC is going to be a standalone 4:25 CBS national game. CBS hasn't gotten this game in the regular season the last two years - 2020 going to FOX's Thursday package and 2021 being on NBC SNF. If I had to guess, this goes in the first or second week of November. This is the NFL's #1 game they have on the schedule next year and it's going to get top billing, which doesn't necessarily mean SNF. I think we open against the Rams on Thursday Night (NBC), the Packers home game is probably a non-standalone 4:25 on FOX in September, the Bengals game is a MNF game, and I bet we play one of the Dolphins or Jets on Thursday night. I'd also guess that one of the Steelers or Ravens is going to be a SNF or MNF game. I'd be really surprised if we play Detroit on Thanksgiving given we've played 2 out of 3 years and we aren't the Lions or Cowboys. But, the other option in that slot is Miami and I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL is gun shy about giving that franchise national attention on Thanksgiving. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I know the schedule doesn't come out until sometime in April but doesn't the league announce who plays overseas sooner.

The reason I don't think the Pats will be in primetime this season - we've faced them on MNF (2021, 2020, 2018), and the NFL Network Saturday Special (2019). 2017 was the last time we didn't face the Pats in a national telecast. There are so many good matchups for the Bills this year that I suspect the Pats will take a breather for primetime games this year. Of course, the NFL could disagree.

Do question though if they'd let a team play two years in a row on Thanksgiving day. Obviously Dallas and Detroit do it. Do think at least two of the three between the Baltimore, Tenn, and Green Bay games will be also be national games,, either night or 4:25 double header games.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I do like the prediction of playing the Patriots early in the season. Week one or two. Seems like it’s been quite a few years since we’ve played them in the first three games of the year. Might have to go all the way back to 2015 When we played them in week two I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Pats are the only team in the division who can probably challenge the Bills for the AFCE I bet both games are later in the year when the races start heating up.
