If they were really smart they would make it last game of season because more likely would be cold snow game and they could talk about two cold weather teams battling it out. 

Case Keenum vs Jordan Love hardly has the same draw. 1st game of December makes more sense

T-minus 7 days and counting!  I wonder what other early releases we’ll see over the next week.  I do believe they’ll announce the opener before the 12th.

Mike North hinted that they may drop the entire week 1 matchups early along with the holiday games also.

That 13 seconds sucked for us. Won’t deny that. But I’ve never seen a more intense, electrifying game in my life. And our QB was the reason for it.

You are 100% correct that it was a great game for someone who isn't a Bills fan but as a Bills fan 13 seconds ruined it. Josh played great, the team overall played great. But I will never watch one play from that game again because of 13 seconds. Don't even want to see replays of the Bills TD's because of 13 seconds.

That your opinion. Like I said. It sucked. But that doesn’t take away from The greatness of that game. I have watched plays and highlights. Can’t bring myself to watch the entire game yet. But I have it recorded and in time I will watch it again. Our guy is a beast. It was possibly the best your ever going to see out of a Bills QB ever. I hope not. I hope he gets better on that. But the fact is it was incredible to watch. The lax Defense and game plan ruined it all with 13 seconds. Not the play of our QB.

With all due respect, Greg, that's no way to go through life.  I've watched the 2nd half of that game several times just for the sheer magnificence of it.  When they get to 13 seconds I turn off the video and think about how nice it is to have a superstar QB.

If I am going to watch a replay from last season then I will watch the WC game against the Pats. I can never get tired of watching that game and I can watch it for the full 60. I can't watch a replay of a heartbreaking loss.

NFLN is already promoting the schedule release with scenes of Josh and Aaron Donald.  I think it's a done deal the Rams will be hosting the Bills opening night Thursday.

That's the right attitude. I do the same thing. Josh brings us all the way back. Gabe was ridiculous. As Levi said in his recent interview everyone was just so excited by taking the lead. They just forgot to focus and so did the coaches from ST to DC to HC.  Just turn it off before the kickoff.  It's not worth the stress.

I did see an article that all teams home openers will be announced at 6pm on the 12th, with the rest of the schedule at 8pm. 

[Greg S]

Maybe someone should start a thread "Predict The Opener". Here is my pick I think the Bills open on the road this year. They opened at home last year and this year we also get the extra road game. I know many will predict BUF at LA but not me. Week one I will guess BUF at NE on SNF.

Lol, so was our defense for the wrong reason

[Alphadawg7]

NFLs Instagram released some matchup ideas for the opening game today and asking what the people want to see.  Bills vs Chiefs and Bills vs Rams were first 2 choices.  However, I’m pretty sure the opening game is always the reigning SB champs though, so some of these don’t even seem eligible for the Thursday night game. There were a few other choices too like Rams playing either Raiders, Niners, or Chiefs at home and also the Bucs vs Saints.

 

So I wonder if responses to this would have any sway on a change or not (I bet Bills @ Chiefs might be too choice).  Like would they maybe make a last minute switch based on comments to this post for the Bills to instead play at KC and do it as a prime time game Sunday or Monday week 1 instead and then have like the Niners go to LA Thursday night?

 

One caveat here that is interesting though, is there was an unrelated leak a couple times suggesting the opening game at LA on Thursday was down to Bills or Cowboys.  And in the NFLs post today the Cowboys were not included.  Does that suggest it’s Bills now for sure and this post is nothing more than a marketing teaser to get people excited about the schedule release?  
 

Seems hard to imagine they would make any big schedule changes this close to the release, but you never know.

If that’s what you want to focus on. I’d rather put my attention to the fact that we have one of the best QBs in the game right now.

That’s a helluva challenge-especially given his performance just one week earlier. 5 TD passes, 4 incompletes, 7 straight TD Drives. Zero punts.

Personally, I say the best. Not just the best QB but the best player. But I was being reasonable I thought with my argument. 
 

but yes, it is the only thing that matters. I’ve lived my whole adult life hoping for a really good Bills team. A team that we all love. A team that is not just good on the field but off it. A team that awes everyone. A team that fans of other teams wish they had what we have. We finally have it. Josh is not just the leader of it, he’s the main reason for it. I’ve never been so excited about a team in my entire life. Can’t wait for every Sunday.

I have watched the entire game again twice. I suppose it come down to do you like the Bills because you like football or do you like football because you like the Bills? 

 

I love the game. I love the Bills. That is the best game of football I have ever seen. I would have preferred a different outcome but it doesn't ruin the game for me. That is the best two competing QBs have ever played in a playoff game. 

[Warriorspikes51]

All playoff teams from last year should have a TNF Amazon Prime game.

 

if the Bills open at LA and host GB on Thanksgiving

 

3 Thursday Night Games? Wild

 

Primetime Games I’ll predict:

 

@Rams -  Opener 

@Bengals - MNF 

vs Dolphins - TNF Amazon

vs Browns - MNF 

vs Packers  - Thanksgiving Night

@Chiefs - Christmas Night SNF

 

[BillsFanThru-N-Thru]

I think the NFL twitter account is showing that the Bills and Rams will be the opener with if NFL schedule preview ...

(14) NFL Schedule leaks on Twitter: "Rumor: Patriots @ Jets Week 1 SNF" / Twitter

 

Another rumor floating out there is this one. The game would be on 9/11 so I could see the league giving one of the NYC area teams the spotlight. The Pats did win 10 games last year and made the playoffs. You know they will be on primetime a few times this year. The Jets have received a lot of positive press for their moves this offseason. On paper they should be better. I do think they they will get a primetime game or two but I have a hard time believing it will be on SNF in week 1.

I have not been able to rewatch it yet. I thought I would be able to around June/July but I’m starting to think I never will be able to do it unless the Bills win a SB at some point.

Was watching Josh Allen season highlights. Was so pumped coming out of the *pats game. Getting even more excited seeing Josh throw his third TD to Gabe then it hit me what was coming and God did it hurt.

Sunday being 9/11 having a NY team home makes some sense.

 

i don’t see it needing to be in prime time because this isn’t a special anniversary date like if this was the 20 th anniversary.

 

it makes more sense to do this on 9/11/31 falls on a Thursday night.

Schedule release week update:   So since the week is upon us, I reached out to both the people who provided the rumor/tip to me originally to see if anything new had passed their ears or eyes.  And neither of them have heard nothing new up to this point.  

 

My friend at the TV Network in Detroit said it has not come up again since they were told by their boss that he was told the Bills are going to Detroit for the thanksgiving game.  

 

My friend tied into the higher ups at SoFi said they have not spoken to them since they told them about Rams week 1 opponent at home being the Bills, so nothing new to report there either.  

 

Once again, I fully trust my 2 friends with 100% confidence that they were told these 2 things, but it again does NOT mean the information that was shared with them was correct either and this still remains just a rumor and tip at this point.  So will be interesting to see how it plays out come Thursday.

I have a pretty good source on the latter,  and I’ve been told there was a change week 1. The Bills aren’t playing the Rams to open as originally envisioned. The Rams will likely play the Broncos. Nothing on our week 1 opponent.

Certainly possible there could be changes.  That VP of broadcasting for the NFL network during that 30 min interview said as much.  Quite interesting interview actually, and believe there is a link to it earlier in this thread.  

Said the new tech allows their systems to run new schedules nightly and see how they like them.  And that in previous years schedule changes were easier to do towards the later parts of the season, but now more recently with the advancement in technology can make changes at any week just as easily.  Said changes could continue to happen all the way up to just before the schedule announcement.  
 

The one one caveat though was that he talked about the increased difficulty this year with so many live events coming back after COVID, so it’s not as easy this particular year to move things around freely as these stadiums, especially the expensive newer ones built with a lot of public funds, are booking a ton of events to offset lost revenue as much as possible when events weren’t happening and also during COVID where ticket sales were lost.

Was doing the same thing and it certainly does.

 

The only consolation if you want to call it that is that the game will live on historically because it was a great game and not because the chiefs held on to move on to win a super bowl, otherwise this moment would have been on repeat on NFL Network for the next 20 years in every conceivable greatest moment list. Chiefs fans even renamed their forum header from "The Lounge" to "13 seconds", but subsequently changed it back after they lost to the bengals.

Since the Official NFL Twitter has only teased 2 games and both involve the Bills, those games are for sure primetime. KC game on Halloween Night or Christmas Night makes sense
