strive_for_five_guy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 If that’s the matchup the NFL twitter account is highlighting, would definitely imply that is the opener. Consistent with rumors as heard elsewhere at TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hopefully the Rams have a Super Bowl hangover week 1. I would like the Bills to play them early before they hit their stride. If this is the matchup it will embarrassing for the Rams to raise the banner when the crowd is 50-50 and maybe pro-Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 It is the most entertaining game the Rams play this year so it would make a ton of sense to have it open the season.. .especially when you can't schedule the Cowboys because they opened last year. The 49ers game may be good (close) but it doesn't have te Offensive firepower that the Bills-Rams game has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 We'll know soon enough, but I don't see this tweet as a schedule reveal, as said above it's only saying Bills play at Rams this year. I did hear on WGR this morning that ESPN will be announcing before 9 AM today what the "best MNF game of the season will be." Had to leave for work an hour ago, so if it's been announced, I missed it and was hoping someone will post it as soon as it's known. There are at least four games the Bills have that could qualify as being hyped as this if they are scheduled on MNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the 49ers - Rams playoff game last year. The place was a sea of red. It was embarrassing that the Rams were the road team in the own stadium for a playoff game. Bills Mafia would absolutely take over the stadium. It will be a sea of Bills blue when they play there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Now that it's known that Bills are hosting MNF Week 2, I think it's much less likely Rams will be Week 1. I also heard on WGR last week that the NFL scheduling person that was on stated that the Bills would not get the opener and Thanksgiving. At this point, I think Thanksgiving is more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Just took at look at the Rams home schedule Seahawks - without Russell Wilson. I doubt this is the week 1 matchup. 49ers - possible as its a rematch of last years playoff game. Cardinals - possible for the same reason Panthers - no Falcons - no Cowboys - possible, Cowboys always bring strong ratings. Raiders - possible, Raiders are a good team who will get there share of primetime games. Broncos - possible. Russell Wilson with a strong Broncos team. Bills - possible. Josh Allen and the Bills are really good and a fun team to watch now. You cant rule out Bills at Rams for week 1 but as you can see their are plenty of other options the league can choose from for the opening game of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys always have the inside track though they were the opener last year so maybe we will get a break If I had to guess it would be the Broncos, NFL likes the star QB in new situation storyline and Russ is formerly of the NFC West The Bills are probably second most likely after the Broncos imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Bills Rams is a sexy pick, so is DAL/ARZ/DEN/49ers and it saves the Bills Rams for later in the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 So we are going from week 1 Thursday night, to week 2 Monday night. I have a feeling the "I prefer Sunday at 1:00 games" crowd will not be happy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Unlikely Cowboys open the season in back to back years. Broncos makes sense for Wilson’s debut. Raiders are another interesting matchup with Adams. I’d rather see the Bills on Sunday for the opening weekend. Don’t crave the silly national spotlight. And it’d take away from opening weekend if the Bills didn’t play, or perhaps already lost. Edited May 9, 2022 by Airseven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I’ll just add that according to the Bills announcement for the MNF game against Tenn they had the following also: ”starting at 6:00pm May 12, the home opener will be announced and tickets will go on sale for just that game” too me this implies the week 1 game will be at home. So yes the TNF opener appears unlikely Edited May 9, 2022 by BillsFanThru-N-Thru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone got 3 straight prime time games last year to start the season. Please don’t make me look it up.

dma0034 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I would also say I find it hard to believe that they'll have the Bills be at home the first 2 weeks.... that would mean after that they'd have 6 home games and 9 away games and would probably have to play 4 out of 5 games Away at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
