It should always be Miami here in Sep/Oct, and at Miami in Nov/Dec. How come then the KC already in week 11 is done with their nemesis LAC?

wagon127 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The NFL has had the schedule rotation going for 20 years. So, only 3 away games had potential to give Buffalo a break from the cold weather. LA, Miami and Detroit. I think Bills fans have typically prefered to have Miami come here in December. My only criticism of the schedule, was I feel September games in florida, should be 4:00 start times. That would have helped a little. The bills have no more then 2 home games each month, I think thats a fairly balanced schedule.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The schedule opponent wise is virtually preset years in advance minus the conference switch over and AFC divisional common seed matchups. In regards to how the schedule lines up and when we play teams it rotates pretty regularly for balance, but every team has certain preferences. The NFL itself makes sure that everyone plays in division the last 2 weeks of the year minus a game or two here as it helps TV ratings when there is division races. Buffalo happens to play in division with NY and NE who both are northeastern teams idk what to tell you there. Miami likes division and conference teams early for the same reason we prefer them late. Now that BUF is good I would expect NE and in the future MIA to have both games later in season as its good TV ratings for the league and like the upcoming Pats/Phins games have big time division emphasis.

BillsFanSD Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The schedule's fine. We were given a front-loaded schedule where we could play our toughest opponents while everyone was healthy. Didn't work out that way because we got hit by the injury bug early, but that's just unlucky. Also, it's nice that our last three divisional games are all at home -- they're going to matter more than we thought they might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Bass would be unstoppable kicking indoors. I agree. It's utter stupidity on the part of the NFL not to take weather into consideration when scheduling the games. Bad for the fans, bad for the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I like it. We had an early bye which we didn't really take advantage of which isn't anyone's fault but out now. Now ¾ in almost and we get an extra 3 day mini bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Allen had his best day as a pro on a 5 degree day in Buffalo against the Pats. Don't think weather is a big deal for our boy. I do have an issue with our first 3 division games all on the road this year. That's total BS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should always be Miami here in Sep/Oct, and at Miami in Nov/Dec. NFL is handing each team their distinct home field advantages to drive the rivalry. It's anti-climactic, perhaps a lost opportunity, for Miami to play in the Buffalo sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Bass would be unstoppable kicking indoors. So what solution are you proposing? That the Bills play all their home games in Sep/Oct, and all the road ones in Nov/Dec?? For years people complained about this team getting screwed by the schedule makers (i.e. no prime time games and playing multiple teams coming off a bye) but now that those issues have been resolved it's crying about playing division teams at home late in the year when they are supposed to have a marked advantage? Really perplexed by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The schedule is ridiculous! It feels like we're playing an NFL team each and every week. Ridiculous, I tell you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of fans think we have a home field advantage with the snow and cold but i’m not so sure. We are the not the 70’s Steelers. We are a passing offense that relies on crisp routes and clean fields. Agree. Late season games in Buffalo is not always a home field advantage based on our style of football. We are not a great rushing team and rely on big air play style, which is hard in bad weather. It's why I am not obsessed with home field in playoffs. It's great for Buffalo fans, and certainly is if the weather isnt terrible, but doesn't play to strength of our team if there is severe weather.
