Bills 2023 opponents

Recommended Posts

Schedule looks good. Never know though what teams continue to be good, what teams fall off, or what teams elevate their play.

 

I understand why we play kc again…but can someone explain why they continue to get us at home?  I get the rotation, and playing certain seeded teams.  Not whining, just askin.

So basically matched up

AFC west

NFC east

and then randomly 3 playoff teams…

 

Not sure that passes the sniff test of fair and equitable but so much changes year to year I suppose example Rams and the “oh yeah AFC west is going to be super good and AFC East teams will be a few years away. “ Media can go fly a kite.  
 

Hey get it done NOW boys!

 

Go Bills!

Have to go to #1 KC & #3 Cincy again, plus go to #1 Philly. WTF? At least #5 Dallas has to come to us & the #4 Jags. Not going to be easy. Just wish they'd even it up so we aren't always away for the tough games (this is 3 years in a row)


Next year is when the East plays the West which is every three years and the rotation for home away is what it is.  The last two years have been based on matching up with your peer in the other divisions and you can play two in a row at the same place in those.  I agree with you but part of the reason the bills seem to always play in KC is because the two playoff games where KC earned it. 
 

2024 KC game would be in Buffalo.

There is nothing random about it.  Those three games are vs other division winners.  The formula is known ahead of time.  Nothing to sniff.

Right on.   Too early and reading it on the fly…I think Jags and Bucs actually being division winners threw me a bit too.

I predicted this in 2002.

Philly has been set for a few years, my BiLs do a Philly home tailgate every year and they’ve been saying that’s the game we will do in 2023 since they saw it coming up.

Not supposed to be fair and equitable. Division winners face division winners, the other teams play against the teams that finished in the same spot in their divisions. It’s been that way for years

Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs and one dolphins game will be primetime games probably.  The bengals game will be a National 4:25 game.

Why every year do we have to play the chiefs in KC? Am I wrong? When’s the last time we played them in Buffalo 

In 2020 when the afc west was in rotation.   This year they are in rotation again so we play them in KC.  The reason we played them in KC the last two years was based on where we finished in our division.

Yeah, for regular season you can go to an opponent three years in a row the way the scheduling works which is what is happening here.  THat is exacerbated by two playoff games in KC the last two years which were a result of KC having a better record.

and the next two seasons after that, as long as we place the same as the Chiefs in our respective conferences!

Yeah yeah someone already mentioned that.    Was looking at it too early and on the fly -literally airport- and also Jags and Bucs being division winners just didn’t register at that hour.   
 

If this is such predetermined news why does anyone post it haha

I guess because it is not completely determined until the end of the regular season which was yesterday.

All in all not too bad. 9 home games. Only one trip out west.  Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Bills Chargers in LA game 1 just like last year.  KC game will almost assuredly be in prime time and is not that long of a trip.  Lots of team with questionable QB situations.  Sure we get Mahomes, Burrow, and Herbert but after that I don't see any that area a worry. Philadelphia is more of a complete team that is better with Hurts but he is not the entire reason they have been good.    Dak is in the next tier but we get him at home.  

Wonder which game will be flexed to Detroit next year?

How much do you think the Cincinnati game will be another prime time game?

 

 
 

 

At KC and AT Cinci.  Can we get these guys at home sometime during the regular season??

As of right now that looks like a brutal schedule.

 

Also one game all season in a dome is a freaking joke. Hopefully the schedule makers do us a favor and front load our schedule with home games.

regarding the Miami road game, you just know the schedulers are combing through some advanced meterological models already to try and figure out which Sunday in September will be the hottest in SoFla.

any bets on playing on Thanksgiving again?

wont be cowboys game we know for sure.

 

If the league alternates the AFC team going between Detroit and Dallas on Thanksgiving, then the Cowboys will get the AFC opponent since the Bills played at Detroit. Only 2 AFC teams scheduled to play at Dallas next year. The Jets and the Pats.

Meanwhile Chiefs get Bills, Bengals and Eagles all at home:

 

Home: Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, Bills, Dolphins, Bears, Lions, Bengals, Eagles

Away: Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, Packers, Patriots, Jets, Vikings, Jaguars

 

Bills play 10 games vs playoff teams. Chiefs only 8.
