Never NEVER Give-up Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 For the Jaguars, this will be the second of two-straight games played in London. The League wanted them rested to provide them with an advantage over the Bills. I am disappointed this is an AFC clash that could have playoff-seeding implications; I was hoping for an NFC opponent; but at least it looks like all the international games will be AFC tilts.

A charter flight should take about 7.5 hours from Buffalo to London. There is the 5 hour time change, but I can't see that this is much different than the Seahawks coming to Buffalo for a Sunday game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleezoid Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Is this the official pre-game thread? Might be a bit early to be discussing game strategies and matchups. When the game is played, we'll all be like: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh geez…more conspiracy theories. Ridiculous. Besides, staying longer in London doesn’t mean the Jags are “more rested” — they’re still staying in a hotel away from home. It’s a non-issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills have to travel and deal with the time change, for a "home game". Instead of playing a team also dealing with that.. for the first time... that's now not the case. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a tough game. Respectfully, we couldn't beat them when they were hideous. Now they are good and getting better, winning as many playoffs games last year as we did, and they are getting a road game essentially turned into a home game in their "home away from home" all the while as they've had a week to settle in. If the Bills can't beat the Jags it might be because the Jags are a pretty good team, combined with the schedule working out well for them. Go Bills! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 some of you just look for things to complain about. The Bills won't be tired. They will be ready to play. Football is emotion and adrenaline. You really think close to kickoff a couple guys will be yawning and needing a nap? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Everything about this sucks. Bills football at what? 9am? It's like a week without football...and against Jacksonville, no less. Let the Brits come watch football in the States. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean we have an excuse, due to that, to go out and lose to a good (not great) team in Jax? No.. We should still win that game. That said, I just don't like being part of the experiment with Jax. First team playing two games overseas, staying overseas the entire time. How does that drive their mentality? The league will clearly be looking to see how good, bad or indifferent they play on the second game of two in a row over there. Ehh.. just not a fan of the scheduling hand we were dealt here. Still should be a W, but we know of exactly one game, and it's about as meh as it could possibly be for us.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I still have bad memories of the EJ Manuel Bills/Jags game at 9 am on the yahoo stream, which buffered like crazy. One of the worst viewing experiences of my life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even care at all about the schedule, or who/when we play anyone? Give us a 1 pm season opener in Miami on Week One. Give us the earliest bye week possible. Schedule KC, CIN, PHI, LAC, NYJ & MIA all in a row. What does it matter? Edited May 10, 2023 by SCBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion we're having isn't about us. We aren't playing the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
