wjag Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hmm.. Might have to take a flyer on this. Early September night game means decent temperatures too. I guess I would have preferred it to be @Dolphins to reduce the heat element of that game. But the Swamplands are an easy 3 hour drive for me.

You miss the days of schedules are 1 PM each week for they were irrelevant except as spoilers? Even with 6-10 to 9-7 records we had then Bills would still have games not at 1 PM under new "Who cares if attending fans inconvenienced model".

Matchup is great, on road vs tough divisional opponent - schedule is hard overall, so why not start this way. Don't like MNF, it's 2.30 AM for me and you get to play after everybody else. But whatever I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I hope the Bills are firing the first salvo at what will be the demise of Aaron Rodgers. The first time he doesn't deliver, the NYC media will eat him alive. I don't think he has the personality or thick enough skin to handle that environment and if things go south fast and he and the Jest don't live up to the hyperbole, it will be fun to watch. GO BILLS!!! 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) I like it. Bills should have a good idea of what the Jets defense looks like given they haven't changed much (aside from adding a couple pieces). First Rodgers game with his new team. No one will have any idea what to really expect from a McDermott led defense. And just like Rodgers is going to want to make a statement.... you know McD, first game as HC/DC, will be looking to make a statement also.

Bulldog Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I love that we are opening up against the Jets - tough divisional test against a pre-season media hyped opponent. Don't like it being on Monday night, though. I just hate having to wait that extra day to see the Bills opener. Can't wait to hear what Jimmy Spagnola has to say about this ... lol ..

Gregg Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I actually like playing the Jets on the road in week 1. It might take Rodgers some time to gell with his new teammates. If the Bills get a win here, then it will put pressure on the Jets to win at Buffalo. It will also give the Bills a great chance for a series sweep. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I actually like it. For decades now the Jets have been our most boring opponent.

If we didn't get ravaged by injury, I think that team we were on opening night, was pretty close to who we could have been all year.. and we saw the Rams were frauds after their Super Bowl run.

We are the better team, and we get more primetime games. that IS NOT How it works. And now you are changing your position. First it is If the Bills play the Jets in NJ in PT then the Jets at Bills MUST be PT, sorry not how it works. Now you are saying better teams get more PT, again NOT how it works. How it works: The NFL decides what games are on PT based on maximizing revenue. Better teams plays into that but it is just one factor. A better team playing a lesser team on the road is better for the NFL because the lesser team has a better chance for the upset or making it a close game, they want to keep eyes on the TV.

I agree with you on the Dolphins but not because of the losing decade of the 70's. What made the Dolphins the Bills biggest rival was the Kelly-Marino years and all of the playoff battles these teams have played. NE was just like the NYJ a divisional rival for sure but there was no real rivalry. The Pats kicking the crap out of the Bills during the Brady years wasn't a rivalry. I would bet during that time the Pats thought of the Colts (Peyton), Ravens (Lewis), Steelers (Ben) and Broncos (Peyton) as bigger rivals then anyone from the division. The Brady Pats looked at the Bills, Dolphins, Jets as Moe, Larry, Curly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that those were the games you really wanted to see, even if you knew we were big underdogs. I can’t recall an era where anyone felt that way about the Jets. Unfortunately the Rodgers era is going to be short lived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO...actually, it IS past my bedtime, as I have to wake up at 5:30a every morning, but I'll take a late afternoon nap and load up on the caffeine to stay awake til 11:30 p, same thing I did last year about 4-5 times! I also agree that it *should* be a great opener. This nonsense about Rogers and his receivers not being in sync is just that...nonsense. I have no doubt that the Jets receivers will have no problem catching balls that are "right on the money." Bills D needs to be TOTALLY different than they showed at the end of last year, or else AR will put up 35+ points on them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaldimandBills Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'm good with playing the Jets. Disgruntled we are not playing Sunday opening week two years in a row. Playing the Jets week one has some benefits for the Bills. For starters Rodgers has typically not been fast out of the gate. I think this helps our offense out as well. I do believe the Jets more than anyone exposed the simplicity of our passing game, Josh Allen's reckless scrambling, our pathetic guard play, and inability to do anything with the run or short pass game. The entire offseason has been about changing the entire offense to work against what the Jets do well defensively and what other teams would mimic to slow us down.

Never NEVER Give-up Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 What I like & what I don't: Like the national stage for any game Don't like waiting until the last day of opening weekend to see my team after starving since January Like initial match-ups with divisional rivals to be on the road - so the 2nd game is at home Don't like being the sacrificial lamb -- home opener opponent to anyone, especially a divisional opponent (though it happens every year - I'd rather play St. Mary's - LOL) Will we get a divisional opponent at home in week two (our own sacrificial lamb)??? (probably not) Relish the opportunity to jump out and grab a game lead on the divisional race - hoping the Bills under McDermott are a fast-starting team! (See Rams game last year vs a slow starter against the Steelers the year before). Looking forward to all of it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 In the Bills 63-year history I think they have opened against the Jets more than any other team. For some reason the league likes to have these two teams meet in week 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
