We knew we'd be playing the Bengals, Eagles, and Chiefs on the road this season back in 2002.

The floor is much lower for me. If things go poorly, injuries, poor play, tough schedule, etc...The floor for me is 8-9. 

 

I agree with you ceiling. 

 

as is 2-1 or 1-2

You are obviously a hopeless homer, blinded by your rose colored glasses. (Did I miss any?)

Wrong nice try.  Did you honk your nose when you wrote that?

I think he was jokingly saying that. Hence the "did I miss any?" part.

It was a fair comment.  Both are possibilities.  Right?

I was being sarcastic, as that seems to be the response from many around here if you dare to be positive about the Bills.

Not likely at all but of course it's possible.

[Success]

It's all about Cincy, KC & Philly.

 

The rest are games we should win.  Obviously, the "shoulds" don't always happen. But they are games where we're the better team, and should win.

Would you say those three teams are better than Buffalo?

I really like this schedule. The home primetime games should be really fun. Would ideally go 3-0 against the Giants, Bucs and Broncos. That Giants game should be really good. And the weather might be decent for all of them as well. 

 

Then the Bills get two nice weather games late in the year at LA Chargers and at Miami. 

 

Schedule gets considerably tougher starting week 9 @ the Bengals. Bills ideally need to start the year 6-2 or better. They have a short week to prepare for the Jets week 11 which could be a huge game depending on how the week 1 game goes. But at least the Bills are coming off a home game on the short week. Extra rest before both Bengals and Chiefs games. 

 

The 12/23 game at the Chargers says "Peacock". So it will only be available via streaming? Not broadcast on NBC?

[Drew21PA]

Only games I really see are

 

@NYJ 

it’s just unpredictable they play well against us one time a year it seems - and it seems that is always in NJ

 

the obvioulsy

@KC

@Cinci

@Phi

 

but here is also my take on the nfl this year

 

starting with our division 

Miami was figured out and made ZERO changes where it matters most.

 

despite what folks feel in here, they did NOT figure out our offense and their defense lost twice to us and gave up 500 yards to us at home.  
BUFFALO SWEEPS DOLPHINS

 

I think MIA still finishes 3-3 in division and is wild card again

 

jets?  I’m not buying their yearly hype - same with the NFC East.  Rodgers is reportly NOT EVEN ATTENDING WORKOUTS TILL WND OF SUMMER!!!  If I’m NY I’m ticked

 

eagles - benefited from a REALLY SOFT schedule not this year birds

 

Buffalo and Miami will rout them.

 

buffalo beats KC In KC again - but hey it won’t matter because well - it’s not the playoffs

 

veat them three in a row though but it’s just not the playoffs so it doesn’t mayter

 

as I opened with - I won’t be surprised if we get beat opening night.  Everyone will empty the wagon and say we are done.  Then we win the East again

0-3 and we suck.  Only 6 teams since 1980 have made the playoffs starting 0-3.

Newcam with that statement legitimately believes we aren't even a playoff team.

They might lose to the Jets at MetLife. Primetime game on the road, Rodgers first game as a Jets. Place will be going absolutely crazy, but I doubt they lose to the Raiders at home and the Commanders on the road. They should be either 3-0 or 2-1 after 3 weeks. They start 0-3 and the pitchforks and knives will be out for McDermott's head.

If we start 0-3 then yes, McDermott deserves to be on the hot seat.

I think they were talking about Bengals, Chiefs Eagles....but same point really.  Yes those are great teams.........you know who else is a great team?  The Buffalo Bills.  Those teams are circling that game as a tough matchup as well.

Exactly.  I think people still have the mindset that any tough team we face, we will lose and bank on beating the bad teams.  

This team is 46-18 since 2019!  

 

But if they are talking about 0-3 against those teams and not the first 3, my mistake.  But still, just immediately thinking 0-3, especially when we've beaten the Chiefs two years in a row in the regular season.  It's just being negative for the sake of being negative.

Preseason is set.

Right, probability wise, 0-3 and 3-0 while both possible are also less likely than the other two possibilities (1-2,2-1)

Welp, it's almost June. Never too early for some Bills fans to start hoping we lose out for the #1 overall draft pick. 0-17 here we come baby! 

[chongli]

There will be a Wild Card game on primetime exclusively on Peacock. So free trialers, pick your poison: Bills December game or Wild Card game.

You think we’ll lose to either the Raiders in our home opener or to the Commanders on the road?

 

Come on, bro. Even if someone is down on the team, that’s a stretch.

I misunderstood your question. I thought you were talking about the KC, Philly, and Cinci games. 

 

I think the Bills smash the Raiders and beat Wash too.

I could see the Bills be 1-2 against Chiefs/Bengals/Eagles

but I can also see Chiefs going 1-2 against Bills/Bengals/Eagles

Bengals going 1-2 against Bills/Chiefs/49ers

Eagles going 1-2 against Bills/Chiefs/49ers

 

Those are the toughest 3 games on each of their schedules, anything can happen against those good teams.

Yet 3 of those teams will get to play some of them at home except one.

Great point. That's what makes it much more difficult for the Bills. 

 

Philly at home with that defense and offense will be extremely difficult. Hard to pencil in a win for Buffalo. 

 

Cinci just demolished the Bills. The team had no answers on both sides of the ball. Plus, Bills might suffervsome PTSD going back to Cinci. Hard to pencil in win for the Bills.

 

KC in Arrowhead is a tough ask. Mahomes is just a winner. The best QB in the game. Reid is an offensive guru. Bills can't stop Kelce. However, the Bills have some regular season success in Arrowhead. I could see the Bills squeezing out a win. (Come playoff time it's a different story).

I still think Dorsey is the key to a very successful season. If he struggles again getting this offensive unit to find an identity,  both he and McDermott will be gone. Sean has blown some choice opportunities.

That’s really odd to see multiple 4:25 starts for home games 

 

It's been a long time since the Bills played a 4:25 game at home. They have a "sexy" schedule this year for the networks. Not every game can be TNF, SNF, MNF. So, CBS and FOX want some of those Sunday afternoon Bills games as the national game broadcast to the entire country. Otherwise, it makes no sense for an EC team to play 4:00 or 4:25 home games.

 I wonder if Pegula cleans house completely or Beane gets a chance to hire the next HC assuming your scenario plays out.

I would have fired him after KC 13 seconds and def after cincy 

 

BUT will Terry? No way. Even if they went 4-12 this year they wouldn’t fire mcdermott
