TheWeatherMan Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 So the old af QB who needs tons of rest, gets it. The NFL is all about the large market teams being front and center on the big stage. Get used to Rodgers drawing opportune roughing calls while Sauce continues to ride our receivers like a pony. 3 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yep. Been trending that way for a while. When the Bills sucked we used to get screwed on it every year. Has evened out a bit now we are good. I think it was one of the Marrone years we played 4 teams coming off the bye and then the week we came off our bye the opponent had been TNF and so had a mini bye themselves. We are middle of the pack now but it still sucks that the NFL doesn't do better on this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 4 team divisions is bad enough. The 17th game means teams don’t even have same amount of home games anymore. Add in all the non-sunday games creating rest imbalances and NFL has by far the least equitable scheduling. Not even close. That’s why the 1 seed getting a bye is so dumb. 8 teams per conference should make playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, they do play back to back road games (at Philly and KC) but not in consecutive weeks. It's broken up by the bye week...which is fairly late in the season and another big plus for us.

GoBills808 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 ok what's the correlation between rest/lack of rest and wins or losses or injuries otherwise it's just a weird scheduling fluctuation 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will maximize profit and ad revenue for marquee matchups at the expense of bottom feeders. Like we were for 17 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically through 10 weeks extra rest did increase win %. Interestingly from there on in the numbers suggested extra rest actually reduced winning percentage. That was of course an era of 2 seeds on each side getting playoff byes and was in that period when we had a run of wildcard teams who make deep playoff runs. The numbers I am sure have fluctuated somewhat and I can't find the article I read despite having googled for it. I think it was sports illustrated back when Peter King was there.

Charles Romes Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Bills have been getting tons of calls since Allen became a star in 2020. Some games it has been almost embarrassing. Bills also got byes before both the Bengals and Chiefs road game this year. Not to mention being delivered the 2 seed over Cincy last year. 2 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 At least Buffalo is dead even for net rest days (not plus or minus). And KC is closer to the bottom with -13. That pleases me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
