Gregg Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 1 minute ago, Bills fan since 87 said: I want the Patriots at 1pm to open the season. Likely a rookie QB starting, in Buffalo. I think that lines up for an easy win and starts things off right. We have plenty of BIG games and will have plenty of primetime games. But let that first one be a 1pm Sunday kick vs New England This is what I am hoping for as well. NE at home is a great chance to start the season 1-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0neguy Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 The only scheduling I care about is no game in Miami until late November or December. The league needs to allow visiting teams to use sunshades and cooling devices regardless of what the home team does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty98 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 5 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: And that happened because he was in London? The Bills went on to have a very good season, including finally getting the Chiefs at home in the playoffs, a full three months after returning from the UK. They just didn’t finish…again. Still losing your best defensive player on a weird rest week with the worst travel schedule possible because the league used your game as an experiment based on the advantages of travel to London on a short week, will derail part of your season anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I’ve been one for SIXTY years. Milano suffering from a broken leg had nothing to do with going to London. Yes, it happened there, but not because he jumped out of double decker bus while sightseeing at Windsor Castle. Did his injury hurt the Bills….i guess so, but they still ended up right where they wanted be, playing the Chiefs in Buffalo with the ball in theirs hands, deep in Chiefs territory and the game on the line. And where would Milano have been? Watching from the sideline while the Bills offense failed to convert a first down, and then missed a field goal. It ultimately changed nothing. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say that, who's not to say he doesn't make a play against them were our 4th and 5th string linebacker didn't? Are you implying that Milano would have resulted in the same outcome on defense that Klein had us? It changes the amount of things that we can do defensively vs with Klein who was essentially signed off the street and Dorian Williams/Dodson. Having Milano easily could have resulted in a different outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak injuries happen all over every year whether overseas or not. There is a more compelling argument of against the turf in DET/NOLA and those injuries then what happened to Milano. And the truth was that Chiefs game Buffalo had to basically be perfect and they got an A-/B+. Happens sh*tty luck 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The never ending list of excuses this fan base can cling to is nothing short of breathtaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 7 hours ago, corta765 said: My fandom started because of the 1990 Bills team. When I would go to my grandparents he had the 1990 Bills Yearbook, watched that thing 24/7. He also had on tape a replay of the comeback game. Everything built from there. I remember back in the non electronic ticket days going downtown to a ticket office and my dad grabbing tickets for a game mid 90s. My first playoff game I ever got to go to was the 2023 game vs Miami. I legit cried a little during kickoff just thinking about the family connection and the fact I finally got to see a game in person. It was fun haha I must've watched that and the 91 Bills yearbook hundreds of times as a kid, they were phenomenally well done! They had a major impact on me becoming the Bills diehard I am today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 36 minutes ago, HOUSE said: I predict a lot of Sunday games right after church They will get 4 or 5 primetime games. What I can do without is the 4:05/4:25 start. Unless the Bills are on the WC, they should play at 1:00 being an EC team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime time Buf @ Det Buf @ NYJ Buf @ Hou Buf vs KC Buf vs SF Will the Bills have to give away another home game vs Jax in London again ? Oh, man … NO Miami in September, please.

The NFL finally wised up after seeing like 4 of our players basically collapse of heat stroke in that 2022 “Dorsey Smash” game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
