Since before the 2019 season began I always find myself looking at the schedule and convincing myself that the Bills can go undefeated.

 

Same this year.

 

As we all know the Strength of Schedule is often misleading as it's based on last year's W-L records and doesn't take into account ascending teams but... it still looks like a pretty easy schedule to me.

 

 

This seems to be in the Bills favor by far from the schedules they've been getting in the last 10 yrs or so.

The crazy thing is that they only unreasonable thing there is the road win at CIN. So 11-6 is possible for the Pats. That assumes that Maye is the real deal and that all of their FA signing have career years (unlikely, but possible).

So bummed. I will be in Atlanta the week of October 19th. Damn.


Otherwise, pretty cool. Wish the bye was later, but it is what it is.

I find it really difficult to predict what's reasonable for the Pats. The AFCE has recently been rife with "offseason ascensions" that fell short of their optimistic projections, and sure, the Pats are broadly seen as this year's contender. Could be the case. But there is too much projection in that narrative to have much confidence in it to date. (I'm privately impressed with their moves since the season ended. Not convinced their OL is up to par, however.)

Reply section so confused as to why Bills/Jets Week 18 is on here 😂

 

 

 

Does this suggest the Bills home opener will be "well attended" by Ravens fans? Sucks each time those North division teams' (both NFC and AFC) fans establish a visible and audible presence in Orchard Park. On one hand, I cannot blame any season ticket holder who is able to sell 2 single game tickets for over $1k. Goes a long way towards paying for the rest of the games. Especially now that we're paying PSLs to a billionaire. 

 

However, I will always resent any Bills season ticket holder who resells to visiting team fans, even though I empathize. All the North division team fans have traveled well to WNY in recent years. Eff that noise.

Vegas projections are more in vogue now when looking at schedule.  Bills have the 5th easiest schedule based on projected over/under win totals.  It obviously could be misleading but it takes the off-season into account.

Wow.  I didn't know Justin Fields was that big of a draw.

Another thing I thought about…playing Cinci late in the season means more time for the “new” secondary to gel.  If the Bills’ revamped defense is going to be what we hope, by that point in the season they should be humming.

I actually see this and think if Vrabel is a good coach it is not far off, it looks like the Pats* play every dumpster fire team in the league.

I really don’t see how any Bills fan can seriously complain about this (but I know they will).  4 of 5 at home to start.  No inferno game at Miami.  We get KC on their short week (MNF).

 

Really the only negative is two short week TNF games, but every team has at least one of those.

It's a good schedule. My hope was to face Cincy early rather than late, but oh well. And it would be nice to have a later bye week.

I don't think they'll beat Cincy or Miami. I don't think they have a big leg up on many of those other teams. That is the best possible scenario for them, but they will lose more games than that for sure.

Having been at the divisional playoff vs. Baltimore in January, I can assure you there was no issue with “too many Ravens fans” in the stadium.

They have a good (easy) schedule but predicting anything more than an 8-9 season is really going out on a limb.

 

They’ll still be underdogs in most of their games.

The hardest games (Bal, KC, Phl) are all in Buffalo. Nice!

We've known that for a long time.
