Oh, my mistake. Is that really worth pointing out? I didn’t know. I found out when I saw the official schedule release. 

I think it is worth pointing out that everything about the schedule is predetermined based on record and rotation, so we know opponents and home vs away as soon as the season ends. The only thing we don't know is the order of the games until schedule release day.

And to that point, there are only 3-4 games we even have to wait for season end to know about.

 

We can tell opponents and home/away for the next 4, 8, etc years right now based on the Divisional rotation.

 

The only games we need to wait on are the few that deal with those opponents who placed the same in their Division. (1st place team plays other 1st place teams, 2nd place team plays other 2nd place teams, etc)

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

a BANGER right off the top. Night Primetime NFL football home opener against the Ravens.

 

I expect a slugfest and major Brawls in the trenches. I will be paying close attention to the DL specifically

 

I do like the home field in the games you referenced. Advantage BUFFALO. It's a  LOCK the fans will be LIT

 

GO BILLS

Not complaining, but a couple negatives that I don’t see anyone bringing up thus far: we play @Atlanta and @NE following THEIR bye weeks. 
 

We also play @Miami and Cincy (home) when they will be on 10 days rest (because they will be coming off Thursday night games against Baltimore in both cases).

True. But the Bills have had very favorable schedules the past couple of years with rest advantages, so we are probably due for some of those disadvantages.

We're getting a bunch of running teams while the Team still have Linebackers (hopefully) off IR.

 

Also, Miami fans are already complaining that they don't get to play Buffalo in the heat.

Losers. this sentiment proves it. **** that team.

Do you guys think the Ravens or Eagles tickets will be more expensive?

 

Ravens…but only because the Iggles game isn’t the LAST game at Rich.  If it was, those would be ungodly expensive.

 

(although, of course, we’re all hoping for two more at Rich in the playoffs)

Agree...they will attempt to pound Henry early and we'll get to see our new DL rotation. Home field advantage will factor in.  Bills 1-0.

Favorable schedule. I like that we have a couple fewer prime time games than the last couple of years. Toughest games at home and spread out across the schedule. No more than two games away at a time. Second fewest travel miles of all teams. Outside of opening day in primetime vs. Baltimore (wow, should be a great---loud---game), our early schedule seems pretty soft which should allow our defense time to gel and to get off on the right side record-wise. They kind of gave us a break with Philly too. Looked to be one of our tougher games, but 2nd last game of the year, both teams could be resting players at that point or at least their playoff berths should be set (may still be fighting for seeding). Don't love the early BYE, but then, we have gotten younger and it will give them a chance to assess and retool the defense if needed. No Miami in the heat. Last year in Rich/Ralph Wilson/The Ralph/New Era/Highmark Stadium, with a favorable schedule...would be nice to open our new stadium as champs next year. 🤞👍

Fffff Miami fans.

I know I’m in the minority here, but I wish there were more primetime games and less early games. Less as in no 1pm games. That’d be my only “gripe”. I just personally have always viewed the 1pm games as the “undercard”.  But I get it, they gotta spread Josh around because 17 isn’t just the main event, he’s the whole f’n show.

I like the schedule overall.

 

IF I could change anything it would be having the bye week a couple of weeks later.

The home crowd sure has some great games to watch this season!

You want to play the Bengals early and the Ravens late. We got it backwards.

Pretty favorable schedule overall; the only bummer I see is more travel later in the season, after the relatively early bye week is long gone. But no complaints!

You guaranteed it was the least in NFL history and it isn't even the least this season?

Yep, jumped the gun on that one, but I corrected myself so not sure why you feel the need to point that out.  
 

Even though Buffalo is not centrally located like the Bengals, they have the 2nd least amount of miles traveled in the league this year.  I’m still willing to bet that this is the least amount of miles traveled in a season by Buffalo.

I'm just glad the NFL scheduled our game vs Chiefs after all our suspension should be completed. Yes, I'm a homer and don't care about anyone else but my team.
