Buffalo - 2nd hardest schedule per CBSsportsline

New England has the hardest. Sorry, it is from CNNSI, Andrew Perloff

Teams turn around quickly in today’s NFL, so it’s hard to predict how schedules will ultimately play out. But here are the five teams I think face the toughest roads in 2007:

1. New England: Except for home games against Cleveland and Washington, there are no out-of-division softies for the Pats. New England also faced a very tough schedule in 2005 and finished 10-6. With a restocked lineup, the Pats will probably wrap up the AFC East easily. But it will be a challenge to secure homefield advantage in the playoffs.

2. Buffalo: The Bills face a similar schedule to the Patriots and may get off to a rough start this year. They start at home against Denver, then go to Pittsburgh and New England.

3. Jacksonville: In the middle of the season, the Jags face a three-game road trip, which is sandwiched between home games against Indy and San Diego. Yikes.

4. Pittsburgh: The Steelers, who compete in what I feel will be the toughest division in '07, play three of their last four on the road, including trips to New England and Baltimore.

5. Indianapolis: The defending champs will have a target on their backs. They face every team they beat in the AFC playoffs last season (Kansas City, Baltimore and New England) as well as San Diego and New Orleans.

I saw an article that had the Bills and Raiders with the toughest (equally) followed by NE.

He'll be gone long before we draft next year.

but we already knew this before the schedule was released because we knew who the opponents are.

2. They start at home against Denver, then go to Pittsburgh and New England.

.

Our biggest weakness from last year the run D will be tested in the first game by a team that has been known to run the ball effectively through the years,

Parker is proven as well and even though Maroney is yet to be a proven back in the NFL he had success against us last year and if there's any coach that can exploit out weakness BB is the guy.

It's all on our coaches. We'll see if they can play chess now that they have most of their annointed players on the team.

This should come as no surprise to Bills fans - unless we change divisions, the schedule will always be grueling given the perenial strength of the AFC Beast.

Re: Buffalo - 2nd hardest schedule per CBSsportsline

The Jets' schedule is virtually identical to ours in terms of opponents' win/loss record, except that we play each other and New York's win-loss record is a little better than ours. All AFC East teams face an identical non-division schedule except for Our AFC West and South opponents (one game from each division). As AFC East winner, New England faces the AFC South and West winners. As AFC East cellar dweller, Miami plays the AFC South and West cellar dwellers, while the Jets and Buffalo play the middle of thepack teams from those divisions. As it happened the second and third place teams in each of those divisions tied with each other. with the same record.

To be specific: New England plays Indianapolis and San Diego. Miami plays Oakland and Houston. The Jets play Kansas City and Tennessee. Buffalo plays Denver and Jacksonville. Otherwise, everyone in the AFC East plays Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Dallas, Philadelphia, Giants, and Washington.

Hey Knucklehead,



We haven't exactly been able to shut down Brady either.

Heck, when's the last time we beat them?

How many times have we beaten them in however long?

I was justa pointing out our run game ya tard since it was our biggest weakness last year. If I want to talk about the qb's we're facing or any other parts of the game, I'd go out and say it but I didn't want to. Keep up will ya!

Don't you have any Rob Johnson stats to figure out how he'd do next year? Oh wait!

Oh and yeah , I didn't ask for your opinion and if wanted it....... I'd ask Mikey to beat it out of you.
