Personal scheduling quirk

[Patrick76777]

I went to a hand full of games pre-1987. Half the home games in 87, 88 and 89 and I've only missed 3 home games from 1990 to present.

That's a lot of games.

As most of you already know, Tampa Bay has never played here. It's the only team that I've never seen play so it's kinda exciting that they'll be here for week 2. Of course, most of us have not seen a Bills v. Bucs game so it's not that big of a story.

But there are only 2 teams that I have never seen the Bills beat. Tampa Bay of course being one of them. The other team is the Saints. I've seen them twice and we've lost both (89 and 01).

Not only are they both coming here, but they're coming in back to back weeks at the start of the season. So it's possible that after all of these years, I MAY be able to knock out both of them within 7 days.

idk, I think it's neat.

I think it's crazy how the Bucs have never played in Buffalo after over thirty years in the league. I wonder how many teams go 30+ years without visiting a city. With the new schedule and divisions, each out of division team in the same conference are guaranteed to play every third year. Out of conference teams are scheduled to play each other every fourth.

I know there isn't a conspiracy (or is there?!?!?!?!) to keep the Bucs out of Buffalo, just one of those scheduling quirks.

Didn't the Saints finish 8-8 last year?

That is pretty cool Patrick! I was at that game in 2001 vs. the Saints. It was the first one I took my wife (girlfriend then) to. I specifically remember Slob Johnson throwing 3 picks to the SAME PERSON. Sammy Knight?

That game was just before or after 9/11. I wanna say it was 2 days before.

Re: Personal scheduling quirk

I don't remember either but I think it was just before because didn't they cancel week 2 games that year?

I hope everything works out for you and you get the two wins. That'd be huge.

Re: Personal scheduling quirk

You were right... 2 days before.

I still have a bunch of scans in my computer from that game. Sigh.. I kinda miss the red endzones.

Yeah, esp since it may be 8 years before they both come back. THat is if they keep the same schedule format. I know that this was the last year of the original format.

I think Ricky Williams had a big day during that Saints game in 01.

Same here. Loved the Red Endzones.

Re: Personal scheduling quirk

Really? I wasn't aware of a new schedule format. Interesting!

Re: Personal scheduling quirk

That 2001 game against the Saints was the first Bills game I'd ever been to. Flew out back to the west coast via Boston on the 10th...

Well when they did the first one it was for 8 years. 2002 to 2009. So I don't know if they'll just keep it rolling or re-do it. I haven't heard anything about it. But I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

LOL you are too much that Juggernaut 8-8 Saints team will blow us out of the water at home...
