Week 2 at home v. Miami? Ugh...

[sudzy]

I knew there was NO shot of Buffalo playing on Thanksgiving. We are not a media darling like Miami.

[Meathead]

yeah but at least they sent the packers here in the middle of december

[The Popcorn]

yeah but at least they sent the packers here in the middle of december


That'll help sellout that game. Their fans will get the remaining tickets.

[ckg927]

I knew there was NO shot of Buffalo playing on Thanksgiving. We are not a media darling like Miami.

We have to EARN getting a prime time spot(and I don't mean the NFL's edict that every team will have a nationally televised game-I mean the NBC Sunday night game and ESPN's MNF game)and the only way you do that is win games. So stop *****ing about it.

[sudzy]

Curious to see how many teams they play after their bye weeks?

**** that. We haven't played a Thanksgiving game in 20 years, and twice in the last 5 we've had a 50% chance of being the team. This is straight up horse****.

[SquishDaFish]

Only the Jets twice. We get the Jets after their bye and we get them coming off a long week I believe

[DraftBoy]

**** that. We haven't played a Thanksgiving game in 20 years, and twice in the last 5 we've had a 50% chance of being the team. This is straight up horse****.

How is it horse****? The rules changed nothing foul about it.

Just one, when we host the Jets.

[ckg927]

**** that. We haven't played a Thanksgiving game in 20 years, and twice in the last 5 we've had a 50% chance of being the team. This is straight up horse****.

STOP the damned whining! Win and everything will take care of itself. That is the ONLY way you get respect in this league, not how much a fanbase can ***** about getting jammed up.

[ICRockets]

The Lions are playing the Bears on Thanksgiving...

-Bill

[DesertFox24]

What I care about is how many games do we play where the other team has extra rest. From what I read on BB.com looks like the jets have extra rest for both of our games.

I really wish the NFL would make it so you your division teams did not get rest before you played them

[ICRockets]

STOP the damned whining! Win and everything will take care of itself. That is the ONLY way you get respect in this league, not how much a fanbase can ***** about getting jammed up.

Go **** yourself, you don't get to tell me how I'm supposed to react to ****.

[feldspar]

We only play ONE team after their Bye week this year, and that's the Jets. That happens in week 12...but the Bills play on a Thursday in week 11, so they'll have 10 days. I don't know who we are playing coming off Thursday games, but this is nothing like last year.

EXTREMELY rough stretch in December. The Bills play the Broncos, Packers, and Patriots that month (and the Raiders). Three out of those four games are on the road, too.

Funny that they didn't back-load the schedule with division games...just the Patriots in the final game.

[sudzy]

**** that. We haven't played a Thanksgiving game in 20 years, and twice in the last 5 we've had a 50% chance of being the team. This is straight up horse****.

1994 was the last one. Dave Krieg throws a TD first play on the way to a 35-21 win.

[BLeonard]

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/04/23/source-bears-to-play-at-lions-on-thanksgiving/



The game will kick off at 11:30 a.m. CT on CBS, part of new scheduling rules that allow select all-NFC games to be played on CBS.

The Eagles will play at the Cowboys in the second Thanksgiving game, while the 49ers will host the Seahawks in the primetime game, the source said.

The new flex scheduling rules go into effect this year, allowing the NFL to put better games in important timeslots. In the past, the Lions would have had to play either the Dolphins or Bills on Thanksgiving this season, because it was CBS’s year to have the Detroit game. Instead, they’ll have a more intriguing Bears-Lions matchup.

As a result of the new rules, there won’t be an AFC team playing on Thanksgiving this year.

3 NFC vs NFC games WTF???

Bears/Lions
Dallas/Philly
Sea/SF

[ckg927]

Go **** yourself, you don't get to tell me how I'm supposed to react to ****.

On Twitter there's a lot of complaining about the schedule. You're not the only one. And my response was the same on Twitter as it is here.

All the Bills have to do to get a better schedule next year is JUST WIN. It's that simple.

[ICRockets]

My understanding of that provision was that it allowed for flexing games to different channels, I didn't realize they could just straight up schedule it this way. Wish they'd have gone with an all AFC matchup at night, but it's hard to argue against Niners/Seahawks.

[Homegrown]

1st 8 games, 1 2013 playoff team, then the bye...

[DraftBoy]

What are you talking about rules changing?

[BillsImpossible]

Who wants to play on Thanksgiving? Detroit plays this game every year, and they suck every year.

Thursday games suck, period. Playing professional football 4 days after a game is not smart...it's a watered down, tired product.

Why not Friday Night Football? And how about doing away with the Thanksgiving Day game for good and replacing it with a Friday Night Game?

Players hate playing on Thursdays because it's not enough time for their bodies to recover from the previous game.

When's the last time the NFL had a memorable, great game on Thanksgiving? Dan Marino in a snowy Dallas, 20 years ago?

[BillsImpossible]

Can the Bills get, "flexed," to Sunday Night??

[sudzy]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000343516/article/2014-nfl-schedule-no-afc-teams-on-thanksgiving


With the ability to place an all-NFC game on CBS during one of the league's most popular football days of the year, it's possible the NFL believed the Bears (http://www.nfl.com/teams/chicagobears/profile?team=CHI) were a better matchup for Detroit's annual holiday game than the two AFC teams scheduled to visit Ford Field this season -- Miami Dolphins (http://www.nfl.com/teams/miamidolphins/profile?team=MIA) and Buffalo Bills (http://www.nfl.com/teams/buffalobills/profile?team=BUF).

I can live with that. The Jets get extra time in both games against the Bills for the second year in a row, though.

[DraftBoy]

Divisional Matchup on a day where 99% of the Country is in a home with at least one TV in it? Hell yea its a better matchup.

[BertSquirtgum]

Not having a Monday night game made not renewing my season tickets feel better.

[Mike13]

Week 2 at home v. Miami? Ugh...

We dont get the September heat advantage against you, so its all relative.

No it is not,

Even if the Bills make the playoffs this year, that is no guarantee you will see any more Bills games in prime time next year.

[ICRockets]

No it is not,

With our fans, I have to assume that the NFL wants us to be good enough to justify primetime games. I want to get in on that idiotic decibel record thingy!!

Friday night is for High School football as it should be.

You will NEVER see an NFL game on Friday.

[OpIv37]

**** that. We haven't played a Thanksgiving game in 20 years, and twice in the last 5 we've had a 50% chance of being the team. This is straight up horse****.

do you remember what happened in that game? Kickoff is a touchback. First play from scrimmage, handoff to Barry Sanders. Entire Bills D collapses on him- he flips the ball back to the QB on a flea flicker that results in an 80 yard touchdown. And that's when we were still good. It's worth at least a 20 year ban from T-day.

[better days]

And the LAST game of the year, at the Patriots* AGAIN.

That SUCKS!

[OpIv37]

No it is not,

Even if the Bills make the playoffs this year, that is no guarantee you will see any more Bills games in prime time next year.

Given our record in prime time, how poorly this team has performed lately, and how hard it is for us to sell out home prime time games, why would we WANT more prime time games?

We've sucked for the last 14 years or so. More prime time games would have meant nothing except more people witnessing our suckage.

And personally, I don't even like prime time games. They end so late on the east coast, and if we win, I'm too pumped to sleep, and if we lose, I'm too pissed to sleep. Then I'm tired as hell at work the next day. **** that.

Such a perfect example of someone posturing on the internet to be such a no-nonsense tell it like it is internet guy.

It would be less sad if you weren't completely wrong.

The Dolphins, Jets, Texans, Redskins, Cowboys, Giants and Falcons all have MNF games.

Most of those teams were either comparable or worse than the Bills last year.

Good try though, tough blue collar internet guy.

If I remember correctly we usually play pretty well in prime time, we just find a way to blow it in the end. They've mostly been very entertaining.

[TacklingDummy]

6-10 is going to be a reach.

Notice one thing those teams all have in common: They're all from MUCH larger cities than Buffalo. Much bigger TV markets.

Jacksonville, Cleveland, Cincy and Minnesota have performed similarly to us lately as well- where are their prime time games?

One big difference…

Major market, major market, major market, major market, major market, major market, and major market.

[GingerP]

Opening lines are out. Bills are 6.5 point underdogs against Chicago in the 1st game.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Friday night is for High School football as it should be.

You will NEVER see an NFL game on Friday.

You won't because it's illegal.

Literally, as in it's specifically barred by law.

[paladin warrior]

:blowup:WHAT!!!! The F**K ..Bills play vs Patriots week 17 AGAIN .:negrep: Bills did played last year.. Oh Come on.. and :shoothead: Plus No Monday Night :shoothead:

[feldspar]

1st 8 games, 1 2013 playoff team, then the bye...

That's what they said at nfl.com, but it's not true. The Bills play the Chargers in week 3, and the Patriots in week 6...so that's two teams that made the playoffs.

[BuffaloRedleg]

No no I get that. What I'm responding to is the "just win" assertion. That is just plain false.

[better days]

Why do you think the Bills will be worse this year than last year?

6-10 was not a reach last year, the Bills should have won a few more than that.

Change the drop down to 2014



1 Sep 7 1:00PMEDT ) AT Bears - LOSS (can't imagine winning on the road)
2 Sep 14 1:00PMEDT * Dolphins - Win
3 Sep 21 1:00PMEDT * Chargers - Win
4 Sep 28 1:00PMEDT * AT Texans - Loss (texans just need a qB who doesn't suck. they get that guy in the draft)
5 Oct 5 1:00PMEDT ) AT Lions - Loss (classic game you always chalk up as a win, but it never works that way)
6 Oct 12 1:00PMEDT * Patriots - Loss (as long as goodell and kraft are working together, this game will never be exciting)
7 Oct 19 1:00PMEDT ) Vikings =WIN
8 Oct 26 1:00PMEDT * AT Jets - LOSS (classic boring meadowland game that has the home team winning)
9 BYE
10 Nov 9 1:00PMEST * Chiefs - Loss (chiefs were pretty good last year)
11 Nov 13 8:25PMEST , AT Dolphins - Loss (prime time on the road never works out)
12 Nov 23 1:00PMEST * Jets - Loss (jet's running game somehow takes over for 1 game in the season)
13 Nov 30 1:00PMEST * Browns - Loss (Pettine storyline obviously trumps our ability to win)
14 Dec 7 4:05PMEST * AT Broncos - Loss (um superbowl appearance in high altitude; even the homers are with me on this one)
15 Dec 14 1:00PMEST ) Packers - Loss (great QB's beat the bills for the last 14 years. it continues)
16 Dec 21 4:25PMEST * AT Raiders - Win (raiders are dysfunctional and probably will enlighten us with yet another terrible draft)
17 Dec 28 1:00PMEST * AT Patriots - Loss (the second pats beating is always worse



4-12 is what i'm seeing as noted above.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Why do you think the Bills will be worse this year than last year?

6-10 was not a reach last year, the Bills should have won a few more than that.

Why do you assume the Bills should have won more? Because we lost some close games? We won some close games too.

[Historian]

The Bills have enough marquee talent that they should be on Monday or Sunday night at least once.

[PromoTheRobot]

Only the Jets twice. We get the Jets after their bye and we get them coming off a long week I believe

And we come off a Thur game the week of the Jets bye. There are no issues like last season on teams with byes before playing us.

[ckg927]

No it is not,

Even if the Bills make the playoffs this year, that is no guarantee you will see any more Bills games in prime time next year.

Point to you on that matter.

I'll extend mine and say Buffalo needs to win on a CONSISTENT basis-year in and year out. Not be a one-season wonder, get some prime time action, blow chunks the next year and get back to the blah schedule.

I'm not referring to the teams you mentioned. I'm referring to US. Buffalo. We're NEVER going to get the love those teams you mentioned do. At least not from ESPN.

The only way the Bills get that love is by sheer, brute force. And that means winning on a consistent basis...not, as in Houston's case, putting up a 12-4 record in 2012(improving slightly from the season before)and then completely crapping the bed last season.

He doesn't think, trolls are not capable of thinking. :crazy:

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Did the Bills permanently withdraw their request not to have night prime time games? I remember some years back they specifically asked not to have them.

[upstart]

And the LAST game of the year, at the Patriots* AGAIN.

That SUCKS!

It's a by week for the Pats to get ready for the playoffs.

[better days]

It's a by week for the Pats to get ready for the playoffs.

I HATE this schedule from opening away against an NFC team, to finishing with back to back away games with the last being against the Pats* AGAIN.
