Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
yeah, 5 out of 6. At least most of the trips are relatively close-by and in the same time zone, except for Kansas City.
But there will be only TWO home games at the Ralph in well over two months, and that's pretty ****ed up.Comment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
5 of the last 8 games are on the road but we do finish the season with 2 home games which is a big advantage in December.
Not to mention starting the season with 2 home games...Comment

WIN THE EARLY HOME GAMES AND THEY WILL BE IN GOOD SHAPEComment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
If you break the season into quarters, it's really not that bad.
1st Quarter - 3 Home, 1 Away
2nd Quarter - 2 Home, 2 Away
3rd Quarter - 1 Home, 3 Away
4th Quarter - 2 Home, 2 Away
So yeah, the way our away games line up toward the end of the year isn't favorable, but I'm so sick of excuses. Have you ever heard a team blame the schedule for why they didn't make the playoffs? Nope, it's just the fans that do that. I don't care if we have 8 home games followed by 8 road games, just go live up to these lofty expectations that you've set for yourselves.Comment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
the coming off rest thing is a real complaint imo but i think we are 3/3 on that this season so thats fine. these home/away patterns are almost meaningless, especially since december has two home games which is somewhat unusual since they usually like to avoid december home games for attendance purposes (which shouldnt be a problem this season). so yeah the sched looks fine to me
if they are a legit team like they say they are then they need to win those first two home games. that would set the rest of the season up nicely, at least advantageouslyOne set of rules for all in the beloved communityComment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
This is just another example of how statistics can be used to color the real truth.Originally posted by Joe Fo Sho View Post
The reality is the two away games in the 4th Quarter come before the two home games & the Bills play 3 away games in a row in the 3rd Quarter, followed by one home game.
So reality:
AWAY

Well yeah, that's what I meant when I said that the away games don't line up favorably.Originally posted by better days View Post

Nobody is using it as an excuse.Originally posted by Joe Fo Sho View Post
It is just piss poor scheduling IMO.
There will be a stretch of five weeks in a row I don't watch the games with my friends because of the schedule.
Starts with the Jags game at 9:30 AM live stream only, I will watch that game at home on my Fios high speed internet.
Then bye week, followed by the Fins which I will watch at home on local TV, then two night games in a row which I will watch at home or the local sports bar.Comment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
So it's bad scheduling for the reason of out of town fans not being able to party.
Got it .
For us locals, it's 1pm Sunday games. Great for folks like me that have seasons.
Put in my vacation days around the 2 prime time games.
I remember years when our 1st 4 games were at home. Seen many other so-called unbalanced schedules.

I have no complaints about them at all & would be happy if every game was 1:00 PM on Sunday.
And locals are affected by the schedule as much as I am except for the London game which will be on OTA TV in Buffalo, but still at 9:00 AM.Comment

Re: 5 out of 7 on the road
Patriots have 5 out of their last 8 games on the road.
As much as I'd like to see the Bills on national TV, having 5 prime time games is nuts.
A week 4 bye. The Patriots have a lot of difficult road games.
