        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

            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.

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

                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.

                      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.
                      John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
                      David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.

                        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.

                            Detroit's Matthew Stafford and Chicago's Jay Cutler are set to square off in the first of three all-NFC games on Thanksgiving Day this season. What does the rest of the holiday's schedule look like?

                              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?
