You and most of the people who commented on the tweet. I only hear snippets of the Bills radio calls. While I'm familiar with Murph's voice I don't have enough listens to have become attached to it. I thought Brown was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Schedule maker already screwing the Bills for next season. According to Cbssports.com here are our opponents for next season. Quote AFC EAST Buffalo Bills Home: Patriots, Dolphins, Jets, Broncos, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Buccaneers, Jaguars Away: Patriots, Dolphins, Jets, Commanders, Chiefs, Chargers, Eagles, Bengals A bunch of crap home games and then road games at KC, at Philly and at Cinn.

As a STH, I don't care too much about who are non-divisional opponents are. And getting 2 NFC East royalties at the stadium, along with a fast rising team like the Jags, is fine. I do wonder, though: Why does KC never come to Buffalo? Won't next season be, like, the 4th (5th?!) straight season (?) that the Bills go to KC in the regular season? I remember this being a point of conversation when the Bills played at KC this season. Wtf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think it's a result of the "standard formula" the league uses to build the schedules. For whatever reason it just comes out that way through blindly following the rules that create the schedule. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the third season and the next 3 after that will be in Buffalo, should they continue to finish in the same spots in their respective divisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Cbssports.com here are our opponents for next season. A bunch of crap home games and then road games at KC, at Philly and at Cinn. It's literally a formula. There is no schedule-maker per se for who plays who and where. The human element comes in on the sequencing but even there it's limited by rules like no more than 2 home or road games in a row, avoiding known stadium conflicts, LA and NY teams need to not be playing at home on the same day, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a formula and all but 3 teams are known at any time. You can find out who 14 of our 17 opponents in 2050 are, and whether they are home or away, if you want (and, of course, the formula doesn't change). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on CNN. A lot of pressure on Brown today too. Here's hoping Murph can get back soon. I like Chris over John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish played on the road three times in a row last month I should have been more expansive in my response. It's possible to play 3 in a row on the road or home. The last time it happened to the Bills was 2019. That said, I am sure the NFL's scheduling process, which certainly involves a Linear Program optimizer and/or Heuristic solver, tries to avoid this situation where possible. However, it will fall below 'hard' constraints such as the stadium is not available on a given weekend (like for a Phish concert) and would have to be prioritized vs. things like Network requests for certain games. But you're right, it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
