Bills Open Season in Primetime

-Coast

The NFL announced that the Bills will open the NFL Season on Monday Night at Foxboro at 7 PM to kickoff ESPN's Monday Night Football season. T.O. already paying dividends. There is no way in hell that the Bills would have landed this spot without him.

So what...the Bills play the Patriots on the road to open the season. Everyone must be so pissed...another opening day loss...a 16th loss in 17 tries to the hated division rivals. I was pissed originally...after all, we will be without our best offensive player for that game in Marshawn Lynch. In thinking more about it though...this is HUGE. Bill Belichick with 0 minutes of 2009 game film to watch...who can't love that?

The Bills have played New England twice on opening day during this stretch of ownage we are going through. 2003 season...31-0 Bills. 2006 season...19-17 Patriots. That is a total of Bills 48 Patriots 19. I love it.

Also, this will be Tom's first game back from his injury. We all saw Manning at the beginning of last season...dude was rusty. Brady probably won't play a lot in the pre season thinking he can just step into the game and not miss a beat...and there is probably no better person to face than Dick Jauron in order to accomplish this...but week 1 beats week 10 when Brady is back and healthy.

If the Bills are going to have any shot of stealing one in that building, it will be opening day 2009.
