Seven and Nine: Seven Key Games on The Bills 2009 Schedule.

Twas the Sunday before Christmas, when in a jam packed Ralph Wilson stadium, not a fan was quiet, and if the Bills could win this game it may incite a riot. Or it might just be another lopsided win in New England’s favor, and the Bills could be out of playoff contention by then.

After all that has been the norm in Western NY for far too long. But could you imagine if the Bills go into this one with a chance to not only sweep the Patriots, but to put a stranglehold on the AFC East?

If this game does end up having serious division and playoff implications, look for it to be moved to the prime time Sunday night slot.

7) Indianapolis 01/03/10

This could very well be a win and get in game. And against a veteran team like the Colts, it won’t be an easy task.

One thing's for sure though, the last thing Bills fans want is another game like the 2004 season finale against the Steelers, especially if the Colts don’t need to win this one.

Regardless the implications, it’s never an easy task playing a Manning led offense. And these Colts have come a long way since being a former AFC East cellar dweller that was usually good for two easy wins a year.

Here’s hoping this isn’t the only game Buffalo will be playing in January 2010. This is also another possible flex scheduling candidate.
