There's no doubt that 2024 was a good season for the Buffalo Bills, making it to the AFC Championship Game, while quarterback Josh Allen went on to win his first career MVP Award.
They followed that up with an exciting offseason, which includes additions such as wide receiver Josh Palmer (three years, $29 million), defensive tackle Michael Hoecht (three years, $21 million) and defensive end Joey Bosa (one year, $12.6 million).
Now, there's a lot of excitement for what Allen and the Bills will accomplish in 2025, and on Wednesday, along with all other NFL teams, they officially released their schedule, revealing they will play a total of five primetime games.
However, a post from ESPN's Adam Schefter also showcases that the Bills are tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the ninth-easiest schedule based on their opponents' 2024 winning percentage (.467).
Many NFL fans have now expressed their frustrations about how the Bills and Allen ended up with one of the easiest schedules, despite being known as one of the better teams.
"NFL trying their hardest to get Buffalo a SB. Giving them an easy schedule every year," said one comment.
"Bills and a weak schedule per usual," said another.
"The nfl is apologizing to the bills atp," a third continued.
A fourth stated, "Of course Josh Allen gets a easy schedule."
"How the hell is buffalo on this list? They’re a top 5 team," a fifth questioned.
"Bills pampered by the league again," said another.

It is worth noting that per the NFL, "A formula determines each team’s opponents every year, and a rotating schedule ensures that every team plays each of the other 31 at least once in a four-year period."
That means that it's not as though the NFL went in and chose all of the Bills' opponents by hand, and they are instead predetermined, along with everyone else's.
