I think she's a mess behind the scenes. Most people show you exactly who they are if you pay attention. (Blank space song.) There's something there that keeps men away, sometimes on separate continents.

He was drafted way too high. He's 75% great athlete, 25% legit QB. Fields would have benefited from sitting the entire 2021 year, learning the game. I know Dalton got injured, but they should have signed a FA and given Fields time to learn the game.

Once the weather turns cold/bad, you'll need Murray and Harris at full strength. Those two guys are quietly big parts of this offense come November - when the weather gets messy and winds pick up and you need a hard nosed run game. They will win a football game for the Bills this season.

Payton's most significant hurdle was (and remains) getting RW to perform at average to above average quarterbacking, with average receivers. Denver will be in a lot of shootouts this year because they have an *undisciplined* defense that plays out of control at key times. Kareem Jackson is good, but he'll get kicked out of a lot of games this year if he keeps it up. He rocked Meyers last week and went for the head of Logan Thomas yesterday. His ejection (and the penalty) completely flipped that game to Washington.

Murray is a real running back.

I thought Game 1 went well. Had to adjust the entire defensive plan after four snaps. I think that if it was Wilson behind center a week prior to the game, they would have shut down the run game and make Wilson win it with his arm.

Giants. The entire team didn't show up for a home opener and got demolished.

He better get straightened out emotionally and cognitively. Can't play like he just snorted the entire bag of cocaine in the tunnel before warmups.

CBS Sports had a great read on how snake bitten the Jets are as a franchise with QBs. I forgot that the Jets had great expectations for a 1999 campaign, after reaching the championship game in 1998. Much like 2023, it imploded in the first game when Vinny Testaverde, who went to the Pro Bowl in 1998, tore his Achilles in the second quarter against the Patriots. The Jets would finish 8-8, trotting out several quarterbacks through the season. Also in the 1999 campaign, the Bills lost their opener to the Colts, getting their doors blown off 31-14. Flutie had a terrible game, going 22-42 for 300 yards, with 2 picks, and five sacks.

Quite the solid podcast. I enjoyed that.

I don't think Ken Dorsey calls every play. I suspect Josh Allen gets to pick plays himself for big chunks of the game, and it's often the completely wrong play to pick, it inevitably goes bust, and the hero ball commences. A calm, collected offense doesn't throw the ball 46 times when you're up on an opponent in a game like last night. It is more precise. It uses the bruising running backs it has to soften up that defensive line and run the clock.

Play calls stunk. Trying, sometimes desperately, to make Cook happen. Demoralizing loss.

Career defining moment is here.

Time to show up.

Better ***** get to it on this possession.

Theyaew going to let these ***** guys back into a game they have no business winning.

Short and sweet please.

Time for a TD.

Jet's know that play.

I never thought Id see Ryan Fitzpatrick so much.

I dig the aggression.

He's in for a rough season. It will take him nearly the entire 2023 season to get to where he was in the 2022 season with the Bills. He's slow to know the playbook, and to boot, a defense that's entirely different from what the Bills ran, to where he doesn't need to think about what to do, he just does it. He won't be great for the Bears this year, but in future years, barring injury, he'll put up 2022 stats for them.

Biden commemorating 9/11 in Alaska is likely because his travel staff, likely comprised of people who were either born after 9/11 or don't care about it, completely forgot about the day when planning his schedule. I don't think he, to a person, would have missed it, as he's attended every other 9/11 event prior.

Enthusiasm for this season is higher than previous seasons. I like what they've done to bolster the run game, and I think moving on from Leslie Frazier is a plus. Of the games on the schedule, this Jets game hasn't concerned me much. The McDermott-era Bills win when they show up, and they show up for the openers and in September overall (.650 winning percentage in September). His Bills have had AR's number historically, and regardless of greatness, quarterbacks on new teams have a difficult first game.

I think the Bills are primed for a fantastic season. Stacked roster with years of corporate knowledge of the system, love the roster moves at RB, and I think McDermott calling the defense is additive. I also think the team, coaching staff included, realizes this season is "it" for the current iteration of the roster. There's a remodeling coming next season, so the time is now. I think the idea of the "uber" Jets is overblown to a degree. Teams take time to gel, and I expect them to be inconsistent Monday night on offense. Miami rides and dies on an injury prone-QB. The 2023 Patriots are the 2008 Bills. Dangerous in September, but fade as the season goes on.
