the Jets are starting to scare me. Bowles has them ready

Darnold looks better than Stafford

I honestly thought it was a guy.

do tell

shot played and over

why is there a "medical tent" in an indoor stadium? this announcer sounds like he's been hitting the helium Bowles has the Jets looking ready. I am not sleeping on on NYJ this year. Stafford looks terrible

I'm not ready to throw in the towel on the Beane/McDermott regime after one game with a second string QB having one NFL start to his credit. It looks like we were not ready and I don't rule out a lost season of growing pains. Watching the Jets and Darnold I am convinced we need to start Allen and go with him

I've never been more relieved to have missed a game. I went golfing. It was great. The emotional rollercoaster of being a Bills fan continues. Why is it that the Bills looked the least ready of all the NFL teams? A few more weeks of this and it will confirm the feeling of a throwaway season. The Ravens are not this good. I just hope we aren't this bad. I feel sorry for Kyle and Lesean after games like this. Spending out their last years on a futile rebuild. I'm going to the home opener. I'd like to see Allen. At least he can keep opponents honest with his legs and arm. Tired of delayed gratification.

Sorry but being western born I still have a strong affinity for the Seahawks. I grew up on the Chuck Knox era Hawks and they were great. This was one of the best defenses ever and it was all dismantled one year too soon.

the offseason is over now

I listened to an interview with a Ravens blogger. He called 16 - 10 Ravens which is not a cover and he's a total homer

Bills fandom is like waiting for the Messiah

that's just too huge a line for a game played in the rain.

this just in .... coaches lie

The Ravens OL outside of Yanda and Stanley is filled with question marks

I don't recall any of Bucky's predictions coming true

of all the gin joints in all the world she had to walk into mine

the Cover 1 podcast had a guest blogger who covers the Ravens. He expressed a lot of worry that this Center may be facing some combination of Kyle and Star and that he felt this made them vulnerable

bad weather should mean less scoring and a closer game. Still I think we'll need points off turnovers to win Some facts of note: none of the current Ravens WRS were on their roster last year The starting TE Hayden Hurst is OUT starting Centre Matt Skura has only 12 NFL games under belt - all at OG. This is his first game as a Center

a kiss is just a kiss

I think the Bengals are going to smoke the Colts but I'm unsure of how many touches Ross will get.

Good article. That secondary was one of the best ever. It sounds like Wilson was one of the guys and that they shared a culture of internal accountability that the coaches didn't create. I'm sure it was all lovey dovey until the SB loss to the Pats. I don't think any team could recover from that loss and stay united. That was such an epic fail on the biggest of stages. Nothing lasts forever in football. The defensive stars don't sound like they understand that the rules are different for franchise QBs. The Pats have shown us that the other parts are interchangeable but the franchise QB is not. I think that it came down to money. When Wilson outgrew his rookie contract he had to get paid and that meant the rest could not get star treatment or pay. Since then Seattle has lost its personality. They haven't looked the same since Marshawn left. Their OL which was once a strength is now an embarrassment. I'm sure that having Sherman scream at everybody was Ok when they were winning but when it they didn't the coaches felt the need to take back control. Typical management tactic of bureaucratic control. Still I think Wilson is a special player and should be treated like one. You wonder if they'll rebuild a winning culture. Sherman was a special leader and I think his clout in the locker room outshone Wilson. The team will always go with the franchise QB. Still you wonder what might have been had they held together another season.

I think the Falcons belong in the Hall of Very Good

Doug Pederson is the new gold standard in playcalling

he's magic
