9/7/25 Other games chat (Around the League)

[RobbRiddick]

Yes, a bit early but wondered which games everyone else is looking forward to seeing before the Bills do battle?

 

I'll be keeping a close eye on the rest of the AFC east teams in the early games, especially Miami. I really hope they're as bad as lots of people are predicting. I don't think they'll be anywhere near as bad but hope I'm wrong.

 

Later I'm looking forward to Packers/Lions. No dog in the fight, just hoping for a great game

[SoonerBillsFan]

Ill be checking things out for my fantasy teams.

[RiotAct]

the Raiders-Pats game will be interesting.  Two teams that a lot of pundits think will be much-improved this season.

Yeah, interested to see how much Maye has come along in year 2

Hoping the Giants pound washington today.  

 

Would be fun to see the rams beat houston also.

 

Aaron Rodgers playing poorly would be very enjoyable also.

[Albany,n.y.]

I'm going to be watching both 1:00 games on local TV.  Giants & Jets.  I have 2 TVs near each other in the living room.  I'll probably have the sound on the Jets game unless the Giants game is better after play starts.  

[JerseyBills]

Any locks? 

[Bills!Win!]

Jets vs Steelers will be a circus

Browns lose book it

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Browns opening 6 games are brutal. The radio guys and fans here have deluded themselves into thinking they can win 8 games. They have a chance today because they match up well with Cinci. If they lose today however they will be 0-6 soon.

I dislike Rodgers. But I dislike the Jets more. I hope he scorches the heck out of them. Would be absolutely hysterical.

I'm going to enjoy watching Red Zone today. 

 

Steelers vs Jests is Rodgers vs Fields in Met Life.  I have NFL Gameday Morning on.   They are really trying to talk up Fields. IMO, the only reason anybody cares about Fields is because he was such a high draft pick.   Mariucci (I think) was talking about how Fields has improved every year.  Unfortunately, that improvement hasn't been significant enough to make Fields a good QB.  It's likely to be raining during at least the first half which I think favors Pitt.   I think the Stillers win because they're simply a better team than the J-E-S-T-S.

 

I'm most interested in Fishies vs Colts at Lucas Oil, Titans vs Broncos in Mile High and Giants vs Commanders in Northwest in Landover.

 

I want to see how Sam Darnold and Geno Smith look with new teams, and get a look at JJ McCarthy.

Cleveland's DL vs Cinci's OL seems likely to determine the Brownies' fate in this game.   If Garrett and Co can get after Burrow, they have a chance.  Last year that Bengals' OL was pretty shaky, and they didn't do much to improve it.

Especially with the game in Met Life!

MIami vs Colts is a good game. Curious to see Jones on the Colts light up the Phins.

[Lagoon Blues]

Was curious to see Jax w/ Coen but I think the heavy rain and thunderstorms will def weigh on Lawrence's game.  That line hasnt moved much since the forecast became clear.  Not saying Carolina will win but that weather def will give them a bit of a boost in my opinion, prob a better run game. Shying away from that one now.

You can almost see the season's script for the Browns already. If they're bad early on everyone will be cheering for Sanders. If he turns out to play like crap when he does finally start his dad and fanboys will all be saying the coaches aren't using him correctly and not playing to his strengths. After the season the coaching staff and FO will get fired and Sanders will become head coach.

Panthers could be very improved this year

Saints have a chance for a 0 fore this year

Why the hate for Shedeur Sanders?   Did he ask for all the media speculation about him going #1 in the draft?   I think he's dealt with the reality very well.  Hate on his dad if you've got to hate.   If the coaching staff and FO listen to fans, then they deserve to be fired.
