    And here we go. Football is back finally. Too bad, us Jets fans will have to wait until Monday but at least football is back.

    This year for the first time in a long time there will be a Friday night game on top of the season opener on Thursday.

    Chiefs host Ravens Thursday night on NBC and Packers-Eagles play in Brazil on Friday night. Packers-Eagles game will be streamed on Peacock and won't be available on antenna.

    Good luck to Jets and may all AFC teams playing against NFC teams lose this weekend. :)

    Even with Hamlin starting I would be shocked if the Bills aren't 1-0 by around 4:00 Sunday afternoon. The Cards aren't very good, and the game is in Buffalo. Look at the Bills next 5 games after this one. At Miami (TNF), Jacksonville (MNF), at Ravens (SNF), at Texans, at Jets (MNF). To say week 1 is a must win is nuts, but this is a game they really can't afford to lose.

    Barring injury to Allen, I don't see any way the Bills don't make the playoffs.

    Jeff. You are probably right but fatigue can also be a factor for Bills. Winning the division constantly but coming up short in the playoffs will probably cause a fatigue.

    I think he's been honest so far.

    Yep. Something you have to work on. I still can't believe you ditched me for work when I came to your neighborhood 2 years ago.

    Until you visit New Jersey and go to a game with me at Metlife I will hold a grudge. I like you dude. You are one great friend. :)

    I’m a bitter old man but I was excited for the season and immediately reminded why the NFL bores and annoys me.

    Between the delayed start with a million ads, and the refs throwing so many flags… it’s so annoying

    West Coast time zones are a lot easier on bitter old football fans... :confused:

    Why does Cleveland have to be the Guardians and Washington the commanders, but Kansas City “Chiefs” can continue with their phony Indian chants

    I wish they’d ask the commissioner that in his interview tomorrow

    The quality of flags is just dumb too.

    How is that roughing the passer on Mahomes to extend it to a TD drive?

    How is that not forward progress being stopped?

    How are they going to flag Ronnie Stanley 3 times for “illegal formation” but they let that Chiefs right tackle do his illegal false start leg kick every play and only flag him once?


    College is getting worse too but they do mostly try to keep their hands in their pockets still. The refs are dying to throw flags in the NFL.
