Try being just another team in the league for almost 30 years lol. I was 12 in 1996 when the Cowboys won SB30 for 3 in 4 years. If someone told me then in the next 26 years the New England Patriots would play in 10 Super Bowls and walk away with 6 Lombardis while the Cowboys wouldn’t play in even one I’d have thought you were crazy. It was an awesome ride, but I’ll fully admit it turned a majority of the fan base into whiny entitled blowhards. The next decade will be a real litmus test for the bandwagon joiners. I started watching football the year Washington won their last,so the year before Dallas got their 1st of 3. I live in Redskins territory,so I picked Dallas as my team mostly because I got tired of their fans(and a lot of my family was Cowboy fans). So I saw them win 3 rings in the first 5 years I watched,I thought this was gonna be easy. Man,was I wrong about that lol. Did the same thing with the Phoenix Suns,when Sir Charles got them there and couldn't get past Mike. I thought well they'll get theirs in a year or two. Yeah,that didn't work out either.

I was spoiled at a young age too. I was 11 when the Yankees had won their 4th World Series in 5 years in 2000. Obviously they're always in the mix, but 1 championship 20+ years since then is not what they're hoping for.

Josh Allen is quickly becoming my favorite QB in the league

I kind of laugh at the story of Russell Wilson being pissed at Seattle for them attending the pro-days/scouting Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. As an organization you can’t just ignore prospects because you have a very good/great QB. And as it turns out, Mahomes and Allen are now both BETTER than Russell Wilson.
Anyway.. super impressive out of Buffalo. Allen was in MVP form. I did not see the 2nd INT he threw, but the first one was all on the WR. Diggs and the emerging Gabe Davis are gonna be a nasty duo this year. The one positive takeaway for LA… Cooper Kupp is a f*cling beast. Love that guy.

Yeah I’ve come to enjoy watching Josh Allen’s game even if he plays for a division rival. If last night is any indication the loss of OC Brian Daboll meant nothing for the Bills’ offense. I’d just be leery of calling as many designed runs with Allen.

Especially late in the game when it was 31-10… zero reason to have him run there.

Especially when he doesn't seem to give his self up much either. I've seen it first hand with Dak couple years back,going from at least a favorite to win the division to struggling to win 4 or 5 games. Isn't worth the risk of him running like that,that late in the game. At least go down even if you wanna run the play,I can just imagine after how the game was going,how some of those LA defenders would've loved to lay a warning shot his way.

Pretty wild week 1, glad to have all the craziness back!
I'm certainly disappointed the Raiders lost, although I also thought they would. Carr made a bunch of terrible throws, and LA was right there to make him pay. Davante was awesome, and for the most part I really liked the way the offense was operating. I didn't have a sense of dread over what they were going to do, or how they were going to do it. Making throws to Davante from the get go to move right down the field. Took until the second half to get the running game going, but it was nice to see as opposed to not at all. The O-line wasn't great, which was a concern, plus LA has some beasts rushing the passer so that makes it even harder. If Carr was on the money, or even over-throwing instead of under-throwing, maybe they find a way to get the W instead. Hopefully the good was just a taste of what's to come, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they respond at home next week.

The Titans traded AJ Brown so they could give Geoff Swaim the most snaps on offense.

Denver struggling early, and Russ gets lucky underthrowing a wide open Jerry Jeudy who manages to make the catch and run by defenders for a long TD.

I bet Patrick would have thrown 7 touchdowns if he had the accuracy of Tua.

Its gonna be a looooooooonnggg season in New England, oi vey... I’m too optimistic sometimes and still see chances of improvement. I don’t think they’re a playoff team, but 7-8 wins isn’t too crazy a thought in my mind.

The more things change the more they stay the same for Falcons. At least Bulldogs and Braves came through with championships for Georgia sports fan's.

The Chargers really blew that one

Chargers gotta be sore over that one for sure. Samuel drops a 100+ yard pick-6, then about 10 real minutes later KC is going the other way with a 99 yard pick-6. Could’ve been up 10, instead down 7.

I haven't gave Miami near as much credit as they deserve, that was one h*ll of a game. Tua tied a Marino/Griese record for tds in a game,never thought I would say that.

Tua making me look like a clown for calling him one of the worst starting QBs over the past year.
