Let me make a few predictions...

Well done Detroit Lions. They had a strong opportunity to steal a win and they did it. Way to set the tone for the rest of the year.

I think the Lions would be extremely lucky if they make it to the playoffs. And if they do, out after the first game.

The Jets will be a tough game for the Bills. Rodgers debut and all that. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills go the way of the Chiefs in week 1.

Can't see the Jets go anywhere, plus f&$k Rodgers, he needs to go. I'm glad the Packers got rid of him.

So, people tell me that the Bills tend to start the season off hot, i.e., winning, where as the Jets and Rodgers both start the season slow.

Same procedure as every year for the Bills. Play a strong season, miss the championship final or if they're extremely lucky, go there and lose.

Interesting. I have them winning the division. They have been trending up the last several years and I like the Culture Campbell is bringing to them. Also, Goff seems much more comfortable, almost that forgotten QB who got shipped off from LA to a smaller team. I don't think he feels any pressure this year.

If you ask my buddy who is a die hard Lions fan, they are going to the Superbowl every single year! The text thread when they beat the Chiefs was "epic" on his part. The poor guy always gets shot down in the end.

I think they have a good chance right now to have a good season and possible make the playoffs, but I agree... I don't see them going past the first round.

Wow, that was a pathetic performance by the Steelers today. It was so bad the stands at Acrisure Stadium had circa 20% 49ers fans and the chant of Let's Go Niners! could be clearly heard on the TV broadcast.

I know the 49ers have e great defense, but I think Steeler Nation got a little too excited about Kenny Pickett. He may still be good, but he's still only a second year guy.

Man alive, the cowboys put on an ass whoopin

Just looking at the stats, it did not look like a very exciting game. Both Qbs had passing at or under 200yds, no rushing. Not a very good start to the Sean Payton era

I expected the Bengals to do better than a 3 pts to 24 loss at the Browns.

 

[rhett7660]

The Cowboys put the big hurt on the Giants. Wow... loved it.

They did not show up at all. Talk about underwhelming.

They looked terrible.

I hate the Cowboys...but that was a legendary beatdown.

At least Pickens on the Steelers got me some FF points, Goedert on the Eagles got me 0 points. 🤣

The Dolphins and Chargers game was fun to watch.

Mahomes is my FF QB. Disappointing week 1.

Wow... Rodgers goes down!!

 

[Rafterman]

Wow... Rodgers goes down!!

I never wish injury on a guy, but the hype about all this (I'm talking to you, Mike Greenberg) and Jets fans penciling in a Lombardy already got tiresome. I'd LMAO if Rodgers is out for a while.

 

[Flamingdeathbolts]

That was an epic end to the Jets vs Buffalo game.

Was surprised how much the Jets had the stop on Allen.

 

[Rafterman]

The Bills have serious problems on all three phases of the game. Josh's turnovers, bad run D, special teams breakdowns. Nothing changed from last year. If they can't beat Zack Wilson, they won't beat anybody.

They showed a leg whip that should hve been a flag on that final play.

I didn't see that in the replay I saw...

I never expected the Jets to win w/o Rodgers, but there you go. ESPN is saying that the Jets are really nervous its an Achilles tear. I suppose we'll find out later today

Really kills the vibe of beating the Bills too!
