As a survive of the collapse of BBMB I am happy to be here. The discussions and posts are vastly superior for the most part and there is far less rose colored glass fans.

Yea its a really bad predicament for the Cards. The Cards have historically been a cheap and crappy franchise although since Bidwells son has taken over they seem to have shed that a bit, but I do wonder if that has any impact. The tough thing for the Cards is QB is the biggest need and elevator for success. Murray despite his warts is still a great talent who is your best option outside of Allen, Mahomes, etc... If you move off him your almost certainly not upgrading or even in talent so its a downgrade. But his antics do not make it easy to want to go 45 mil a year contract wise. I do not envy them

I thought the same thing. The decision to me felt intentional for as much attention as possible. To me some guys just want to win and some want to be a star. If you want to be a star doesn't mean you do not want to win, but actions seem to regularly occur with guys like that which aren't necessarily win first. I think Russell Wilson is actually closer to this also but he at least has won a bunch.

I do not think they were bad, but the white helmets currently are far superior. I will say that with the way they can do the Matte helmets that could make the logo truly pop in red. See through helmets!

The Bucs announcement below talks about the return of their popular creamsicle unis: https://www.buccaneers.com/news/bucco-bruce-bucs-throwback-uniforms-returning-2023-season Their twitter feed said it is delayed a year due to supply issues. I am wondering if that will impact the Bills return of the Red helmets.

pshh figures no respect per usual

From the thing I read from an LA reporter because Dallas played opening night last year they may not want to straight years and the NFL may not want to do that to them again. I think there is a far more legitimate chance it is Buffalo this year.

Dallas Cowboy in SB 5, don't recall the name without searching but it was called the blooper bowl due to turnovers.

In my opinion if every guest can recite every SB MVP in order from SB 1 on at the party then why are they even there 😅

The biggest indicator for the game to happen seems to be Buffalo being one of the few good non division games for LA and Dallas played last year opening night. Based off some stuff that came out yesterday it looks like the Bills are the front runner for those reasons to start opening night.

Yep. 2013 Week 1 and 2015 Week 2. Last two times we faced NE early in season Problem is our road schedule is superior to home for marquee games unless Rodgers returns then you have GB/NE/TEN as bigger draw options

Try 1 maybe 2 games. Their current thing with the throwbacks is once maybe twice a year depending. My guess is they probably do a home game 90s themed with the Red and perhaps you get one away game they wear those digs. Otherwise teams are pretty protective of using their current look for brand regardless of fan input.

In my opinion when this stuff comes out there is absolutely some level of truth that comes out. Now whether is is 25% truth or 75% obviously has a distinction. But if you told me a team like you said with big personalities like the Chiefs whose offense all year was up and down had issues with Bieniemy I wouldn't be stunned nor with some of his coaching calls. To the level of the article? Probably not, but I can buy the frustration as it happens with any team when things are bad or go sideways.

Oh don't worry come first week after free agency I will have my first mock schedule

F*ck that playa he throwing 500 yds 4 TDs week 1. Strap in were going to the SB!

Rumor has it Patrick Mahomes hates puppies

I miss having it earlier too but I at least appreciate that they now do it after the draft and FA so rosters are far more set and they can try for more intriguing matchups then the Titans Jags yearly TNF disaster.

I would add for Peyton he lost to the Charges in a game he never got the ball back and they year prior he lost 28-24 where the defense couldn't hold against Billy Volek at the end. With that said he has some really bad games in playoff losses including the first two games vs NE and a 41-0 thrashing by the Jets. Everyone talks about Vanderjets miss in 2005 but the final score was 21-18, not exactly Peyton's best day either. The flip side is from 2006 on he generally played pretty well in playoff games even losses.

I think that would be the wise smart move which they seem like they would do.

That screams SNF in the making

Since it is the offseason with not a lot happening I wanted to see peoples thought on what they want for some cool schedule stuff in 2022. Fill in your own on what your hoping for with these categories, here are mine: Opening Day: at Miami. I like opening week 1 on the road and give me a rookie head coach week 1 Home Opener: New England 1pm week 2. I doubt the NFL lets us go back to back division games to open, but after beating Miami lets wreck NE next at home Monday Night Football: Cleveland Browns I think that would be a fun game Thursday Night Football: at Cincy. This would be a really fun game and I can't expect all of our home games to be the national ones Sunday Night Football: Titans so we can get revenge at home

Seahawks are still a high ratings game. Literally the dude who is the head of NFL scheduling said the league looks at the ratings and know opening night is a guarantee last year. Of course they are not going to throw a dog in there either, but the Bills Rams will be a game every network wants. Putting it week 1 is straight up foolish compared to later in the season when sometimes the SNF or MNF matchups have the possibility of being weak. Rams Bills is a guarantee for a good matchup.

I would add opening night is always a high ratings game. Why sacrifice the Bills against the Rams which you can use week 10 when some teams may be down when you could put a weaker opponent in especially non AFC. Mike North brought this up last year on WGR talking to Sal about the schedule and strategically it makes perfect sense. Your best matchups you want spread for high ratings and week 1 you do not need to sacrifice one of those when its already a known quantity. Assuming Russell Wilson stays in SEA that is an easy game to put week 1 and still have competitive game with some marquee appeal.

I would argue this year there was no truly great team, rather a ton of very good teams that each had a flaw you could attack. If you said anyone of these teams won this years title would you have been surprised: Bills Chiefs Packers Bucs Rams SF TEN* DAL* Asterisks on these two because: The Titans probably had the worst QB of the bunch but with Henry they were a very solid team. Dallas everyone doubts and I get as they get overhyped, but they had the 2nd best point differential in the NFL and had they have enough horses it wouldn't have been stunning. So yea I would say for virtually everyone one of these teams had the stars aligned slightly better maybe they win instead of LA. Hell the Titans were a bounced INT from kicking the GW field goal and the Bucs barely got edged despite Brady doing his thing. Realistically I think this may be the case for the foreseeable future as the AFC has a bunch of young hot shot QBs and a good amount of talent while the NFC is in a reorder of sorts.
