they might be counting posteason first-round Byes in there. Plus, some (actually most)teams have had their “game after the Bye” already 2023 while the Bills haven’t yet.
hey, even most Super Bowl champions have at least one game on their regular season slate where you go “how the hell did they lose THAT one???”
Unfortunately, we have two so far (not counting the Broncos game where you could make the argument for that one as well given the situation late in the game)
might be a good thing for the players to relax, re-charge, and re-set.
Plus, I guarantee the coaching staff wasn’t resting on their laurels for 9 straight days (well, I hope not).
regarding Mike Hanchey’s tweet (err, X) towards the bottom of your post… I can’t think of one time Cheffers tried to protect Rodgers with a b.s. call in the season opener!
