dollars 2 donuts

Jeepers, given how badly the Dolphins are playing I can’t even really enjoy it.* (* I am enjoying this beyond rational thought)

I wanted to say this before the season, but forgot. Put this possibly under “unpopular opinion” if you want, but I believe (and have believed) that Ron Rivera is one of the most overrated coaches in the league…maybe even a Jeff Fisher Award winner. I love that he beat cancer…but it is not an excuse for giving him a pass on being not very good at the coaching of the football.

Congratulations, everyone, for making it to day 23 of 1 Bills game!

You are darn right, Wiz. It should make anybody sad, and I am not even including all those that died during the two weeks before kickoff. Just before kickoff on Monday the Bills will have played one game in, I believe, 23 days.

Male mosquitos live on average 10 days. Which means by kickoff on Monday night there will have been a whole generation of male mosquitos that were born, lived and died while never having seen a Bills game, and Josh Allen, in their lifetime. So, NFL schedule makers, go take any of your thoughts about us being a "civilized society" and go blow it out your backside. Yes...blow it out, well.

Jeepers, I was thinking more along the lines of "My Name is Luca" by Suzanne Vega, but this is way, way, better! Nice pull, wjag!

Chiefs and Chargers Hey side note, and maybe semi related, but remember that time the Dolphins had the opportunity to take what would now be considered one of the top 3 or 4 QBs in the league and we were all hoping they wouldn't take him and then all of sudden they DIDN'T take him?! Remember?! ...good times.

In email headings if I have no further comment I put "nm" for "no more" (no message obviously, too), as in no more to the message and you don't have to open up.

I know that traditionally the NFL has done double Monday night games to start the season or in the first two weeks, but is this game a little bit of a dig on the Bills being a small market team? Make them the first game and even though they are one of the best teams gloss over the likely lower earlier game ratings and blend with the later game? Just wondering. I was surprised with the 19% drop in ratings from last year's Bucs - Cowboys opener. I mean the Bills and Rams were technically an epic match-up. However, maybe it makes sense because of Bills being a smaller market and Rams market, in mass or as a percentage of viewers just really not interested. Again, just speculating here.

I can't believe how bad this look is, both ways, anyway you cut it. "Look everybody, it's Brownie the white elf" The fights are going to make themselves on this (and this is all still about football, too). It's racist if the elf is a POC, it's exclusionary if the elf is not a POC (No one jump on me, because I don't make the rules, it's jus the way things are) Why the hell wasn't it a dog?! Browns, why are you so bad at absolutely everything you do?!!!!!!

That's like bringing a plastic knife to a gunfight.

I am already over the Rams game (almost) and can't wait for the Titans and this is still only Monday. We have the rest of the week and then another whole day of work next week before getting to 3 1/2 hours before kickoff. I don't know how I am going to survive this exact same schedule next year, and likely in '24, too.

Steve, when or who was that? 😄 Somebody did argue that one time around here, unsarcastically, and the guy may have even started a thread about it. 🤣

Because home wins count more than road wins.

The idea that this dreadful mess could possibly have higher ratings than the Bills game last Thursday is appalling. We watched an old man and a China doll tonight.

Jefferson is funny…damn, he was such a great pick for the Vikes. honestly and truly thank them for Diggs, but nice pull for them in 2020.

Herbert is a freeeeeeaaakkkkk!

Raiders defense being Raidery.

Just realized this and I am not a scheduling guru, but how the hell do the titans draw the Giants to open the season? Really? They had home field advantage last year so of course to get the nfl season started with a bang let’s have them play NFC Team Pathetic?

All the other BS aside to avoid thread distractions…why isn’t Beasley on that team already?

Kyle Murray is getting paid a lot of money to be somebody who looks like he shouldn’t have gotten paid all that money.

carolina got screwed on a roughing the passer on the final drive, too. terrible call.

Yeah, Rampage, my bad. Let me correct my comment above. I didn’t know it was specifically the pec, but it was either the pec or bicep. honestly, that simply sucks. Come on, man, game one and done? terrible. I wish it on no team and player.

Royale, I watched it live and saw him come off the field. man, you just knew that was it. I think he knew, too.

well, they are sitting alone in last place in their division right now. I can’t imagine their fans thinking yesterday everyone else would be 1-0 except them.
