Me: Man, the Jets are the hardest team to watch.

Giants + Pats: Hold our beer--

Bears + Vikings: BAD FOOTBALL GO BRRRRRRRRRRR

It aint getting better.

If it was going to, it would have been after the bye.

Being in Australia, I don't really have much of a comment on the Europe games; outside of being committed to watching the Chiefs this year, I don't want any of them in order to be up for the 1pm games.

But the Black Friday game this morning was nice. A bad game, but still having a game on a Saturday morning while nursing a hangover was welcomed. I'd put your feeling down to being new and different, it's always going to be inherently disruptive at first. Even the existence of the game is tied to Amazon, the fact we'll get it until 2033 is enough to make it feel like it has a natural place in the scheduling.

As great as Ja'Marr Chase is, not choosing Penei Sewell after Burrow knee got annihilated as a result of a poor OLine is probably going to haunt the Bengals for some time.

I'd like to see other positions highlighted in the same way tbh. Yeah the QB is by far the most interesting from a football perspective but theres still a plethora of stories to tell over the course of a season for WRs, RBs, defensive players etc.

The insight into their lives away from football and how football itself impacts it was one of my favourite parts of the Quarterback series.

The issue is the same as Mahomes is facing now, that outside of one great target and a promising rookie, Allen doesn't have reliable targets to throw to. The most basic, stock-standard WR2 and 3s you could imagine would be an upgrade for him. Davis isn't a good WR2 and Shakir doesn't feature much.

I'd say so, yeah. This wasn't a team that needed to make a number of big signings or trades, but the Miller contract and Diggs extension have definitely put them in a position where they don't really have a whole lot of wiggle room without having to lose a number of big names on the defense in FA this coming offseason. The Knox contract, as big of a fan of his as I am, isn't really paying off either.

Their cap situation was very much designed around winning a Super Bowl in 22 or 23 at the expense of the next few years.

It's not the 13 second game (even though our game last year showed they didn't learn from it before half time), they simply went all in last season to win a Super Bowl and for numerous reasons mostly unfortunate, tragic even, it didn't work out. What the 2023 Bills are is what happens when you go all in and it doesn't pay off. Paid off for the Bucs, paid off for the Rams, it's the Naked Man of the NFL.

As long as they have Josh Allen, they'll be fine as a franchise, for this current team it might just not have meant to be.
