Brashers Weekly Musings: Week 1 – Who Says Money Doesn’t Talk Edition?
Houston at Kansas City Things that have quietly been outsourced to India. Call centres, 7-11 staff, pretty much any sort of light transport and now GamePass subscriptions. The outdated NBN came just in time for WFH and home schooling but the real test will be buffer rates on Friday morning.
Cleveland at Baltimore Will the hype of the 2019 Browns off-season finally payoff? Some sideline stability might help. In the first 20 years of the Browns MkI franchise they had two head coaches, Paul Brown and Branton Collier. New Head Coach Kevin Stefanski marks the 12th Head Coach in the position for the Browns MkII over their first 20 years. Last coach for the Browns before that? Some guy called Belichick.
Chicago at Detroit Doesn’t matter which way I look at this division I just can’t pick which team will emerge as champion. The Vikings will most likely out-steady their rivals but there is argument for and against that these two clubs could be in the mix. If the Lions could be like a real football team for a bit and Trubisky gets yanked before the season is totally lost, anything could happen.
Green Bay at Minnesota 8 minutes and 33 seconds left in the second quarter. This will be the time on the game clock when Aaron Rodgers unveils his infamous ‘not amused’ look. Vegas odds for who gets the death stare first are 3/1 WR running the wrong route, 5/2 poor blind side blocking and 5/1 on the luxury box seating Brian Gutekunst.
Indianapolis at Jacksonville The Phillip Rivers Indianapolis Colts Experience officially kicks off today. He has always been a pretty smart cookie that Phillip, after years of enduring some of the worst assembled offensive lines that ever took the field and still managing to start every week he gets to spend his retirement years behind arguably the best offensive line in all of football.
Las Vegas at Carolina Josh Jacobs fantasy football owners can all breath a sigh of relief now that the Raiders have on traded their 3rd round rookie RB Lynn Bowden Jr without playing a snap in anger. I guess Bowden has the distinction of being one of the few professional footballer guys on earth that head coach Gruden doesn’t love.
Miami at New England Its not a good idea in a year with no preseason games, compromised training camps and a highly rated injury clouded rookie QB to role out a brand new built from the ground up offensive line. Enter Ryan Fitzpatrick, the man who made Covid style home grooming a fashion statement before anyone even knew what a pandemic was.
New York Jets at Buffalo Now is your time Buffalo. The Pats are without Brady for good, the Dolphins are rebuilding around a rookie QB and the Jets have Adam Gase. Sure you have to play the brutal NFC West this year so a first round playoff bye will be tough to accomplish but anything less than a divisional championship will be a failure.
Philadelphia at Washington Word is that current Washington owner Dan Snyder is coming under increased pressure to relinquish his controlling stake in the Football Team. Problem is Dan’s reign has provided so much entertainment for us for so long any change at the top will have big shoes to fill. I’d like to see Donald Trump buy them, the Washington Trumps just sounds right with the added bonus that we can continue to enjoy Trump’s social media forays without the fear of him inadvertently triggering nuclear Armageddon.
Seattle at Atlanta I have no logical reason for this but am picking a big turnaround season for the Falcons. Well week one anyway. Please, pretty please be a stud for old times sake Matt Ryan.
Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati I fear that Joe Burrows is going to soon learn that all tigers are not born the same. At LSU he played behind an offensive line that allowed him to pretty much do as he liked but now he has to line up behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. I still think he will be more Luck than Carr when its all said and done but its going to hurt early.
Arizona at San Francisco I’m not sure which poison would have been worse. The Cards selecting Nick Bosa and tormenting 49er QBs for the next decade or watching Nick Bosa flail around trying to sack Kyla Murray for the next decade. Can’t the NFC West draft a few more statue pocket passers? Thank goodness for Jarrod Goff.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans This is it Saints fans. Most likely Drew Brees last year, salary cap hell beckoning and now the second greatest QB of all time in your division if you can’t make a SB this year your likely done for a while. Mediocrity beckons.
Dallas at Los Angeles Rams Mike McCarthy is building himself some sort of resume. People who have yelled at him on the sideline during games include current HoFers Terrell Owens, Brett Favre, Jerry Rice and Aaron Rodgers. Jerry Jones is up next.
Pittsburgh at New York Giants The Giants are another team that will only go as far as their developing QB allows. What plays in NY’s favour is that they play in the NFC East and who knows what Washington and the Eagles are going to bring to the table this year.
Tennessee at Denver The Broncos have quietly gone about putting together a pretty good set of offensive weapons in the past couple of seasons. However, according to PFF the man at the control of all these offensive pieces, Drew Lock is the worst rated starting QB in the league. I think that is so unfair. Mitch Trubisky is scheduled to start in Chicago.

Finally we agree on something
I think there are lots of things we agree on but Bigfooty is not a mutual admiration society. I do know we disagree on which QB has the number one spot.

Hank Williams Jr out of MNF again. ESPN will use Rip it up by Little Richard.
Fox are the only network that will use virtual fans. and only for the Lions/Bears game this week. funny thing is that they look more realistic than the crowds in Madden that havent been updated since the early PS3 versions
