All right, let's get to what we got right what we got wrong from around the NFL in week one as we start to look ahead today to week number two. Thing I got most wrong, I think was this Bengals and Patriots matchup here here from both perspectives, right? I got Cincinnati winning the AFC North. I said, Joe burrow, healthy going into the season, would be able to put on a show early in the season that he would not be hindered by Jamar Chase having held out. I didn't think T Higgins was going to miss, but that's not a good enough excuse. 10 points for them, a 224 yards, 4.7 a pop. They were bad. And the Patriots, where everybody is terrible as I thought they'd be with Jacobi percent under center offensively, but their defense was magnificent. They were dominant. They were so good and ended up winning the football game almost single-handedly. So I thought the Patriots would not win for weeks. I thought the Bengals were going to look like a division champion right out of the shoot. And I couldn't have been more wrong. Yeah, I go that one. I rubber stamp it. I think I got right. The Carolina Panthers should be relegated. They are terrible. They are awful. They cannot do it. They are picking first in the draft yet again. They would have done it another year in a row, except they had to give Chicago their first round pick. I think I was wrong about speaking in Chicago. I thought that offense would be a lot better out the gate. They were anemic at times. They really struggled. No rhythm, no timing. Nothing looked good in week one. Tennessee deserves some credit for that defense, but I think they're going to be frisky and a pain in the butt. But now to the tune of your number one draft pick only thrown for 93 yards or whatever the hell it was. They were not good on that side of the football. I was wrong about that thing. I got right. Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins coming back from Achilles injuries. It's going to take time. And especially, I will say, I thought Rogers played better than Cousins did, but the jets are just not going to be that good very quickly. They have a very easy schedule coming up. Have you seen their schedule? I did. It's why I picked them to win the division. Their schedule in the next handful of weeks is Sherman soft. They've got the Titans this weekend, then the Patriots, then the Broncos, then the Vikings. They could very easily be four in one going into a showdown with the Bills on October 14th. They should at least win their next three and be three and one going into that Minnesota game. But I just didn't think it would come easily when a quarterback misses as much time as Roger says a year and a half without playing football at his age and some new pieces being thrown together there. I think I was right about the Arizona Cardinals are not good, but they are frisky. They're a pain in the butt. They're part of that middle bucket. Last year they were pretty atrocious, especially without Kyle and Murray. They were the better team in that Buffalo game for, you know, probably almost two thirds of it, but Josh Allen put his cape on thing I was wrong about again in that same game. I thought Buffalo was going to struggle at times and maybe you could say that they did, but the thing I underestimated is their quarterback when right is so bleeping, bleeping good that it doesn't matter. That's adorable defense. Let up a whole bunch. That's adorable. I don't have stuff on digs in his prime anymore. Watch me figure it out. Josh Allen was super human. The thing I was wrong about, I thought the Green Bay Packers would be a team you didn't want to play in September and they looked really bad in a quirky, weird international game, which I won't completely hold against them. Terrible field conditions, but Jordan Love was pretty ugly in that game. A 50% pass or 17 of 34 through a bad interception. And now he's hurt. So they are turning things over to Malik Willis very likely for at least a game. I would think probably a couple, although there is some speculation out there that maybe Jordan Love would come back and be able to play. I just don't know how that would be the case. That seems like wishful thinking. How do you not have a better plan than Malik Willis? Every time I've ever seen him play, he does not look like he belongs on an NFL field. They got the Colts this weekend and then the Titans after that. This is the underbelly of the schedule. I thought beat Billy and I picked them to do so, by the way, you're going to be three and oh, playing the Vikings at the end of the month. They now might be 0 and three going into that game. Hopefully with Jordan Love back, I guess his health notwithstanding, but I just don't give them much of a chance with Malik Willis. Am I overreacting? No, you are appropriately reacting. I would say a thing that I was wrong about will start there. I thought Cleveland would be a lot better. I didn't know that they would win in week one against Dallas. Dallas is still pretty decent, but they looked anemic. They looked out just totally overmatched on both sides of the football. By the way, at least I thought that Cleveland defense would travel and certainly be more capable. They were terrible in week number one. I don't know how much of a gavel slam I'm doing on that, but they were certainly really, really bad. So I was wrong about that. The thing I was right about is Pittsburgh's offense still stinks. They didn't score touchdown. Didn't matter because the defense was great and TJ Watt showed up. He made the trip, but no matter what you do, they're not a high scoring group. And Mike Tomlin did the Mike Tomlin thing where they don't score offensive touchdown and they still win. It's amazing. This episode is brought to you by progressive insurance.
