You guys ready to hear a satanic song?
Chiefs/Steelers is going to be a shoot out. I'm guessing at least 3 50+ yard tds from both teams.

I honestly think the only reason McDermott isn't making Peterman start this week is because he knows that Peterman is going to get booed coming out of the tunnel on the home opener unless you have your defense come out first.

And then Peterman gets booed the second he comes on the field.

Josh Allen might be lucky enough to throw an interception or two before the boo birds come out.

The stadium went absolutely nuts cheering for an incompletion in preseason, so I think the fan base is pretty well conditioned to accept his lovely play for at least a little while. Having Peterman barf all over himself again is going to give Allen a whole lot of slack.

allen throwing ints wont matter because he'll make 2 or 3 fuckin sick throws alongside them, which peterman never does

Seriously. If he can't last a game before you have to put in the rookie you tried to protect throughout training camp, then you have to find someone else and replace him.

Matt Moore is the best remaining option. He at least has looked mediocre a few times. Could also picture a cheap trade for RG3 or McCown.

Beat me to it. The Bills clearly aren't interested in actually winning this year and there doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to playing Allen just yet (not that I believe there ever will be, but playing him now could actually hurt him). Sign Christian Hackenberg and let that guy throw some passes. poo poo, he'll even be bad enough that you can put Peterman back in eventually and people won't complain will complain less than they would have.

Want to distract myself at the moment, so... when does each new coach get their first win?

Here's weeks 2-8 for each team:

Colts: @Washington, @Eagles, Texans, @Patriots, @Jets, Bills, @Raiders.
Titans Texans, @Jaguars, Eagles, @Bills, Ravens, @Chargers <Bye>
Raiders @Broncos, @Dolphins, Browns, @Chargers, Seahawks, <Bye> Colts
Giants @Cowboys, @Texans, Saints, @Panthers, Eagles, @Falcons, Washington
Bears Seahawks, @Cardinals, Buccaneers, <Bye>, @Dolphins, Patriots, Jets
Lions @49ers, Patriots, @Cowboys, Packers, <Bye> @Dolphins, Seahawks
Cardinals @Rams, Bears, Seahawks, @49ers, @Vikings, Broncos, 49ers.

Bears look to have the easiest road and should be off this list fast.
Giants and Cowboys have some hilarious laughers, so that's a pretty good shot. Others are... tricky.

I don't see a win for the Titans until week 5 or the Cardinals until week 5 (if then). I'll take the Colts on the back of an Andrew Luck Lovefest.

^^--I think Washington's gonna be strangely solid this year. I could easily be wrong of course.

Gruden's getting a win fairly soon one way or another. Cards Bears will take care of one of those teams. If the Bears win that Cards/Seahawks seems like a potential win for Arizona just because its in division at home and even when Seattle was awesome they always seemed to play tough games against each other.

I think the Titans are capable of beating the Texans, and if all else fails that Bills game will happen eventually.

Man the Colts schedule is kinda rough if they can't beat up on Nick Foles. Even if they did manage that the defense might be too good. They might have to wait for the Bills if that doesn't work.

The Lions might be stuck waiting for a while.

You will note, there are possibly 2 open players. One in the Endzone, the other the guy with the ball who I imagine if he ran straight-leaning left, may have been able to touch down.

Having Hackenberg on your practice squad is really beneficial to the defensive players. You have to stay incredibly alert as you never know when the interception is coming your way.

I'm fairly sure this is incorrect, I think James was in coverage on Hill on the third and 12 late-ish in the game. That or it was a completely blown coverage I guess but it sure looked like Hill just faked like he was going deep and got James to turn his hips before cutting on a deep out.

This play:

e: I should note though that James does look like he's going to be really good.
