That Thanksgiving Game vs the Bills should be a nice one.

Josh Allen is a solid QB, can make difficult throws on the run and has weapons.

Is it me, or do we always seem to end up at Tampa and the ATL in their house at the end of the season?!?

That’s what I’ve been saying. Every year it’s the same rhetoric, “defenses are ahead of offenses. Didn’t seem the case the past few years.

I think there are a few reasons for this. There has been a trend to go toward more of a complex read and react defense in recent years. This concept is still fairly new and hard to master without lots of practice with your teammates. Another factor has been the ever evolving defensive interpretations of the rules making the defensive player's job's harder to master at the most basic level. Another factor has been the advance in offensive play design and calling. The concept of just doing what you do best right of the bat instead of trying to involve your whole playbook earlier on makes the job tougher on the defense.

4 out of 6 away to begin the season. Then an early bye I don’t like it just don’t like it.

Taking in Free Agency and the Draft, We have one of the toughest home schedules of any team in the NFL...

Or maybe Bortles ?? Either Aaron Rodgers will hold out, possibly gone or Jordan Love isn't progressing as quickly as they may have liked.

Green Bay Packers reach one-year deal with veteran QB Blake Bortles, source says.
