Oh boy... *covers eyes* (NFL 2022 Week 1)

I haven't even gotten around to looking for refball yet.  I decided to sleep in most of the afternoon because Fuck PNAC Day.

I wake up to THIS!!!

If this is any indication of the 2022 NFL season, I think there can only be one word for it:  CARNAGE.

• It appears, once again, as if the Green Bay brass' protection of COVIDIOT MAGA ROGAN-12 has laid yet another massive egg at Minnesota in the opener.  You could be arsed to show up ANY TIME...  Your goal is not to be as big an asshole as your idiot quarterback!
  
• In fact, two of the major late games (KC-ARI the other) were two of only four non-competitive (never within a score in the 4th).
• On the other hand, I think we have our theme for the year if this is any indication.  The Witching Hour, as they call it on NFL Redzone...  CLIFFHANGERS.  Six of them so far!!  Six of the 14 games completed so far finished with a tying or winning score (at least one) in the final 2:00 of regulation or overtime.
• Speaking of overtime...  We had one NFL tie already (IND-HOU), and a second come within an overtime FG at the gun to join it!  (PIT-CIN, which was a double cliffhanger and three missed chances to win it, including each team missing an overtime field goal which would've won!)
• The thoughts of scoring being up due to the enforcement of illegal contact penalties is unfounded.  Only 5 of the first 14 went over, and the average of the first 14 games is about 44 points per game.
• Cleveland wins.
• Cincinnati loses to the Steelers due to five turnovers and several missed field goals.
• Tennessee loses to the team lovingly known as the Sentient Derp (NYG).
• Atlanta blows another two-touchdown lead in the 4th.
• Mac Jones is out, and that probably puts to bed my Super Bowl pick, as Miami wins by multiple touchdowns.  Now watch the Bucs closely...
  
• San Francisco loses to the Bears.
• About the only two expected things were the two most convincing wins of the week other than Minnesota:  Baltimore and Kansas City.
• And then Dallas...  got out of the way.  That was about as big a blowout as 19-3 can be, and I fully forecast a ratings bath.
