That's right, the Saints. The same Saints that were in the bottom 20% of the league last year. The same Saints that I spent the season talking about how far they had fallen from grace. Those Saints. Sure, they probably made some moves in the off season that might have made them better, but the Lions should have as well right? I have a feeling it is going to be a long season as a Lions fan. If they don't get their stuff together I am likely going to have even less hair than I do now by the time the playoffs roll around. It's a sad sad joke. Really, the only reason they won is because they got lucky as New Orleans decided to go for two points in overtime instead of kicking the ball. 31 to 30 was the final score in the Lions favor, but again, there is nothing to be happy or proud of there. The Seahawks beat the Patriots 13 to 10, The 49ers beat the Rams over in Australia 27 to 7, and the Bengals beat the Buccaneers 33 to 27. If you are a Bucs fan, trust me, I sympathize. Right around the same time the Lions were looking like they might be building something great, Tampa Bay was doing the same thing. Now it seems they have both fallen after a short lackluster run. The Jets are starting things off in a positive direction with a win over Tennessee 23 to 10. Could it be all that time at the bottom finally allowed them to build something good? Ravens beat the Colts 41 to 23, Steelers took down the Falcons 20 to 13, and The Bears destroyed the Panthers 59 to 37. Oddly enough, that score from the Bears game is eerily reminiscent of past Lions scores. Tons of offense, but not much defense. It ends up becoming a game of who can score more points, and all it takes is some good plays by the opposing defense to shut you down. They need to be careful (unless they are playing the Lions). Jaguars beat the Browns 34 to 10, The Bills stopped the Texans 36 to 31, and the Raiders had a rare win against the Dolphins 27 to 13. The Vikings had a big comeback win over the Packers 39 to 22, Cardinals beat the Chargers 26 to 14, and The Giants beat the Cowboys 28 to 20. Finally, last night we had Denver visiting Kansas City to face the Chiefs. They ended up losing 31 to 10 which is a bummer because the Broncos have always been my back up team after the Lions. Plus, I hate the Chiefs. So there you go, week 1 is in the books and as I said in the title, right now it looks like it is going to be a looooong season. I better go buy some more beer! ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
