Showing games from above and behind like Amazon’s prime vision stream, is clearly superior and should’ve become the standard as soon as widescreen TVs started becoming standard. Unfortunately amazon is shitting the bed for me and I’m getting the lowest quality (which looks like 360p maybe) 75% of the time. It’s definitely not on my end. ---

It’s comforting that the Chargers still know how to Charger once in a while. Herbert was bad, but nobody (besides Ladd) gave him much help. ---

Well this is disappointing. High stakes PIT/BAL games have always been good. ---

Until tonight. The Ravens looked like a championship team. And Russell Wilson looked old. But he did have a couple of nice throws. He can’t rely on his legs like he used to. That Texans-Chargers game was a bit of a crazy affair. And I’m not a fan of Amazon’s red orb. That just seemed stupid. 3 games tomorrow (U = Pacific time zone) 1000U: 7 Den Broncos @ 2 Buf Bills 1330U: 7 GB Packers @ 2 Phi Eagles 1630U: 6 Was Commanders @ 3 TB Buccaneers ---

An interesting stat from the Texans game: on their touchdown drive at the end of the first half, Stroud passed for 101 yards. Not a common occurrence on a 100 yard field. ---

Bills look very solid-but the Ravens also look loaded as well. ---

I do like to see Sean Payton lose. Especially so when it’s in large part due to a lackluster offense. And even more so when the defense seemingly lied down after the incompetence of the offense. ---

A general comment not inspired by any particular play: Assisted review as currently done is crap. Either review everything that might even be close or go back twenty years to when the only reviews came from the coach’s challenge. ---

Jordan. Jordan Love. Helluva interception by Slay. ---

Packers killiing themselves. Its a good thing they’re only down10 points. ---

I’d guess that next week’s dates and times will be announced immediately after tomorrow night’s game. ---

My concern is that the Bills and Ravens are both so physical that they’re just going to wreck each other up and that the victor, no matter who it is, will be easy wounded pickings for the Chiefs. ---

Depressing. The Packers didn’t even give themselves a chance to win. It’s great that their one of the youngest teams in the NFL, and the future looks bright, but that was an embarrassment as they kept shooting themselves in the foot at the worst times. The future does look bright, but I’m getting frustrated with Love’s inaccuracy and inconsistency and the lack of discipline in big games. Congrats Eagles and their fans. Good Luck with the rest of the year. ---

Having reasons doesn’t get you much sympathy or a moral victory but things were not going well for GB starting with the game’s opening kickoff. “It didn’t help that Love finished the game without his top three receivers. After Watson was lost to a torn ACL in the regular-season finale, Doubs (evaluated for a concussion) and [Jayden Reed](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4362249/jayden-reed) (shoulder) dropped out in the second half. Love was 6-for-6 targeting Reed and Doubs before they left with their injuries” they lost former Pro Bowl left guard [Elgton Jenkins](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3115485/elgton-jenkins) to a shoulder injury/stinger in the first half. First, they tried rookie sixth-round pick [Travis Glover](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4361904/travis-glover), who had played only 13 snaps all season. Glover lasted only 20 snaps and was pulled after three penalties – two holds and an ineligible downfield infraction. [Kadeem Telfort](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4240615/kadeem-telfort) replaced him at the two-minute warning of the first half and was called for a holding penalty in the third quarter."
