Chris Myers, Greg Jennings, Brock Huard, & Jen Hale calling the game for FOX. They'll also have the Packers in Week 2.

1 CHIEFS The offense will roll again, so it's about the defense. There are concerns about the corners, which could be a problem. -- 0-0-0
2 PACKERS Aaron Rodgers will be so much better in his second year in Matt LaFleur's system. The biggest issue is how much they can improve stopping the run. 0-0-0
3 SAINTS They have one more run left in them with Drew Brees probably walking away after the season. Can they get past the three-straight brutal playoff losses? -- 0-0-0
4 49ERS Getting back to the Super Bowl after losing it is a big challenge. Kyle Shanahan has the makeup to get it done, but it won't be easy. Their season will be all about the growth of Jimmy Garoppolo. -- 0-0-0
5 STEELERS With Ben Roethlisberger back and a top-three defense, they will win the AFC North and push for a Super Bowl. Mike Tomlin will get this team back on track after an injury-plagued 2019. 0-0-0

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Re: Week 1 Leadup: @Vikings
The Packers still have an open roster spot. Is Snacks just waiting to see whether the season lasts? Or does he have a city in mind that he wants to play in? Is he waiting to sign closer to the playoffs when it's clearer who's a contender? He'd be a good addition.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Re: Week 1 Leadup: @Vikings
It feels crazy that not even a week after the Bucks bow out we're getting Week 1 Packers.

I'm sure Jennings will keep busy with some backhanded shots at Rogers throughout the games. I'm planning on watching on muted TV and catching the audio via radio.

I'll come around, but I've never felt so indifferent about a season.

Re: Week 1 Leadup: @Vikings
So since Mack is on the practice squad, that means there's still an open spot on the 53, right? I think contracts become non-guaranteed after Week 1, so maybe Snacks fills that last spot next week?

What's with this circle on the back of the jersey/pads?

Probably some kind of contact tracing tech.
