It was pretty good, but they really went over the top to get people hating Jeff Daniel's character. Following the college "speech," it wasn't difficult to hate him after 5 minutes, but they kept pushing the issue for about another 30....

.... we get it, he's an a**hole, now can we move on and try to learn something about the other characters while continuing to drive the plot line? or will this be a new story every week?

Good 1st ep. Wasn't going to watch it but gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised.

The college scene was done fantasticly well and was the perfect way to make ppl like myself, who were pessimistic about watching it, to do so.

Interesting that they chose Katrina as the opening storyline and I'm wondering if this will be the main news story or if there will be others this season.

Given the foreshadowing, it seems that the show will have inhouse romance/tension between the main characters for better or worse, well see.

Anyways, this show is a bit different from what I usually watch, but I'm thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the season.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
