What are your NFL WK 1 Overreactions?

[Couch-Potato]

Curious what your overreactions are to players and teams after wk1?

I'll start...

1. Chiefs are going to be deadly and Worthy finishes as the #1 rookie WR.

2. Chase gets paid, Bengals miss the playoffs.

3. Tampa wins their division.

4. Achane finishes as a top 3 RB.

5. Rodgers has a mediocre year.

What the **** are they doing? Fire everybody but the HC?

[Buehler445]

Hot takes:

1. Colts win the south, Richardson is the next name everybody want to dethrone Mahomes.

2. Archane gets hurt. O/U week 6.

3. Miami wins 8 games and misses the playoffs. They were a ****ing horror show. And what the **** Jags? Jesus.

4. Detroit Rams was the NFCCG preview.

5. Rodgers is so toxic the whole ****ing thing burns. I didn’t watch the game but I’m damn interested to see the highlights.

6. Russell Wilson never plays another game.

7. NFL sues Watson for bad faith negotiations.

8. Antonio Pierce tries to fight Mahomes and gets excommunicated from the league.

Here’s my dumbass one that definitely won’t happen.

Nobody watches the Saints. But Carr detonates the jackasses in the South because my GOD they’re terrible. Does just enough in other games to stay relevant, Carr is runner up for MVP.

Richardson looked flashy. Is there a reason to think he will stay healthy?

I'm not sold on rams and 49ers looked pretty good. I guess if rams get their OL back and WR back and QB stays healthy, but I'm not seeing it.

I thought Rodgers had checked out of football. Yes, I thought it was conceivable he could bring it, but rather unlikely. Jets D did not impress.

Browns are going to have to bench Watson.

[scho63]

1. Dallas Cowboys will finally make it back to the Super Bowl after 29 years.

2. Patriots will make the playoffs

3. Bills will be best team in AFC

4. Lamar Jackson will finish the season with over 1,250 yards rushing

5. Tua and Tyreek will be NFLs co-MVPs

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Burrow underwhelms and Bengals miss the playoffs.

Miami wins the AFCE.

Chargers go to the playoffs.

Bills win no more than 9 and closer to 6.

I don't think the Ravens make the playoffs. Most teams can just force Lamar to throw to his sub-mid WR's and profit. Spy him, blitz him, and let him dump off 15 times to the HB if he wants.

I don’t understand why Lamar is getting trashed. He put up 400 yds on KC. Don’t we think the Chiefs’ defense is good? Disrespecting him is disrespecting the Chiefs.

Setting aside the numbers, I thought he looked better than ever. He dropped 15 lbs and is even faster and more elusive than before. And he made some great throws and made plays in the clutch.

He gave everything he had and Pat kind of took it easy lulz

[gordonelloyd]

We will face the ravens again in the championship game.

The bills and chargers will exceeded expectations and both make the playoffs.

The NFC will be a tight race with difficulty predicting.
It will be the Cowboys. No. They always collapse.
It will be the 49ers. They did look awesome.
It will be Detroit. Great first game especially how they ran it down LA throat in OT.
It will be the Eagles as Barkley gives them even a better set of weapons than SF

I think it will be the 49ers that we beat again in the Super Bowl

[chiefzilla1501]

NFL offense will bounce back in a big way in a few weeks and most of the offense drought is due to teams bizarre lack of preseason game reps for offense starters

It’s the angel reese effect. Lamar is an excellent qb but people need to stop putting him into the discussion with greatness

I’ve said the same thing for josh Allen. That dude would be considered a big time winner if he played in the afc. His fatal flaw is he, like everyone else, can’t beat mahomes. The distinction is that Allen has a track record of postseason success where Lamar doesn’t really

[Fishpicker]

woohoo! the Chiefs are a running team again!

The South won't be a good conference, but it should be a fun one.

The Bucs, Falcons and Saints are all equally mediocre and all in slightly different ways.

Even the Panthers are laughably terrible in their own right - that has some entertainment value.

I think Doug Pederson may not last the season. I like Dougey P but that kind of performance was just completely unacceptable. You can't have that in week 1.

I don't know what they're going to do to fix Lawrence and get him to the next level, but it needs to happen quickly. He's just going to fade away into mediocrity at this point. He's started 51 NFL games now and near as I can tell, he just hasn't improved any.

Watch Mahomes games from 2018 and you can see that he just got better every week. The games he played in 2018 look nothing like the way he was playing in 2020. Statistically he declined but he was obviously a better player. With Lawrence he just looks like the same guy he looked like as a rookie. If not now....when? Lawrence has to start showing some progress.

Oh I like this take. Belichick takes over the Jags mid season, gets them squared away next year.

I thought Atlanta would be ok by being “above mediocre.” I saw some of the ATL game and I don’t think cousins is close to 100%. Maybe a hot take is that we see penix sooner than later.

For amusement, I like this idea. Not that I have anything against Cousins, but it would just be pretty funny if ATL benched him this quickly.

Not gonna happen though. ATL plays PHI, KC, NOR, and TB next. No chance they throw their shiny new rookie QB to the wolves like that.
