Overreaction Sunday is here, where media and pundits overreact to the happenings of NFL Week 1 and make sometimes outlandish statements about upcoming games and whole seasons based off of one game. Stop it. We're better than this. We know some teams start slow, others have one bad game, and others play out of their minds for one game. I shouldn't speak for Jay, but I know there isn't one preseason pick I made that I go back on, and he probably feels the same. Now, injuries are a different thing, so Jay's Falcons pick for World champions may be wobbly with two defensive starters dead, but outside of that, you can't put stock into one damn game. We tried to stay calm for our Week 2 picks, where we differed on seven games, not counting Thursday:
