Eight Takeaways From Week 1 Of The NFL Season.
For The Writer, Analyst, Blogger, Whatever It Is I Do, The Tagline 1-0, When Encountered, shall Be Approached With Utmost Most, Shrewdness, Equonimity And Contemplation.
1-0 Is Undefeated, But It’s Only A General Sample. You Have Been tested. 1-0 Is parallel In Value To being well 0-0 Or Less Or Tantamount To judging A Relationship Base Off A First Date Or A Free agent Signing In The Summer Activity—sorry Raider Fans. The Broncos, Panthers, And Texans Are 1-0, But They Are Not Better Teams Than Say The. Bears, Vikings, And Packers; At least, For now, I Suppose Not. Time Will Tell. Tape Will Tell. Trends Will Tell. Statuses And Acclaims This Early In The Season Are Formalities. Exercises For The Sake Of Reason And Discussion. All Of This Being True Doesn’t strip Them of Their Relevance because Its Football, And There Is Always Something To unsheathed Week To Week.
1) LAC- Justin Herbert is Quickly Dispelling Any Thought That A Sophomore Slump Could lie In Wait for Him This Season. The Offensive Rookie Of The Year Continues the Build Up Of His Stellar career With A 337 And One Touchdown completing 31 of 47 passes Against Washington. He joined Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes as the only player in the league history with 4,500 yards passing in his first 16 career starts. The Chemistry, Connectivity, And Kinetic energy Withing The Offense Are Palpable. Herbert, Keenan Allen, Mike Willims, Who Is In A Contract Year, And New Comer Jared Cook Have A fluidity With The Offense. They Move in chronicity Like Artistic Swim Performers Controlled By Intertwined Strings. Its Strikingly Reminiscent Of The Philp Rivers, Vicent Jackson, Malcolm Llyod Antonio gates of A Decade Ago. The Only Blemish On Herbert Would Be A Late Interception On A errant Pass, The Result Miscommunication Turnover The Chargers Defense Return To The Offense On A Fumble Recovery, Which Herbert Quickly parlayed Into A Back Shoulder touch Down To Mike Williams. The Chargers Defense Pass Rush especially Looked Robust Against A Inexperienced Washington Offensive.
2) CLE- I Can’t Recall When It Happened. I Believed It Occurred When I Blinked Or Perhaps When I Shifted My focus To Another Game Better Yet It Was When The Hubris Burst Through Fissure Of My Conscience And The Words “I Knew It” Light Up My Mind Like A Motel 6 “Vacancy” Sign. I was Sure The Brown Won Their Week one Match Up With Chief. The Brown Played a Perfect Game For Three Quarter, Then Baker Mayfeild’s Vexing Decision Reared Its Head. He essentially Passed On The Quality Head Start Of A Beautifully Season And AFC Crown Back Into The Hands Of The Chiefs with his interception with just over a minute to go. The Browns Have Lost five straight To Kc, the Last Two Games In Dating Back To last Season’s Playoffs. It tarnished What Was An Otherwise Suburb Perfermocace for Mayfield, who went 21-28 For 321 Yards. The Browns Have Crafted A Competitive Roster On Years Of Losing. There Is Curve In Football That X Amount Of Opportunities Can Sqaunders On The Adjustment Path From Forming A talented Team, Competing On Sundays And Finishing An Outing.
"It was our game the first half, and we left off the gas.”
3)AZ- This Is The Season Kliff Kingsbury Has To Make It work In the desert, And Kyler Murray Appears Prepared To Make The Air Raid Offense The Innovation was Most Expected when Kingsbury was First Hired In 2019. It was A Dizzying, Exhilarating scene Mid 2nd Quarter Against Titans With The Pocket Collaspsng Around Him; The Windows open up Field Shrinking In. Kyler Murray Improv And Dropped And Dime to Rookie Rondale Moore. He Followed This Up With Another Dime To Christian Kirk And Capped The Quarter With A Short Yardage Scamper Td. There Are Still “Limits” To Murray. He’s An Escape Artist In The Vein Of Russel Wilson, But He is Not As Stuky As His Nfc West Rival. Murray Also Tends To Toss Passes Off His Back Foot. This Undisplined Throwing Style has resulted in Polarizing Plays; Like His Third Quarter Passing Touchdown To Christian Kirk and His His Third Quarter Interception. The Cardinals Pass Rush, Lead By Chandler Jones, Tossed The Titans Offensive line Around.
4)WFT- Reports are That The Washington Football Team Has Lost Starter Ryan Fitzpatrick For At least Six weeks With A Hip Sub flexion Injury. The 17-year Vet Was Helped Into The locker Room During The Team’s opening Day, Lost to The Chargers. Fitzpatrick Sudden lost Trusted the fourth Year Man Tyler Heinicke Into The Starting Quarter Back Role On Thursday Night Against NFC East Rival New York Giants, In What Would Turn Out To Be A Down To Wire Win For Washington. Heinicke Took Control In The second Of Opening Day Against The Chargers And Impressed. He Threw the Team's First Touchdown Of the Season And finished The Game 11 of 15 for 122 yards, and it Is Projected Washington's starter is moving forward. In His Third Start Of His Career Heinicke, Thursday Against The Giants, Heinicke didn’t disappoint. He completed 34 of 46 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns. Moreover, He Wish, Especially Aggressive Down Field Force Open Windows And Connecting With Washington’s Surprisingly Robust Arsenal of Receivers, Completions Fitzpatrick No longer Possesses The Arm Strength To Complete. Heinicke Displayed A Mastery Of Scott Turner’s Aggressive Play Scripts And Play calls. And An Remarkable chemistry with wideout Terry McLaurin the Tandem connected on 11 Passes for 107 Yards. Washington’s Heralded Defense Hasn’t Reached The Expectations They were Glided With Ahead. The Secondary Looked Out Classed Trying To Oppose Keenan Allen And Blew assignment Against Giants Wide Receiver Darius Slayton. He Blew A Touchdown opportunity That Could Have Blew The Game Open For The Giants. Washington Is 1-1 And In 2nd Place In The NFC East Behind The Eagles.
5)GB-R-E-L-A-X, Right. The Packers didn’t Look That Bad.
6)CHI- The Count Down To Fields is On And The Debates Rages and Ranges But The Answer Remain Uncertain, “When Is The Optimum Stage In A Career To Start your rookie QB?”. The Bears Were Blasted By The Rams Sunday Night, But This Would have Been The Case Irrespective Of Fields’s Status On the Roster. Whether He took The Snaps Under Center At The Beginning Of The Game Or Running A Few Option Plays For Experiment Sake, Fields’s Presence As A Feature In the “Offense” Is All We’re Guaranteed Of Now. His 5 Play “tease” Produced One Of the Bears Two Touchdowns On The Night. Head Coach Matt Nagy hasn’t Made Indication Of Moving On from Veteran Starter Andy Dalton Despite His “ok-Ish” Play On Sunday Night But His Place On The Team May Not be A Product Of His Play. We’ve seen The Bears Be Successful With A Mostly “Relative” Competent Quarterback Play. As They Were Last Year, And A Decade Ago And The 80s And It Goes on. The Bears Are Going To Have To Manage the indifference towards Dalton And The Excitement Surrounding Fields, which Often Proves To be A “Distraction” Itself With The “Boos” And “Jeers” Lifting. . The General Worrisome issue for The Bear Is The Star-Studded Defense That Only Produced One Sack And Two hits. The Bear’s Running David Montgomery Did Produce 108 yards On A 6.75 yards Per Play. The Bears Welcome Cincy.
7)MIN- Sure, The Vikes Lost To The Bengals in Game Most Expected Minnesota To Win, But The Silver Lining Here Is There Is A Lot To Take Away from The Overtime Defeat. Kirk Cousins Executed Astonishing Poise And Prowess On 49 Pass Attempts For 351 Yards On 50 Plus Drops Back. Both WR Ones Justin Jefferson, Finished With 71 Yards On five targets For An Average of 14.2 Per Catch. Adam Theilen, Who finished With 92 On 9 Catches Ten 10.2 Per Catch Both Finished With A Touchdowns. The Vikings Felt little Deterrence. Moving The Ball, Down felt Little Objection When Moving the Ball Down Field. The Trouble for Minnesota Began OnnThe Offensive Line. The Viking Have Never Constructed A Complete Unit In The Trenches in Some Decades, And The Lost Of Rookie first Round Pick Christian Darrisaw Has Not Helped. The Offensive Line Limited Dalvin Cook’s Impact On The Game And Could Remain A Vexing Issue For the Foreseeable Future.
8)DET-Lion’s Number 7 Overall Pick Penei Sewell Held His Ground Lined Up Opposite 49ers Star Rusher Nick Bosa In Week One. Sewell Was plug In the right Tackle Slot Most of The offseason But was Moved Into Position to protect Matthew Staffords Blind Side. Nick Bosa, One Of The League Elite Pass Rushers Only Entering His Third Season. As A Rookie Bosa recorded 80 total pressures using ten sacks, 18 QB hits, and 52 pressures, I repeat, As A Rookie. Sewell was Overpower Up top, In the test Of Pure Power. Penei Sewell’s First Spell At Left Tackle In Place Of The Injured Taylor Decker. Left Tackle was His Highest Graded Position Coming Out of Oregon. The Mountain Of A Man Held His Footing More time Than Not. Of course, He Got Bull Rush On Occasion An Needed Hedgers To Keep Bosa from utilizing His technical Savvy, But Overall, It was A promising Outing.
