The Dreaded "Overreaction" Monday

RG3 propelled Saint's fans to a very over reactive Overreaction Monday.

All across the nation, fans of every team in the league are in a state of "It's our year" ecstasy, or are in a state of "It's all over" despair. No one fan has a level headed view of their team at this point, there just isn't the sample size of game action to go by. As we head into our second week of action, here are five teams on each side of the win-loss column who need to prove the most in week 2.

The "Sky's Falling" Division

Green Bay Packers

Anytime when you threaten to surpass last season's loss total in week 2, there is a general cause for concern among any fan base. I don't really put do or die labels on a week 2 game, but the Packer's game against the Bear's will be a wonderful litmus test for both teams going forward this season. The Packer's run defense should be working double time this week to get ready to defend against Matt Forte and Michael Bush, who ran all over the Colt's defense Sunday.

New York Giants

Of course the sky is falling in New York, it always is. It shouldn't be however, as Thursday's loss was more of Dalla's doing. The Cowboy's came out looking way better than anyone could have predicted. The team will be fine, so long as Victor Cruz can learn how to catch again.

Buffalo Bills

This was the one that really took me by surprise this weekend. The Jet's anemic offense found its supply of iron against the Bill's defense. 100 million dollar man could only complain about whoever was playing RT for the Jet's playing dirty. Instead of whining, you should be finding ways to get through him or around him. The Fred Jackson injury is only going to put more pressure on the already floundering Ryan Fitzpatrick to get it together.

New Orleans Saints

While I don't throughly believe the sky should be falling in New orleans just yet, you can't say you weren't worried by some of the things seen Sunday against the Redskins. In the first half, the Saint's were embarrased by RG3 running a college Run N' Shoot offense. That just can't happen. And with the way they allowed RG3 to run all over unmollested, Saint's fans have to be worried going to Carolina to face Cam Newton.

Philadelphia Eagles

Wait why are they on this side of the column? They won on Sunday, right? Well yeah, but it was by one point...to the Brown's. Who had a QB with a 5.1 passer rating. Hey Andy Reid, if you want to win the NFC East, Mike Vick can't throw it 56 times. I'm also sure LeSean McCoy fantasy owners would try to lynch you if this type of behavior continues. Utilize your all-star offense properly, and you will see the results.

The "Inflated Egos" Division

Detroit Lions

Lions fans have to like a gritty victory. it shows character, right? It shows their QB has stones to bounce back from a putrid performance to win the game. Unfortunately, when it happens against a team you should blow out the water, it loses its meaning. The Lion's need to start fast and wipe out the bottomfeeders on their schedule if people want to take this team seriously this year.

Washington Redskins

Here's the deal on Washington. They stole a game against a reeling team who's defense was just not ready to handle Robert Griffin III. All this should change about your season outlook for this team is a one game improvement, because I don't think anyone had them upsetting the Saint's. Redskin's fans, your heads shouldn't be ballooning, but for the first time in a long time, you should be feeling hope.

Dallas Cowboys

No one doubts that Dallas has a very talented roster. Where Dallas needs to make their mark is showing consistency from week to week. Claiborne and Carr could be the saving grace this team has needed to make the leap to next-level contender. Keep an eye on this Dallas team, they look different from the year end swonners of years past.

San Diego Chargers

This team is another team that should be blowing its opponents away, not squeaking out wins against the Raider's. This team is stacked at WR, and they need to just let River's air it out. They have enough receivers to where River's doesn't need to force it into coverage, on every play they should have someone reasonably enough open to make a good play. Then once Ryan Mathews return's they can transition to complete offense.

San Francisco 49ers

This is the one team that can be rightfully big headed. Repeat after me: I do not want to play the San Francisco 49ers this year. I will loudly cheer if they are not on my team's schedule.

Coming Next: A referendum on the replacement refs on the Spin It! Blog tomorrow. On this blog, you can expect a week 2 preview on Thursday.
