I hate Week 1.

That is all.

"Welcome back to NFL Kickoff for the second half!"

"Uh, Melissa? Ya got anything?"

Rotoworld blurb writers are vicious towards Barkley..in both his and Danny Dimes little commentary, they write that 'very catchall ball bounced off Barkley's hands and into the waiting arms of a defense'

In neither one do they mention that he got absolutely lit up by the other defender at exactly the same instant the ball touched his hands, and then it bounced into the waiting arms of a second defender. I don't know any receiver, let alone a RB, who makes that catch.

And once again, I'm not the biggest fan of Barkley's..or the Gmen in general. But that some BS 'journalism'

raining the entire game too, Barkley wasn't the only one having trouble handling the ball, Dallas D could've easily had at least one or two more INTs

Lie #1
The Denver Post’s Parker Gabriel reports Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin “looks set to be counted on right from the start.”

Lie #2
DenverSports.com’s Andrew Mason reports Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin “is going to get significant carries” in Week 1.

Fact
1 target; 1 reception; -7 yards; zero points

maybe they both thought that Denver would lose by multiple scores so they'd need to rely on their backups right from the start

The bigger lie was the Bears offense improving. Glad I have zero stock in any Bears players in my redraft leagues.

Additional fact-

They didn't use him, and they lost. Always a good sign for potential changes. Had they won, I'd be much more upset about the apparent lies

Well, I was merely lamenting all the hype that goes into preseason by pointing out 2 instances. Speculations galore!

Even before the Bears-Packers game, Fox was making 3-year QB comparisons of Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Justin Fields.

Granted, I know it's only week 1, and there were a tremendous amount of fantasy anomalies yesterday.

Of fer sure, always is.

A plus to that though, taking advantage of the overreaction to those anomalies in week 2

I’m hoping it was the Packers DL being dominant. Likely somewhere in the middle

Were you up 30 with only the Cowboys defense as your opposition? lol

Ha, no, but I did have some pretty heavy investments in Seattle players and Seattle D.

Yikes.

Not taking anything away from the Packers. They were more prepared than the Bears.
But the Bears had the league's worst scoring offense and the league's worst defense last year.
Bears have a ton of ground to gain just to be considered league average.

D.J. Moore only targeted twice (he caught them both)?

What's up with that?

Im surprised the defense got pushed around that easily. They invested a lot of money

Only three passes had 10+ air yards. Combination of poor gameplan and the OL getting whipped

Two words....Justin Fields

Even the biggest Rams fan wouldn't have projected these stats for yesterday's game:

Tutu Atwell: 6-119
Puka Nacua: 10-119
Kyren Williams: 2 rushing TDs
