Overreaction Monday (10/16/23)

NFL upsets, college games of the year, the ALCS & NLCS are under way, the NHL is back… oh SPORTS ARE SOOOOOO UP right now!

Over Reaction — The NY Jets are legitimately a QB away from being the HEAVY Super Bowl favorites

I mean with a win over the Eagles and a game they quite frankly got screwed in against the Chiefs, the Jets should already be up there. That defense might be the best in the league and gives them a chance to win every game with Zach Wilson. Imagine having a competent QB back there… that jets team would win the Super Bowl if they could consistently score 21+!

Not an Over Reaction — Caleb Williams is WAY too overhyped

Now listen, I still think the kid is good; great even, but let’s stop saying he’s the greatest QB prospect ever! He’s a diva in one of the JOSY QB friendly systems college football has ever had. Look at what happened in a shitty weather South Bend, IN this past weekend. You’re telling me he’s gonna succeed in Chicago??? Yea right, he needs good everything around him, which what QBs don’t if we are being real? I don’t know, that game really has me starting to doubt.

Over Reaction — The NHL Playoff format is good as is

The format itself isn’t bad. The series length is fine. How they decide which teams get in is fine. But FOR THE LOVE OF GOD can we PLEASE seed the qualifying teams 1-8. I’m tired of seeing the 2nd and 3rd best teams in conference play each other in the first round of the playoffs. It benefits NOBODY! It honestly makes the regular season pointless. The Wild have finished 2nd and 4th the past two years and have faced the 3rd and 2nd best teams in the West in the first round. I know it’s happened in the East too so it’s ridiculous at this point.
