Ain't no overreaction like a Week 1 overreaction, cuz a Week 1 overreaction packs a whole offseason's worth of irrational panic or exuberance.

I think that's how the song went, but I don't remember, and I'm not looking it up because this column isn't about research. It's about reaction. A specific kind of reaction. OVER-reaction.

Oh yes, that's right. It's Overreaction Monday. Week 1 style. Which is especially nutty.

See, the problem with Week 1 is that it carries with it so many of your hopes and dreams. Your team hasn't played a real game in as many as eight months. You've sat through coaching searches, the combine, free agency, the draft, OTAs, minicamps, training camps and the abhorrent sporting blight that is preseason NFL games. You've imagined what your team would look like. If it doesn't look that way, or if this game's problems look like last year's problems, you're going to worry your worst fears are coming true. That's how small sample size gets ya.

Conversely, if your team looks fantastic in Week 1, it's tempting to strut into work Monday morning in your Flacco/Peterson/Mahomes jersey and spend your morning online booking flights and hotels for the first week in February.

We're here for you.

Presenting five ridiculously declarative, Sunday-based statements that might or might not be overreactions -- complete with which we think they are:

James Conner can do everything Le'Veon Bell can do while Bell is out.

The Steelers said they would give Conner the same reps they always give Bell, and doggone if they didn't do just that: 135 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus five catches for 57 yards? That reads like a Le'Veon line right there.
