NFL Overreactions: Who’s Good & Who’s Not?
Through two weeks of the NFL season, Green Bay Packers fans are already on a rollercoaster. After one game, the defense was better and the Pack was 1-0. After two games, the defense was back to not-so-good, and the Pack fell to 1-1. In other words — We don’t know a whole lot about the…… MORE
