Every year, without fail, Week 1 teaches us “lessons” that probably won’t have much staying power against the backdrop of an entire season. If I were writing this column after Week 1 of last year, I’d probably have spent four paragraphs on Darren Fells. I’d have called him “Darren Fellskowski.” The heading would’ve been “How I Fells in Love with Darren.” You get the idea.
Recognizing this, I’m going to try and keep things perspective and do my best not to overreact.
