Nobody's talking about the record setting offensive output in week 1...

[BonafideDefacto]

First off I understand, its week 1, 1 week, yes. But last week was crazy. I didn't really take notice until I went on my fantasy league to recap the 1st weeks results. Every team minus 1 in my 14 team league i commish scored over 100 pts. In the 4 years of our league its rare for half the teams to even break 100. Then I payed close attention to the scores and sought what records were broken

• 791 pts were scored. A record for week 1 and 2nd all-time
• 49.4 pts averaged per game, a record. I wish I could go back and take overs on the parley cards
• Nine quarterbacks threw for at least 300 yards, and that's not even including Carson Palmer (297 yards), Joe Flacco (299) and Matt Ryan (299) who came close.
• This is also with the lowest average age for starting QBs in league history

With the high offensive output. My question to you my Coli brehs is; Is this a sign of things to come? Has the league gone too far with creating rules to favor offense? Is it a conspiracy to get more people to watch higher ratings?

It's a sign of continuation from last season.

They need to go back to letting DBs put dem paws on WRs again. This shyt is becoming glorified arena league.

 

[L&HH]

yup, add the fact that these replacement refs call PI on damn near every pass play that isnt a catch. I aint complaining cause my skins got one that possibly won us the game

 

[Absolut]

i think only 8 of the 16 games went over, despite the pile of points

 

[Maschine_Man]

maybe it has something to do with all the turnovers.
cuz there was something like 9 qb's with MULTIPLE int's even a few with 4
plus add in all the fumbles and I don't remember a season starting off this sloppy.

I mean...this is becoming the passing league the NFL has so desperately wanted, right before our eyes
