Week 1 of the 2015 NFL season is in the books, which means it's time to roll out this year's wave of sweeping conclusions off of season openers around the league. The Colts are in trouble, while the Bills cannot be stopped. The twilight of Peyton Manning's career is coming on more quickly than expected. Chip Kelly's system has been figured out. Adrian Peterson is washed up. The Raiders and Buccaneers are the two worst teams in the league—OK, that last one might have some legs to it. On this week's Audibles Podcast, John DePetro, Chris Burke and Doug Farrar sift through the week's biggest storylines and determine which overreactions carry the most merit before taking to Twitter to answer mailbag questions from listeners.
