It’s being widely discussed with our two dominating offensive performances against two of our division rivals that we are one of the best teams in the league at this point.
How good are we? And can we really measure up with the opponents we’ve faced?
Are we as good or better than the 2-0 Rams? The 2-0 Packers, Seahawks or 49ers right now in NFC?
How about the 2-0 Patriots, Chiefs or Ravens?
I’d suggest we tone down the rhetoric until we beat someone with a winning record. We’re off to a good start. It’s been fun but I’d be careful becoming too full of ourselves just yet.
This is where I think we are:
We are a top 5 team, that has better depth and more talent than just about any team in the league. We have beaten bad opponents handily, as we should have, without any real opposition.
Our defense has more talent than it has shown so far. The parts are more than the sum total right now. That’s encouraging in that if the defense comes together this team will be even better than it is now.
This team is a super bowl contender if we stay healthy and get things lined out on defense.
I am concerned about 3 things detaining it and they are, in the following order:
1. Defensive coaching is sub par. It could derail the season at some point.
2. DL can’t get pressure on the QB. DT talent and depth is lacking.
3. We are a bit thin at safety. Heath is good enough. Woods is a bit over hyped so far. We are thin beyond that.
