Short passing attack (YAC) and plenty of run plays to keep the game plan conservative. If the team can continue to make lots of first downs and score points on the vast majority of their drives, then I can see the path to a championship.

The defense being this dominant allows the offense the luxury of extreme patience. Micah Parsons is changing games on virtually every defensive snap. If the team gets up by 2 or more scores in the second half, I cannot see any team getting back into the game without injuries to primary starters.

It’s true that there are better opponents on the horizon which will bring the team’s ceiling into better focus, but I think this is this team’s blueprint to winning. Hog the ball, gain a sizable lead, and let the pass rush destroy the other team’s will.

Didn't the Cowboys score on 6 or 7 straight drives? That's crazy against the Jets defense.

The Giants and Jets are headed for 4-13 and 5-12 seasons. So are the Cardinals.

We'll know a ton more after that 49ers-Chargers-Rams-Eagles stretch coming soon.

What's great about the passing attack with short and even intermediate throws is it will open the door wider for some deep ones.

Not against teams that can rush four and get to the QB like us, the 49ers, and the Eagles.

You could add the Jets to that as well if they could maintain the ball on offense at all.

If Rodgers played yesterday, that would have been a battle.

5 drives, not including the end of half kneel down with 4 seconds on the clock. Scored on 7 of 10 real drives. Aubrey did well.

97% of teams win when they score more than the other team

Have you seen their schedules? The Giants or Jets won't be that bad. How will we know more about the damn Chargers? They're 0-2. They haven't even won a game yet lol.
