The secondary has looked very good indeed. However, we will indeed know much more about ourselves after playing our first games with Indy and NO.

Why? Win or lose, we'll have gems such as these...

"Where is the pass rush?!/Where is A.D.?!"
"Fire Dean Pees now"
"Fire Bill O'Brien now"
"BB has lost it"

This is why losses, IMO, make the forum so much more interesting to be in. It's almost fun pissing away some free time by blasting idiots such as the ones that would post threads like the ones mentioned above.

We've played 2 very good passing offenses and the Broncos who are no walk in the park with Marshall/Royal so it's not like we haven't faced anybody.

The pass D is very much improved. Forget the #'s just watch some of the one on one plays our corners have made. Perhaps our best secondary since '03.

You can only beat who you've played. To say the passing defense hasn't improved immensely over the offseason is a stretch. Orton is playing some very good ball and it's not like Sanchez exactly tore us apart.

We've been given a chance to win every game we've been in. This next stretch is going to be interesting.

I'm pretty sure if we beat the Colts every thread on the forum will be related to how we're going to win the Super Bowl.

The difference between playing the Bucs and playing the Colts is that against the Bucs it's naive to just look at the final score and be happy, since beating them is hardly an achievement; against an elite team like the Colts all that matters is the W.

That's why I'm confused why so many of you are getting all huffy at any post that doesn't involve how great the team looked today. You think Belichick has that attitude in the locker room?

I will say that the anchor has been meriweather hands down.....I know it may be premature to say this but he is looking like polamalu more and more.....He is a ball hawk and will come up and knock your jock off....This guy is going to be really good in years to come for us in the secondary.....Butler is looking solid and must have some confidence from the coaching staff because they are putting him out there one on one coverage quite a bit.....This secondary if they can keep them all together I believe will be stellar in 2 years after working with each other....As of right now they are a lot better than past seasons.....

Well, the right stat to look at is Points per Game, since we've played seven games and others have played six. We rank third by that measure, behind Denver and Indy.

In Total Yards allowed per Game, we rank sixth (behind NYG, Denver, GB, Philly and Carolina)

In Passing Yards allowed per Game, we rank fifth (behind Carolina, NYG, Washington and GB)

In Rushing Yards allowed per Game, we rank 17th.

I'm not sure people appreciate how ridiculous the Saints (and Colts) offense has been.

like the Pats in 2007, even good defenses can't stop those teams. holding them to 21 would be a victory for our or any defense.

Meriweather is no doubt the anchor back there and he is playing some really nice ball right now as someone predicted in TC he might make a push for the pro bowl
