It's easy, and only takes a few moments.One of the fun things about using young players is finding out your team is improving as they improve.A little too early to tell. Chiefs, Jets, and Rams are not exactly top notch (caught a break playing Jet Favre in week 2). Miami and SD laid the wood to you. Cutler was obviously not the same once he smashed his finger on the first play of the game. D-Line is still pretty good though.
Old and slow is 20th against the run, I never would have guessed. 4.4 ypc, just like the Colts. All the while not really facing too many true run threats. LT still has it, but I don't think even a San Diego hater would say he was 100% versus Pats. Jackson out yesterday, Donks #1 back was out as well ( although Pittman(?) did well), Ronnie Brown did have a field day. Gore seems to be having a decent year. Anyway, certainly, you have to be feeling good about 5-2, tied for the lead in the Division, with a team that has skills and can improve with time.you mean, the defense that people have been calling old, and slow? The defense that includes Seymour, the guy people have been saying is done, finished, and overpaid?
That defense is ranked 9th? go figure

SD was playing their SB...
miami introduced the wildcat against us...
i woudlnt take those two games to be too much of a representation either buddy
The excuse for the SD game is BS but having that stupid wildcat thrown at us for the first time is kind of valid. I would have hoped we'd adjusted faster but sometimes sh!t happens. Other than defending the long ball better, our defense has been strong this year; and most of the deep balls we've been in position, we just haven't made the play on the ball. Still, the defense has been good especially considering the number of young players we're finally integrating in.Sure, other than for our losses, we are undefeated.

Our defense is completely bipolar. Half the time it looks shockingly bad, the other time it gets its act together and plays lights out. No consistency at all.
Based on points allowed per game, seeing as how points - not yards, win games.
Kudos to the D.
Unfortunately, per your reckoning, we are only 19th on Offense.Based on points allowed per game, seeing as how points - not yards, win games.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I'm ecstatic too but we're going to find out what this defense is made of this Sunday.
No we won't. There will be a million explanations about the Colts beating themselves if we win. Also, everyone will cite POST game stats about how bad this or that unit of the Colts is.
Even if we win, we lose around this joint.
Well... people with an IQ over 10 will find out what the defense is made of this weekend. That's a better way to say it.
