That's just it. They haven't been ok. They've gotten away with poor play because the front 7 is playing so well against the pass, and because the opposing QBs have been a collection of stiffs that couldn't exploit the poor CB play.
The question is, who will take advantage of it with QB play down in the league? I'd argue Big Ben/Luck/Bortles/Taylor are a better crop of QBs most teams have faced. The Packers WRs can barely get open without Nelson. That offense isn't elite anymore.
The composite QBR of the QBs we've faced is still in the 90s. There just aren't many great QBs with Brees/Manning in decline.
The Steelers worry me offensively. That's about it. Fitztragic and Luck threw 0 picks and we still won both games. Doubt that happens again.
