Under Rivera, we've traditionally been a slow starting team that did better in the latter part of the year.

We didn't necessarily start slow this season, but I'd be happy to see the trend of our best performances coming late continue.

Hopefully the team can emulate the nearly complete performance they put together last week. Only issue was the OL performance. But that seemed to be an anomaly compared to the rest of the season

Hate to say it, but I don't see us improving.  It normally takes half a season to get the team playing like it is now.  This year is different because they started out that way.

Besides, how do you really improve on 9-0? :)

We didnt have the slow start at least in part due to more continuity and depth. We added pieces but had solid vets at most of the key positions. In the past it always seemed we had new guys on 1year contracts, rookies, and UDFAs who end up starting. It took time to build chemistry and teach folks our highly accountable defense. And we had a crap line and a dearth of WRs not named Benjamin or Smith.

This years defense reminds me of 2005. Both teams had tough physical players who imposed their will on the offense.

People might argue that this year we still had "a dearth of wide receivers not named Benjamin or Smith".

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
