I can see the offense really start to jell over the course of the year and see good things down the road.  All the money and focus has been about an "elite" defense....we got burned a lot and kind of easily.

I'm worried about the whole team. A shadow of 2015. Sad.

This. What is there not to be concerned about after today's game? 

But we are 2-1, the 2015 season is rarity for most teams.  Still worried about the D holding up all season.  I have more confidence in the O simply because of all the adjustment and newness at this point.  That offense is going to tough to deal with in a few weeks once Cam starts to smooth out a bit, they made better investments.    I'm just concerned about that Dfence....something seems off.

With very few exceptions, Sean Payton and Drew Brees have always kicked our D’s ass

lol, you are right and why I wasn't worrying about winning this one.  Everyone is having a fit over rusty Cam.  Not worried one bit, he just finished preseason...seems he and CMC are getting it together...if that dude doesn't get hurt, that offense is going to be potent in a few weeks. Shula actually had some creativity, I like what they are starting to do.

Yep, 2-1 against teams that will likely finish the year with losing records.

Brees kicked the 15 team's ass too.  Kuechly said something along the lines of "drew brees happened" when he was asked what happened to the D.   Of course the O was just good enough to win a shootout that year....so no, not worried about the D.  Perhaps some fans got a little too excited about this D after they played hoyer and Taylor?

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
