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?

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
