Also, I don't think we can beat NO, matter of fact, I don't think any team can beat NO, they are scary good on offense and defense.
They're going to go 16-0? No chance.

Guys, is it just me who has the feeling that If we faced any team in the League right now that'd we'd be able to compete and possibily win the game. We are well coached, with a stout Defense and an offense who so far does not turn the ball over. Bring on the Saints, the Giants, the Colts, the Eagles, the patriots, I honestly feel we can hang and beat anybody right now....! Am I CRAZY? or IS everybody with me!

I love the fact that we are 3-1 but come on dont let the record hide the fact that when we have to play the top teams our O isnt very good we cant ignore that face the line is terrible. Colts, Ravens, Pats, Saints, Philly we cant contend with them yet with this god awful O

As i said before. Our personnel on offense is only good for 2 drives a game. Not going to cut it versus good teams. Only had 2 drives versus the sorry rams and even those drives were less than 50 yards.

I am cautiously optimistic, we are 3-1 and :02 away from 4-0, but the offensive numbers being put up are pretty weak. Hill is averaging about 150 net yards passing and total offense is barely over 200 yards a game. That kind off output will get you killed against a good team. I mean we had what 228 yards of offense against the pathetic Rams? In spite of the great start this can easily end up a 7-9 or 8-8 team if the offense does not improve.
Anyone remember the lackluster Ravens offense that won a Superbowl? I'm not saying we will win the Superbowl this year, just saying you don't need a powerful offense. Just a smart offense.
"On offense, the Ravens' main strength was rushing, led by running backs Jamal Lewis (1,364 yards, 6 rushing touchdowns, 27 receptions, 296 yards) and Priest Holmes (588 yards, 32 receptions, 221 yards). Also, tight end Shannon Sharpe recorded 67 receptions for 810 yards and 5 touchdowns. The offensive line was anchored by tackle Jonathan Ogden, who was named to the Pro Bowl for the 4th consecutive season.
However, the Baltimore offense was mediocre, ranking only 13th in the league in scoring (333 points), 16th in total yards (5,301), and 23rd in passing yards (3,102). The team had a lot of trouble scoring, and at one point they went through five games without making an offensive touchdown (although they managed to win two of those games). But they managed to regroup, as head coach Brian Billick forbade anyone to use the "P-word" (presumably "postseason" or "playoffs") until the team actually played in it. "

While mediocre offenses with great defenses can win Super Bowls our offense would need to improve drastically to be mediocre, we are 28th in total yard average per game our defense is almost in the top five. Our offense doesn't move the ball any better then the Rattay, Dorsey, Smith years. It just doesn't turn the ball over. This team is at best a 9-7 division winner of the NFC worst. It needs more offensive weapons to be a legitimate play-off contender.

Watching the Viking tonight has given me even more faith that our defense can keep us in almost any game.
