Can’t help who you play but;

Lamar

Maye

Mahomes

Baker

 

tua x2

fields

mills

dalton

1 armed Rodgers

penix

rattler

 

twice as many bottom tier QBs as top tier 

This is true but other than Maye, our losses are against your bottom tier. That’s one of the very frustrating things.

Currently 6th in points for and twelfth in points against. The only stats that matter imho.

Those are not bad stats either.  On Defense:  I think the points against is in part on the offense due to turnovers.  Clean those up and the points against will improve.  Whether the D to date is judged based on being eighth in yards or twelfth in points - both stats are describing a similar defense.  If the defense can be a top 10 unit in both yards and points -- a true top 10 that passes the eye test -- we may be on to something.  The comments about "which team shows up" being important I think are spot on - we need to be consistent on defense and fix the offensive mistakes and develop a passing philosophy that works given our limitations at WR (more to the backs, more to TEs - especially once Kincaid is back).  Loved seeing Cook and Ty Johnson in the backfield at the same time.  Defense seems to be coming together a bit.

Does anyone remember that San Diego Chargers team that finished both first in total Offense and Defense, but somehow still missed the playoffs at 9-7?

They had the worst special teams in nfl history im pretty sure haha there were so many close games where they gave up a punt return td or had a fg blocked etc
