They're starting off slower than they need to be and they are a bit inconsistent right now, that will improve with time. Anyone expecting elite greatness was and is crazy, IMO.
If they can fix what has been happening the first half of the last two games - they should be good, but we'll see how long it takes to fix those issues. They need to really get those 2 TEs more actively involved as well... Tamme and Dreesen can move the chains effectively, allowing the others to get open.

When it comes down to it, I don't think the offense is or will be Denver's problem. The defense sucks and that is the problem. Manning was supposed to come in and be able to overcome those deficits, but so far he hasn't really been able to be his old self and the defense is going to remain exposed as a result.
