My guess is that offenses are basically what they're going to be by then or even get figured out over time... but, even if they do improve, that's a huge jump statistically after 8 weeks (again, depending on the exact stat).

Phillip Rivers last season? Interception machine. Point: Any QB can sling it down the field all the time and put up lots of yards. Doing it with very few turnovers is restricted to a relatively small elite class of QB. You don't have one. But he does get the job done.

I care about scoring points when needed and about the overwhelming evidence that great defenses still have to rely on their offense to at least occasionally put up 30+ points when they're going toe to toe with the best offenses in the league.

You're right. We've been over this before. Divisional playoff game against the Saints. The Catch III. Occasionally.

Warner with the Cards? Gannon with Raiders? Is it time to gel or is that Alice isn't a good QB? |

We are at a point where the question to ask is "Can our defense stop the top offenses?" Because that is the key question. If the answer to it is "Yes", then our offensive production COULD be sufficient for long term success. If the answer to that question is "No", we are in trouble. Can our defense hold Denver under 45 points or whatever the **** they are scoring a game? Yeah, I think we can. But, can our defense keep them in the 14-24 point range? |

I don't watch it, but the Pro Bowl must be horribly boring without all the gelling that is needed for an offense to work.

Denver twice, Indy, at least one playoff game, maybe the Chargers or Redskins... no reason to keep saying he's capable of having a good game (when no one has been arguing that) when he'll surely have a couple of chances to prove himself in the 2nd half of the season.
