I hope this holds, but you guys have "trap game" written all over you.
First, we play down to our opponents.
Second, we just blew our loads smoking Baltimore.
I wouldn't really call it a trap game considering some of the games you guys already lost. Hard to call a game against a 3-1 team a "trap game".
Our team has yet to put a complete game together and we've still won. We lead the league in total penalties against us at 38. Lead the league on Offensive penalties which I think it was 32.
The Offensive penalties have constantly put our Offense in a hole over and over again. We led the league in drops going into week 4, but didn't have any drops this past week. I'd assume we're still leading the league in drops because we were so far ahead going into week 4, but I can't say that for sure.
27 new players on the 53 man roster. Entirely new coaching staff on Offense and Defense. Special Teams coach was the only hold over from the old coaching staff. New GM and Front Office. There's been so much turn over on this team in a single off season to see them playing like this, it's great. Long season obviously and it's only been 4 games so far, but our front half of the season is one of the hardest schedules on paper.
Our main concern as fans was just getting through this front half of the season at .500. Back half of the season should be much easier. Again on paper and none of us really expected a 3-1 start with all the staff/roster turn over.
ETN is the only RB who has 120+ rushing yards in 2 games throughout the 4 games this season.
Our Passing Offense has faced 3 of the top 9 Passing Defenses in the league through 4 games.
Panthers #9
Texans #8
49ers #5
Chiefs will be another tough test with the #7 ranked Pass Defense and a good Defense as a whole. Just like the Texans and 49ers.
