We know what the floor of this team is & that should be reassuring. Ceiling is undecided

We know this defense is absolutely elite and will hold many teams to season low scoring totals. Some teams are going to score, its the NFL, some will score a lot. But for the most part, this Defense is freaking great and will hold teams down.

We know the Offense has weapons, a lot of them, but just isn't clicking yet. They will move the ball but have some trouble getting TDs, for now. The QB is competent but not elite and the run game is solid but not special. The Oline is doing well in run blocking but poorly in Pass.

We are in the upper half of the middle of the league because of our defense. We will be in most games up until the end. That is our floor (barring obvious major injuries to key players as always).

IF the Offense starts to click, particularly after Kamara comes back...we are in the upper echelons of the Conference.

I can't wait to see a game where the offense does its job and gives our defense a big arse lead.
I pity the team we face when this D is free to just pin their ears back and wreak havoc. Also be nice to have a stress free game now and then!

We don’t have the depth of talent of SF, PHI, and DAL. Ceiling is probably 4th in the NFC assuming no major injuries to the other contenders.

We’re just too limited by Carr/Carmichael.

We were the best team in the league multiple years and got beaten by inferior teams in the playoffs. That’s why you play the game. We now have a team that can get us there, and once there, anything can happen

Well I mean the obvious that you can see is the Offensive line. In 2 games Carr has been sacked 8 times. They are averaging 101.5 yards on the ground after 2 games which is okay ,but they will need to get better and more consistent. That will cut it early on ,but when everyone gets into mid-season form than it will be much harder to win if the Offensive Line doesn't improve. I think they will be fine and when Kamara comes back the offense will open up. At this point I see a playoff team that should win the division and will be a tough out especially playing at home.
