It's fun to see a well rounded team that has not quite yet hit it's stride. As good as it's been eight weeks in? It STILL feels like they're not quite there yet with their full potential.
I am telling you. This team is scary. We're fixing to see 'that" game soon this year and I think that's how they'll play for the remainder of the season. I am thinking they'll start winning games cleanly by 13+ points and everything looks more fluid offensively.
To hell with narratives. We know what we see out there. We know what they're doing snap after snap. We're still underdogs even if we're top dogs in the rankings and division.
I can't disagree with any of what you said. The offense has not even come close to peaking this season. The thing I love most about this team is the culture that Pederson has managed to deliver. They appear to be a close knit group with no signs of pettiness, selfishness or jealousy. Add that to a roster loaded with talented players (Etienne, Campbell, Oluokun, D. Williams, Allen and Engram have made strong cases to be pro-bowlers) and you have the makings of a dangerous team.
Now for the questions about this team. They have yet to beat a very good team since Buffalo was playing terribly when they faced the Jaguars. The true test will come in the difficult schedule they must face after the bye. San Francisco is not the team we saw early in the season, but if Deebo returns and Purdy hasn't lost confidence they are still dangerous. The Bengals and Ravens will be great challenges at home as will the Browns and Texans (they have our number) on the road. If they win 3 of these 5 games, they will likely end up 13-4. That would likely give them 2nd seed in the playoffs with the possibility of overtaking the Chiefs, who have a very remaining schedule also.
I can't remember a season in which so much hope legitimately existed following going into the bye week. Hopefully they'll sign a pass rusher giving them the needed added pressure to put on Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson and Allen come playoff time.

Could be that way in the near future. Wingard was extended in the off season I think for at least another three years. Jenkins is set to hit the market either next year or the following year.
We also have Antonio Johnson in the fold now to consider and there's always next year's draft. I kind of have my eye on Miami's safety at the moment, James Williams. He's another long, rangy type safety. Think he would be a nice pick-up on late day two, early day three potentially to develop.

Combined record of the teams we've beaten if you take away the losses to us is 20-13
Honorable mention to our rookie TE Strange. He had a few really good blocks. Less than honorable mention to Luke Farrell for doing his best Jawaan Taylor impression.

I'm sure he meant touches which includes receptions. He currently has 178 touches through 8 games which puts him on pace for 378 touches for the year not including extra playoff games.
There's a thing called the "curse of 370" which shows over and over again that backs that get 370 touches or more in a given year have a huge drop off in production the following year be it from injury or otherwise. Eric Dickerson was like the only exception to the "rule". I'd like to get ETN on a pace that projects him well under that number. They need to get his touches down to 15 to 17 per game. Maybe that looks like a straight line of games where his touches fall around that target or maybe in some of the less important games (i.e. the matchups against NFC opponents) they intentionally pull his touches back to around 10 for the game and let the other guys put some work in, or hopefully we can get up big early against someone and just give him the rest of the day off.
178*2 is still only 356. where's the extra 22?

Interesting trivia- we were 14-2 in 1999. None of the 14 had a winning record.

He had some good moments yesterday. Hopefully he can keep it up.

It's a 17 game season, not 16. He is averaging 22 touches a game though, you got that part right.

Bull [BLEEP]
I found this part interesting considering how unfair the Squeeler fans and players thought the officiating was.
Quote:Steelers safety Damontae Kazee received two fines of $11,806 each for unnecessary roughness on a pair of plays that happened on the same second quarter drive for Jacksonville. Both plays were unpenalized.
Pittsburgh pass rusher T.J. Watt earned the biggest fine of the game, $16,391, for a hit to the face of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence that was also unpenalized.
Looks like they caught a lot of breaks during the game.
