I think the defensive stats are probably a more true reflection than the offensive stats.  We've been coming from behind almost every game and the offensive gameplan is out the window quickly.  Saying that I'm not sure the offense is a juggernaut either.  Minshew has been a solid QB but hasnt shown anything to make him elite.  And we seem to have pretty solid skill players on offense but not sure we have anyone elite there either.  It's a solid offense that at times looks really good but is inconsistent.  The question that obviously needs to be answered is will Minshew get better as the year goes on or has he already peaked.  It's easy to say the 6'0 guy without a strong arm has already peaked because odds are that is likely the case.  But sometimes QB have something extra.  Minshew seems like the kind of guy that could.  We'll find out.  

The defense on the otherhand has been awful.  Not sure if those stats you are looking at are yards or points per game.  Points per game is misleading because of some of those stops deep in our territory.  We just cant stop anyone.  And we don't seem to be physical up front.  Sure the talent may be lacking but they just look soft.  Where is the attitude?  I think the talent is better than the results.
