I wouldn't shift it by more than a game in the good direction, because this whole thing could crumble rapidly with the wrong injury or two.

Great to feel confident that we'll compete in damn near every game though.

The QB is real, the coaches are real, the defensive talent is real, the weekly prep/scheme/game-plan/execution is real.
Things are looking up.

this right here.

It's so nice not to default immediately to "how bad we gonna lose by" when we're not facing the cellar of the league. The coaches have the team prepared and confident, and they are executing in near perfect fashion the past two weeks. Neither win was a fluke, or lucky twist of fate, they were both systematic dissections of formidable opponents.

I'm not shifting expectation, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the show. It's a good one.

Cam Robinson and Jawan Taylor with another text book game.

Robinson and Taylor gave up 0 sacks against Khalil Mack and limited time Joey Bosa.

...was I the only one that freaked early when Taylor jumped? Ended up a neutral zone infraction on the D, but all I saw was a stationary line and Taylor 3 yards downfield, and expected this to be the beginning of a long day.

He's probably the most pleasant surprise of the season thus far.
