This is flimsy coming off such a pitiful performance, but weird things happen frequently in the first several weeks of the season.  Teams aren't who they are or will be later in the season on a regular basis year in and year out.  Pre-season wins and losses and individual performances during it are meaningless and some teams come out of it less prepared and ready than others.  It's a long season and narratives change, streaks both good and bad occur for many "good" teams.  I don't see a lack of talent and I don't see "me first" guys on the roster.  I think pride and talent will eventually overcome, I'm just not sure if it's this week.
