I don't agree that the team is in tank mode.  That would imply there's something intentional happening  here, and for that to be the case, they wouldn't have gone out and invested as heavily as they did in the defense this off season only to see the unit struggle now.  No owner would tolerate that. 

 

I think what people need to recognize is that it's still a very young team, and that there are going to be struggles early as they continue to mature and develop as NFL players.  By the time we get to the bye week and beyond, we'll hopefully be seeing a completely different brand of football.  To say they're tanking at this point is just nonsense.
