This Sunday Is The First Test For This Defense

Like it or not they HAVE played well on defense and they ARE much more in sync offensively now. The Bears game was weird because a lot of the issue was Zac handcuffing his own offense by not allowing it to go deep. When he did they scored quickly.

The REAL key is whether Zac will get out of the way of his team and let them play - let Burrow be Burrow and so on. The D will overall handle its end and keep the score manageable and if the offense is unshackled we could have ourselves a shootout.

Agreed... I've had very few nice things to say about this team the last few seasons, but they are playing well, and they're winning games. Real wins against real teams. The biggest challenge yet is comin' up Sunday, but we can't ignore the fact that Green Bay got waxed by what appears to be an inferior team this year too.
