At least bad Offenses didn't torch them again like the stealers did...

Also points to poor coaching with the poor tackling. This is also a coaching issue, to say it isn't is being ignorant.
Lou is a problem, he had 2 weeks to prepare for a check down stealers Offense and he let them torch us for 44 points.

The thing is we just got done beating two of the worst teams in the NFL. I'm waayyy far away from being sold that Stone and Bell just flipped on the switch and became top tier defenders again. I'm not sold that Jenkins and Jackson are ready to roll as our starting Dline. The only somewhat decent team we've beat is the Cowboys with a backup QB.
It's smoke and mirrors
If we can move the ball on Denver, a good D. And stop their O and win. I might start believing a bit. Right now I'm highly skeptical that this team - besides of course JB, JC, TH, CB, and Trey are that good. Dead cat bounce
Yeah, we will know more Saturday like I said. Denver is a good team and built well in the trenches with a good HC in Sean Payton.
Burrow and this Offense can move the ball on anyone, it will come down to scoring TD's in this game. Will our Defense be able to actually
stop them without relying on turnovers is the biggest question to me. Bo Nix has his confidence and is playing decent right now and Sutton
is a stud WR and they have a couple really good RB's.
