We have what is said to be a tough 3 weeks ahead of us, if we continue putting the numbers up currently we will be far better than any of the teams that our competition has faced so far. And to think we're supposed to be even better, we're supposed to be worlds better, and these so called dominate defenses have only proven themselves against below average teams. Out of the teams our upcoming competition have played only 3/12 teams averaged more than 200 yards a game only 3/12 teams have a completion percentage above 60%, only 2/12 have a QB rating above 80. Only 1 team had all three categories, we're off by just 1 point in QB rate. .8 to be exact.
Ravens= Week 1 Bengals 161.2 yards a game 27th, 58.5% comp, and 63.7 QB rate
Week 2 Browns 123.8 yards a game 32nd , 49.6% comp, and 49.9 QB rate
Week 3 Steelers 177.4 yards a game 22nd , 61.5% comp, and 92.4 QB rate
Week 4 Titans 167.4 yards a game 24th, 55.5% comp, and 68.7 QB rate
Packers= Week 1 Vikings 190.6 yards a game 20th, 54.8% comp, and 73.3 QB rate
Week 2 Lions 190.8 yards a game 19th, 56.1% comp, and 64.6 QB rate
*Week 3 Cowboys 268.6 yards a game 4th, 63.8% comp, and 99.9 QB rate*
Week 4 Bucs 215.4 yards a game 12th, 59% comp, and 67.5 QB rate
Week 5 Falcons 164.2 yards a game 25th, 54.2% comp, and 75.3 QB rate
Titans= Week 1 Jaguars 175.8 yards a game 23rd, 65.1% comp, and 79.3 QB rate
Week 2 Bengals 161.2 yards a game 27th, 58.5% comp, and 63.7QB rate
Week 3 Texans 218 yards a game 11th, 64.3% comp, and 77.3 QB rate
Week 4 Vikings 190.6 yards a game 20th, 54.8% comp, and 73.3 QB rate
Week 5 Ravens 136 yards a game 31st, 58.5% comp, and 61.9 QB rate
Colts meanwhile are averaging 245.5 yards a game 7th, 62.3% comp, and 79.2 QB rate. Some may say we did this against less talented D's, but this is Peyton Manning we're talking about, who has been proven to be far better than these other QB's. The only two with names to be talked about on the pro level based on they're play as a pro so far is Romo who has had 8 straight games with at least one interception thrown, and Big Ben has been sacked 19 times this season 2nd most.
The Cowboys aside not a single team is even close to having the pass attack we are currently having with the Colts. Not to mention we're not playing well, we're said to be not in sync and are supposed to get better. Yes these teams have played well so far, but the Packers are the only ones that have played a real pass attack, and they're ranked 13th overall against the pass. Based on all this you can't help, but say these teams haven't done anything against true competition yet.

Wait, are you saying the lowly Lions are actually averaging more yards per game than the 5-0 (overrated IMHO) Titans? It may take a little while longer, but I think we’ll be fine.

Titans winning on defense
what this shows is the titans are winning on defensive play against teams that don’t have winning records. They are playing a 3rd place schedule since that is where they finished in the division…
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

That where you place scheduling stuff
Only accounts for 2 games a year, most of the fixtures a team plays are decided way in advance

Not winning records
It’s not a matter of the records, which I said nothing about, it’s about the fact they have played good D, against teams that haven’t been successful against any teams. The Ravens, Packers, and Titans have only played a single team in the top ten, in passing, and only 3 in the top 15 in passing. That’s practically half the league. What kind of accomplishment is it to be dominate against the lower half of the league?
What I want to know even more is what happens when they play a good passing team? The Packers for instance played the Cowboys and lost, and the Falcons had a good game passing the ball this past weekend when they defeated them as well. Then the Ravens lost to the best passing attack they faced the Steelers, and it was a 4th quarter drive led by a passing attack that allowed the Titans to get a win. Then the Titans themselves who have only played teams with an average of 22nd in the league in passing.
Listen all I’m saying is even right now the Colts have a passing attack that is better than all but one of the teams that these three have played, and were supposed to get better. Scary since we’re already 7th in the league. I said it before, with this being known, makes me much more comfortable going ahead.
