The only point totals that matter are the ones at the end of a game.
In 2003, we started off hot but got manhandled in game five by the Titans. People said that 'exposed us', but it just turned out to be a bump in the road. Individual games can be different than the overall narrative.
Of course, to be clear, my view of this season's overall narrative doesn't have us in the playoffs or ending as an upper echelon team.
Steps in the right direction perhaps, but we're still not that good...
