Two games in…. Is this a playoff team?

Pump the brakes. It’s way too early for that talk.

We have a big time statistician here...

I’m just saying…I spent a lot of time making a thread with these stats looking at the biggest common denominators for super bowl contenders since the Panthers existed. Nothing ranked more in common than a top oline except a top defense. Not even Qb play (which was 3rd).

The defense is there this year, albeit only 2 games in (last year it was not), The oline is…pretty far off. If Darnold continues on this route, the only thing holding this team back is that god forsaken oline.

If we can sweep the Falcons then I think so

Let's cool the jets a little bit lol. Way too early to tell. Remember when Kyle Allen went 4-0 in his first four games? That didn't turn out too well.

This. I feel like this young team is bound to hit a wall at some point and have to battle through some mental adversity. I think they could be a very decent team and potentially wild card but I don't think we are quite ready for a deep run into the playoffs yet. Seems like we are getting the pieces together though which is positive news! I guess Rhule or new GM guy definitely knows how to build a defense!
