Well??
Looking "this good" ?? We could have easily lost that game and barely had 100 yards at halftime. The Rogers INT came on a play that was pass interference on Leigh Torrence and not called, and they had an easy TD called back on a delay of game that was called with 1 second remaining on the playclock.
We beat two very, very mediocre defenses by a narrow margin in our house. I like 2-1, but I'm far from thrilled.

I know this -- when they go to Dallas next week, the offense can't fall into a mid-afternoon slumber for a quarter and a half the way they did today. Just imagine what the point total would have been if the intensity level stayed the same throughout the first half?
I think this offense has incredible potential -- it's shaping up to be more than we ever saw during Gibbs II. They seem to be learning this system at an accelerated rate and Campbell looks like he's getting more comfortable.
That said, there are still kinks to be ironed out. The running game got stymied today, and you cannot discount the fact that the Saints, who were missing three starters on defense, and the Cardinals might not be the stiffest tests for any offense. The Eagles D was downright scary today. And the Cowboys front seven is incredibly fast.
Still, they're taking care of business against mediocre opponents, and that's one of the marks of a good team.
