True. Really any individual week should not be used (or individual play in clonedude’s case).First week is always ****** up. It’s literally the worst week of the whole season to use as an indicator of how the season will end.

That said, there’s possibility some validity in seeing this as a continuation of some consistent flaws that counter efforts to improve on 8-4. It’s never easy to win 8+ games, but it’s really tough with a suspect offense. I’m hoping the defense was just had some typical Game 1 gaps against a great effort from a slippery QB. (maybe it was just one game, but I’d pay his scholarship to have him in our QB room)
That’s the optimistic view imo, similar to people at this time last year talking about missing Manning. DM and Butler were talented, but that game was similar to many over the past few years.As much as people want to ignore it, we lost, by far, our two biggest playmakers on offense. It’s going to take a little while to figure out who we are. But if the defense keeps doing what it’s doing, it should at least give us some time to hopefully figure that out.

It seems we’re generally content with the offense not scoring on a high percentage of its possessions if we believe the defense can hold the other team. Even against the FCS you need to play mistake free with that approach. A needlessly thin margin for error imo.
