That will be a big indicator. It just sucks that we have to wait two weeks. I guess the break will allow some players to heal though. What will be more important is that we go through the division after the chargers. @ Mia, H - Jets, and @ NE. With 9 games played and having played all of our div opponents, we'll have a very good indication of where this team stands.
During the 4-0 streak, I gave this young team a lot of credit for coming from behind, winning on the road, and closing games out in the 4th quarter. IMO, there is a huge difference between the teams that can do those types of things and those that can't. Sunday's game was a disappointing step backwards (yes, I do realize that you can't win them all) and I hope that it was just a bump in the road and not a sign of things to come.
I hope that Dickie J & Co. put the O line through a serious workout over the next 12 days because that is the one area where this team could show significant improvement. IMO, we have one of the best 1-2 running back combinations in the league. Marshawn should be topping 100 yards easily. The fact that he isn't fall directly on the non-existent run blocking. Someone from the coaching staff needs to light a fire under their a5s and get them going!
