No love for Denver? The have only allowed one touchdown in 3 games. Against St. Louis the offense had so many turnovers and SL had very good field position about half their possesions and they still couldn't score a touchdown. Remember, STL's offense is usually one of the best in the leagues. We have one of, if not the, best linebacking core in the NFL with Al Wilson, DJ Williams, and Ian Gold. Our d-backs are awesome too with Champ Bailey and Darrent Williams at corner and John Lynch and Nick Fergusen at safety. The Browns d-line is doing really good for us, much better than they did in Cleveland.
How about some love for the Pats? Allowing 16ish PPG against 2 of the top offenses in the NFL, in the Broncos, and arguably the best one in Cincinatti, whom we completely dominated ane held to 13 points.

Shut them down eh? I would consider that a pretty good offensive game compared to their first two.
Did I say we shut them down? No. We allowed 17 points, which a break here and there, and we would have won. If you had watched the game you would have seen that they didn't dominate us at all. Their run defense was excellent, thats why we only had 7 points, but still it was a winable game.

Ike Taylor has developed into a top 6 NFL cornerback, Troy Polamalu is probably the NFL's best all-around safety, Jerry Porter is a top 10 outside linebacker and Clark Haggans is as underrated as they come, Casey Hampton is a top 5 DT and makes the linebackers jobs much easier, Aaron Smith is an underrated DE. Deshea Townsend isn't a top 30 corner in football, just a smart veteran who has a nitch on the team. (He gets outmuscled a lot).

I kept them in mind as well but IMO Jax has more to show to really prove themselves. They are still young. Pitts will find a hard time staying at their level and will eventually drop.You may think differently but my veiw won't change.
