My point was that we aren't losing to crappy teams as some heve suggested. My other point was that many are saying we will have a bad record because the schedule is supposed to be so tough, but we don't know that for sure. Indy was supposed to be a top 10 team (8th) and without Manning they have dropped all the way to 30. The Bears were ranked 7th after beating The Falcons (who were ranked 6th at the time) and now after back to back losses to the #2 Saints and #1 Packers, The Bears have dropped all the way to 18th (which I think is a little harsh) and the Falcons are now 19th.
I expect alot of these teams rankings to shift dramatically, at least until weak 8 or so. I also predict that the Chiefs will move up a lot after they beat some of these "weaker" teams.
They made a big improvement from week 2 to weak 3, scoring 17 points after getting only 10 in their first 2 games combined and giving up only 20 after averaging 44.5 in the first two games. I wouldn't give up on them, yet.
