I expect to see some improvement coming out of the bye. Pettine had an extra week in the lab, and the boys had an extra week to get healthy.
We've had a tough schedule. Can't overlook that. Our defensive stats will look much better after games against NYG, WASH, etc.
It's not a dominant defense, but we've got enough to win games with our balanced offense. Force turnovers, come up with timely stops, and keep them out of the EZ. Allowing 20 pts/game isn't terrible, especially given the opponents we've faced.
