I know his post was in jest or at least hope it was but I'm definitely with you.  I think based on everything that I'm seeing and how my friends are talking, that people are a good bit too optimistic this year. I still expect the offense to be very inconsistent and probably in the bottom 10 of the league. Allen just isn't going to be accurate or consistent enough in year 2 to sustain drives on a weekly basis. I expect him to be a good deal better than last year but that's basically starting from #31 or 32 in most metrics. We are all so happy to have an actual receiving core that we are ignoring that it is likely one of the 3 or 4 least talented in the NFL. The line so far in the preseason still looks like a mess and will likely take a few weeks to come together. At best it hopefully turns into a league average line.  I think it would be an absolute great sign and accomplishment if the offense were to increase their yardage per game by 20% and even if they do that, that figure would still have them in the bottom half of the league based on last year.

Don't even need to really discuss the defense. They'll be the ones holding the fort down and giving the offense a chance to figure it out.
