The post is more reasonable than the title.
 
There is nothing wrong with believing you are better than your record, it's called building confidence, and that is one of the theme's Marrone has been focused on through the first two weeks. The last thing he wanted to do was start having negativity and finger pointing rise up like it did last year.
 
I don't for a second believe they took anything for granted however. Based on what Shafer and Hackett said SB crossed them up early. Add in two long TD's and it made for a much closer game on the scoreboard than it was on the field. Almost 1/2 their offense came on two plays and for the first time in how many years a team backed off and were dedicated to taking away the intermediate and deep pass. It looked like they were playing 4 deep zone a lot with a CB playing man to the wide side.
 
Once they adjusted on both sides, Shafer needed to play HS defense against a HS offense, they dominated.
