Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Looked pedestrian today. Some units looked great and some were trash. Russ played solid, I am tough on Russ but a lot of the sacks he couldn’t help today because the O line is fucking trash (which is funny because all the local hosts dubbed it a “top 5 unit”). The secondary is almost just as bad. Flowers and Tedric were garbage. Tedric always has been and Flowers showed some potential last year but took a step back today.
Metcalf flashed some nice stuff, he is going to be a key piece to the offense.
The Front 7 are studs. Clowney was wreaking havoc. Jefferson looks like he took another step up. Bobby showed why he was one of the best players in the NFL. Will be fun to see what they can do with Ansah and Reed in there as well as Clowney having a bit more practice. The Bengals have a terrible O line though and a lot of the players were back ups so we shall see.
Team did not look like a playoff team this week but neither did they for the first few weeks of last season either.

Flowers will be fine, but that fucking misplay by tedric was unexcusable, we may see Blair step in soon.
The front 7 is going to be nasty IF (big) ansah can stay healthy for 10 games and the playoffs, Reed stays in shape during his suspension, and one of collier/Jefferson/Greene can show up each game
As you said, the team started slow as fuck, and has been a trademark of Carroll's teams
If we are playing like this week 4 I will be concerned, id be ecstatic with a 2-1 start though, and with how the steelers looked, and getting the saints at home, I think we should split the pair
The Hawks have gotten a lot of breaks early this year. You know they'll be good late as always.
They could give the Rams a real run.
