Lots of good threads and posts are out there, and I won’t re-hash what’s been said. We are 3-0, and we have KC up next, so 4-0 should be well within reach.

I saw some stats that should soothe a few souls out there and wanted to pass them on. The play of our linebackers in the game was pretty fair – I saw Boss out of position a few times, but Shockley is a tough guy to defend. Boss’s 5 tackles and 4 assists were third on the team – DJ Williams led all with a rousing 14 tackles and 2 assists, while Nate Webster came in 2nd with 7 tackles and 5 assists as well as a rumbling, stumbling great TD run. Those three led the team.

Did anyone foresee Hillis becoming a return guy this week? Not a bad job, either – he’s becoming our swiss army knife, and his lead block on the Pittman touchdown was, as one MHRer said, classic. The D needs to step up, but big plays do win games. ST improved, and Jay had a sub-par game, but was often amazing.

So, from: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/headToHeadTeamResults?statsId1=18&statsId2=7&gameId=20080921007.   Head to head average numbers after three games with winners listed by ' * ':

But I was most interested in our overall three game stats. Here are some of the stats from our current position in the league.

Also, we are first in the league for scoring efficiency, at 63.3%. We rank second for fewest 3 and out drives, with 4.

Another fine stat:  Throughout the first three games, only the Chargers recorded a sack, and that was a statistical sack only, listed as a team sack, to account for the fumble. That’s an amazing performance – I recall before the Chargers game people saying that their D, even accounting for injuries, was too good not to record a sack. Our O line is putting on a world class performance. If Steiger becomes the center we look for him to be, or if Hamilton moves and Steiger takes over a guard, we could be one of the best for a long time.

And here’s to the only stat this really counts –  3 and 0!
