I suspect-and I've got nothing to base it on-that the further you go up the totem pole-the more of a impact the special skills seem to have. I know I wasn't getting turnovers at this rate last year with my DBC, but that seemed to change a lot when he became a DC.
The game-San Francisco did a great job of neutralizing my offense, but my defense was able to get points off turnovers and we had a special teams TD as well. That was enough to get the win on the road against our leading competitor in the division.
The Rams were pretty awful, and we were pretty good. I think that about covers it. They also had their starting QB injured, and that made a bad situation for them worse.

Another solid win over a winless team. One note of concern was Serna missing all 3 of his FG attempts, but that will only be a issue once he have close games again. That may come sooner than expected, as our next game will be against the Giants. They're not having the same season as they did last year, but it still should be our first major test.

Our toughest game of the year so far. The Giants played excellent defense all game long, and we really needed that 60 yd run by James to keep our winning streak going, something you might not normally get against their defense.
I am a bit worried about Serna. He missed a chip shot from the 8 yard line in the game, and I may have to look at getting another kicker in the near term.
NFL note- Dolphins RE Jason Taylor announced he is retiring after the season.
The interceptions almost did us in. I actually got down 2 TDs by the end of halftime,but a strong second half enabled us to emerge with the comeback win.
Coach Smith did feel the need to talk to kicker Serna after the game.
"You've currently got the 2nd worst FG pct. at 46% next to Vanderjagt, and twice as many attempts as him. I'll expect you to finish with around 70% on the season or close to it, otherwise you'll be traded or cut in the offseason. Missed FGs can cause you to lose in close games, and things will be magnified in the playoffs."
"It's not just you-I'll also be giving the same speech to our STC."
Team note-LE Calais Campbell recorded his 15th sack on the season.

Sorry about the kicker vent-that part of the game has been a bit frustrating so far this season.
Not much difference from the last time we played them. Devin Mayo was a good pick for them this year, but they'll need to do a bit of work in St. Louis to improve a bit more.We finished the first half 8-0, one of three teams with a perfect record-K.C. and Indianapolis are the others.
Calais Campbell still hasn't returned to the negotiating table since the first week. I hope it's possible to still re-sign him.

Ok, here's the stat leaders at the halfway point. I'm not sure why Roddy White is doing so well. I checked the OC and it's Brian Schottenheimer-not a big pass oc, or so I thought. Maybe it's a career year.Walter-Hammerhill is his coach.
It was a game in which both defenses were just way ahead of both offenses. Dane Morrow had a night to forget as he threw 7 INts and 0 Tds. The good thing for the Seahawks is they managed to return their opponent mistakes for TDs, while keeping the Lions out of the end zone for the most part.
Coach Smith said later-"Our offense just has had trouble dealing with the Cover 2 and its ability to cause turnovers. It's just something we're going to have to adjust to, because we're likely to see quite a lot of it the rest of the season and in the playoffs."
NFL note-Ravens WR Derrick Mason-10,000 career rec yds.
