There is nothing like low balling expectations in order to talk about how amazing a season it will be later on.

FO is notorious for overrating teams early in the year that they predicted to be good in the preseason. This is because their final DAVE rating is their DVOA mixed with preseason projections. As the season wears on, DAVE is weighted less and raw DVOA takes on more importance. If they're still #1 in Week 12, then I'll take notice.

Unrelated, but am I reading that correctly that the FO metrics rank the Lions as having the toughest schedule in the league? That seems fair.

Also unrelated, as I sat Monday night and witnessed my fantasy opponent make up a 45 point defecit to kick my ass this week, on the sole strength of the Pats record-setting defensive display, I harkened back to that one fine Sunday I started David Patten as my flex player.
