I know their offense is rather offensive, but if they can get a few field goals they might be the team to beat in the NFC.

I don't want to be premature, but I think they've exceeded everyone's expectations so far.
Just a quick comparison, the Superbowl winning 2000 Baltimore Ravens gave up 128 points through 11 games. They scored 191 points in that span (compared to 182 for the 2005 Bears)
