It's not that they aren't great, but Shonen manga usually has a pattern. The level of competition increases each fight during a major conflict. The beginning fights are against lesser opponents and the last fights are against the most powerful. It's like a wrestling card where you have opening matches, a mid card, a semi-main event, and a main event. So we are still in the opening matches of the war. It's like when Choji faced Jirabou during the Sasuke Rescue Arc and then we got Kimimaro vs Gaara and Naruto vs. Sasuke as are main events.
The first fight of the war was against Sasori without his puppets, Shin who did nothing, and a scatterbrained Deidara. Each fight will step up from that until Naruto and Sasuke take the field.
So that said, I don't consider the Swordsmen to be anything special. Kakashi and group should be able to handle them, before their boss fights start.
