Petro a& Lenny "Don't blame the offense"
On the way to the airport I was listening to Soren and Lenny. While Lenny was a bit more critical of Thigy, both said this game was not the fault of the offense. 500 yard and 31 points should never net you a loss.
Lenny reminded us what some here tried to say yesterday, "offense is fun to watch but defense wins games". Miami had the ball for 12 minutes in the 4th quarter. That says it right there. That is the game. This offense battled back from poor special teams play and defensive play (opening play), to hand the defense yet another lead. Both said Thigy's performance is expected for a 1st year QB. Did he make dumb throws? Yes. Should he have had more INT's? Yes. But as Soren pointed out, Pennignton also got away with 2 or 3 balls that were tipped and close to being picked off. Bottom line is the offense has been moving the ball and scoring and the defense has yet to hold a lead. Again as Lenny said, you can't keep trying to outscore your opponents ala DV. Defense has to show up and play. |

Sure I don't think anybody is purely faulting the offense after Sunday's game.
The defense blew it. No doubt about that. This one is on them. But it would be nice if for once the offense didn't choke again in the 2nd half. 1st half - 28 points (At that rate they should easily score in the 40s and probably 50s) 2nd half - 3 points. Out-coached by halftime adjustments again. |

Not only has the game passed Gunther by, offenses around the league have effectively learned to counter the en vogue Cover 2. And, it doesn't help the Chiefs any by starting a number of guys who wouldn't even be on other NFL rosters.

...I honestly don't think it's a talent issue, it's a coaching and a culture issue...hopefully Clark will change all that...
