I agree PMike.....IMO AL Saunders is killing the Offense with his play calling.....This isn't the Rams, the Chiefs don't have those WR's use Priest and then go from there... |

A focus on fundamentals would help a lot. They are tackling high and not wrapping up. |
The missed tackling at the line was ridiculous, we had so many stops at the line that turned into 1st downs or 7 yard runs!

or maybe they started double-teaming him instead of sims, i don't know... as far as the texans, i worry that we can't even beat them if we play like we did today... |

But I really think our defense did good and improved. That is my big point. Our offense hung them out to dry today. I don't expect the defense to do well if the offense is getting 3 and outs left and right there is no way for our defense to do well when they are forced to be on the field as much as they were...hell they even got 2 turnovers and the offense couldnt help them out. |

even flashed a few times... but they screwed up more often than not, it seemed... the really bad plays cancelled out the good ones... :( :( :( |
The only thing I'll disagree with is the "defense wasn't that bad" part.
The defense was OK... for one half. Giving up a 13 play 9 minute drive is exactly what they did last week. Only they did it a quarter earlier than normal. The D was pathetic in the 2nd half. A good defense holds that lead at home until the O explodes. We saw that happen today. Problem was, it was the other teams D. |
Our problem is..................
Our GM sucks. Our coaches (excluding defense & special teams) suck. Our talent for the most part has passed over the hill. We have a FEW good young players with no idea how to utilize them. It's depressing. I hope the next ownership has a serious hard-on for CP. I'm sorry Mr. Hunt has to watch this. Reference the autograph post earlier this week.

You have to take into consideration two key points however - 1. They are still trying to learn and gel under a new system. 2. The _ffense left them with a short field and short breathers on a very regular basis. If the _ffense is sustaining drives and allowing them to rest, and if they are scoring, the defense looks a lot better than it has the past two games. Considering point #1 the _ffense needs to be doing every thing they can to help the defense out early on in the season, and they have not been. |

many times it looked like we had stopped them for no gain or even a loss, but the rb was able to break tackles and take off down the field... :banghead::banghead: :banghead: |

I am by no means giving a pass to the D, they still have a lot of work to do. But some of their problems can be laid at the feet of the _ffense. |
Quote:
sure, the o could have mounted some sustained drives which would have helped the d, but the d looked so outclassed that i doubt that the outcome would have been much different... i just don't think our o is gonna score near as much as they did last year, mostly because of the schedule this year... we have faced two pretty good defenses already and there are more coming down the road... |

Two at or near the Carolina 40. One of those was due to the shiot 'excessive display' penalty. No, the defense got their hats handed to them. They played a great half. Then they tanked.\ And just to be fair, yes, the O was dogspit. |

If AS will pull his head out of his ass and call a decent game the _ffense will improve. Sixteen rushes for Priest is not calling a good game. And a good showing by the O will help the defense out. Leaving them with a short field and small breaks on the side line is going to affect their performance. And this makes the times they did excel both today and last week more impressive. Last week they had four straight stops after the O had left them on a short field too many times. Their is some improvement there, and there will be more if the O gets their act together and takes a little pressure off of them. |

I guess this one of those cases where perception is different than reality. And I totally agree that the first drive of the third quarter can be blamed on no one but the D. However, how did the O respond? By putting them right back out on the field. We had waaaay too many three and outs. I am not excusing all of the defenses' play, just pointing out that they were not helped any by their O. And that can not happen while the D is still working things out with the new scheme. |
