National Media starts the bashing. It's Trent's fault now.

They're just looking for a new story. Green isn't far from the problem. No matter which way you slice it, it's still the defense.

None of those guys (except Hasselbeck) are expected to lead an offense to high-scoring days.

How many turnovers did those guys commit? Trent had two on Sunday.

Our defense wasn't really a problem until the fourth quarter. They damn near kept the offense in the game for three quarters.

Trent's not checking down as much. He's sticking with his 1st and 2nd reads to long and forcing the ball to the WRs. I think he'll snap out of it. This also not at all the game plan we were planning on using this year either. Bo and Wilson were gonna be huge in our O this year.

Blaming the Defense for Sunday’s debacle is wrong, IMO.

The Defense gave the ball to the Offense several times. The Offense gave it right back to the Enemy. They did this enough times that the Defense broke down and finally collapsed entirely. Vermeil pointed out in his post-game conference that if you keep the D on the field that much, they are going to break down. The Offense kept the Defense on the field and the Defense broke down.

The Offense lost the game against Carolina.

Sorry to report that the high-powered KC Offense ain’t so high-powered this season.

Who the hell is he supposed to throw the ball to? Morton? You saw his true color (yellow) on the ball to him over the middle. The SOB didn't even give an effort.

The defense played a decent HALF!! For once. They gave up the 9 minute TD drive. Just like last week. The offense had the ball for all 3 minutes in the 3rd quarter. The game was decided then.

Another thing I'm sick of regarding this defense is the excuse, "Well, they got tired." Who has the responsibility of conditioning this bunch of fat-azz underachievers?

I sure as heck didn't see Carolina switching DLineman out like we did. They were missing Jenkins for almost a half and still owned the LOS.

I know what the offense is capable of. It hasn't performed up to standards. I also know what I saw out of this defense - AGAIN - and I'm sick of the excuses from the coaches and the players.
