It's a soup. QB, coaching, player call and skill groups all have a hand in these shortcomings this year. In spite of having a 6 - 3 record. They're clearly out of sync.

We continue to see 3rd and 1 shotgun formations and play calls. We continue to see them move the ball over the 50 yard line and then proceed to [BLEEP] the bed and turn the ball over inside the red zone.

We continue to see, more than anything, and, whether anybody likes it or not, the primary culprit, the offensive line.

Look. The offensive line makes up essentially half of your starting offense. Those five guys have to get it done in the trenches. They didn't. They were bullied yesterday and it continues to have a trickle down effect. Period. It was apparent from the very first snap.

Other than calling some different plays or throwing different looks out there? There's really not a whole lot you can do right now to fix it. We'll have to keep playing good defense, Lawrence is going to have to hang in the pocket or move outside of the pocket or scramble to keep drives alive and we're going to have to do all of that while playing mistake free football and limiting our turnovers.

Tall order. You can get away with that kind of play against average teams or teams on the same level as you're currently on. Against well coached, well developed football teams? Not happening. This is why we lost to the Chiefs for the third time in a row. This is why we got our [BLEEP] kicked yesterday. Great teams make good teams look like average teams or just flatout bad teams.

If they can beat the tacks, split the series with the tinhorns, manage not to lose to the Buccaneers and Panthers, and, maybe figure out a win against Baltimore, Cincinatti or Cleveland? They'll get at least 10 to 11 wins which should be good enough to get you into the post season.
