Doug looks and sounds drained. We knew the opening month of this season was tough on paper. Where I get frustrated in this is with the offense. I feel like the defense has done enough over the last two weeks. Would we like turnovers? Sure. However, you can't expect that every week. I am still impressed with the 20 points allowed in week one and the 16 points allowed yesterday.

Again, the offense. You played Cleveland last year. You played Miami back in the preseason. There should be some sort of familiarity there. Doug's at least taking accountability here in this press conference. He's saying they're better than this, they're a better football team than this. I disagree. I think, like he said, they've been together now for awhile, it's year three. We keep circling the drain and having these same issues crop up.

So, there's something to be said to that. He spoke about brilliances of excellence out there. I agree and disagree to an extent. He mentioned consistency. Again, I agree and disagree to an extent. I keep watching other games now, with intent and paying closer attention to details. Listen guys, other teams struggle series to series, just like ours, they're still finding ways to win, they're still overcoming multiple mistakes in games, errors, etc.

A lot of it is a mix between punch, counter-punch. But, they have tendency busters. I don't see them going run, run, run, punt on a drive and then coming back out and going run, run, obvious pass, punt. I see a lot of adjustments being made and changes happening in real time and I just don't sense that with this football team. Once again, second week in a row, chance to regain the lead, time running short, you're putting Lawrence in obvious passing situations, with no element of surprise to keep a defense honest, no misdirection, no quick hitters, no screens, etc.

Something needs to change before Monday Night Football a week from today. Season is already running away from them fast and there's no more excuses. Your defense has held your opponents to a total of 36 points and your offense has only mustered 30 points. Reminder:
