It's a little perplexing now. Because it's hard to figure out where the team goes after scoring just 17 points, followed by 13 points and then just 10 points last night. That's really, really perplexing. Probably the most perplexing component of this team's start so far.

I am more forgiving with the defense. Because it's a new installment, new philosophy, new coach and coaching staff. I was expecting a goose egg or two left on them here and there. Especially against the better offenses in the NFL. So, more forgiving there for the most part.

This offense has done them absolutely no favors. They have not had a lead now in eight or nine quarters of play. The offense has statistically gotten off to one of it's worst starts with Lawrence. Interesting team at the moment. The offense has the most questions to answer before I start bashing the defense though.

Hard to play with a lead when you opt to take the ball to start the 2nd half and the opposition marches down and scores a TD on their opening drive in the 1st which has happened the past 2 games.  If we win the toss in Houston, we should probably opt to take the ball first to see if we can take advantage of playing with a lead for once.
