Not sure how much of that is on Marrone, but he definitely has to be in the equation of blame.

The offense was really not so bad, especially with a backup tackle and rookie backup QB. If Fornette doesn't get stripped at the beginning of the third quarter then that offense probably did enough to win the game - had the defense held up its end of the bargain.

The undisciplined stuff like penalties and being out of position is still an ongoing issue that you can certainly lay at Marrone's feet. I'm fine giving him 2019 to fix it. If he can't, then he should be on the hotseat for sure. I could see it going either way.

The lack of playing time for the starters in the preseason was a really bad decision.  Especially when you open with an opponent like KC.  They can do stuff on offense that makes a defense look stupid.

The majority of the defensive players on the field today saw quite a bit of preseason action.  I don't see the preseason snap counts for that group as part of the problem.  It was primarily offensive starters that Marrone held out in the preseason.

^ all true.
But, no mention of Ramsey? He was burnt toast today.

Marrone should definitely be on the hot seat if he can't magically get control of the team and turn this thing around (geez, having to say "turn this thing around" after week 1,,, wow).

I'll have to watch gamepass to know more about Ramsey. From my vantage point in the stadium I saw Bouye on the losing end of matchups with Watkins and Kelce and didn't see Ramsey give up any explosive plays. That's not to say I didn't miss one. 
What specifically did you see?
