This team was within 10 points, mid way through the 3rd quarter, with us at their 26 yard line and driving before Fournette fumbled the ball..

Even with the Defense playing the worst game they've ever played, this team was still hanging with a Superbowl favorite and the best Offense in the league..

That was with a rookie back up 6th round QB who has zero reps with the starters. A 3rd LT making his first start, who hasn't even played LT since high school and 2 back up LBs for a good majority of the game..

I really don't see what's confusing about that..

The defense played that bad all last year don’t pretend it was just the chiefs that moved the ball at will. We’ve spent high draft picks all over the defense and signed major free agents for big money over the last 5 years and it’s still a crap shoot if they show up to play week to week.  

We’ve completely ignored the offensive side of the ball even though it’s painfully obvious the game is tillted towards the offense. 

Make whatever excuse you want but the facts are simple we are 7 years into Caldwell’s roster, 3 years from when it was “built” and we just got old school whipped last week after a dumpster fire of a season last year.

We have no depth across the board even Caldwell apologist admit that. Our starting lineup has a ton of names we all know but they haven’t done anything and there’s nothing pointing to success in the future except hopes and dreams.

We came into this season with the belief that Foles was signed to fix the offense and the defense would return to form. Instead we lost Foles in the first half and the defense is more worried about show boating then actually playing any kind of intelligent football. That’s the character problem on this team Caldwell’s drafted a roster of me first toolbags that can’t function as a unit. It’s as if Ramsey’s nonsense has spread to the rest of the defense. Now we be Telvin Smith sitting out, Myles Jack getting ejected and Harrison right behind begging to be next. 


I love my team I hate half this roster
