But what annoys me is when we have a bad game or Lawrence doesn't play well how people are just waiting to take a shot at him or write him off, completely ignoring all the good he has done. Lots of people had a bad day yesterday, the Chiefs D did a great job and we didn't execute.

Lawrence is still our guy and is still elite.

Between us, the Chiefs, the Bengals, the Bills and Chargers. We've combined for 3 wins and 7 losses. These are supposed to be the best teams in the AFC this year. With teams like Baltimore and Miami hanging around to round out the back half of the play-off race. 

Every one of these teams in two weeks has at least looked flat or fell short on offense and/or defense. It's okay. At some point the main staples of these respective teams will be back fully healed or things will eventually click and it'll be off to the races as they begin to separate themselves from the pack.

It's too easy to overreact. The Quarterback always gets the blame because he's personally getting the most touches out there offensively. He didn't have his best game yesterday. However, it was far, far from his worst game. The fact that he didn't force anything or cough it up is a good sign to me.

He had a few passes sail on him that he'll wish he had back all week. He had a few plays where the line failed to give him enough time to reach his 2nd and 3rd level reads. He had virtually no help from his running game. Which I feel is more so on the line play and play caller(s) in general. 

It'll get better over the next 15 weeks. Just like it did last year. It's not a matter of if. It's just a matter of when. I would say once they get over this London hump and get that bye week we'll see some serious changes personnel wise if they're barely winning games and the offense continues to struggle with push upfront or time in the pocket for him.

Completely agree. Yesterday was a frustrating game and there were plenty of opportunities we left out there but we will learn and improve from games like that. This is still a young team, this isn't a SB loaded roster and it's a work in progress. I have zero doubt we will see the team execute better and start to click in all areas as the season goes on. I want to see this team hit form in November/December. 

Also agree about the other teams out there right now. Everyone looks like they are getting up to speed and have strengths and weaknesses. We have the same record as Buffalo and Kansas City and a game up on the Bengals. 

The KC, Buffalo, Niners, Bengals, Ravens games are the ones I'm most interested to see how we do. Those are the teams that will be competing come January and i felt the KC game was a bit too early but by the time the Bengals and Ravens games come I expect to see us showing we learnt from mistakes like yesterday.
