I know that the cupboard is completely bare on offense, but this team needs a lot of help on defense, too.

I completely disagree.

The Chiefs would be undefeated with a defense like ours. 

 

We have to remember that this is the new NFL, teams with decent offenses are going to score points.

 

The defense keeping this to 14-0 is pretty good, IMO.

How so? No receiver in the league catches that bomb given the sun issue. The second one was blanket coverage.

The second one was a simple adjustment to make the play, Gilmore was way out of position with his back turned. It wasnt a perfect throw but it was good enough it should been caught...

 

As for balls in the sun, that's why they have eye black...maybe he should use a little extra next time...

It was a horrific 4th and 3 playcall.  Awful.

 

Not sure - Allen was not told to go to Foster, just the guy he is most comfortable throwing to with man coverage.

 

It does show that the coaches do not think this O-Line can get 3 yards worth of push for our RBs and that tells you something.

It was man coverage, without seeing what other receivers were running, how do you know that? Allen chose to go to the deep route, that doesn't mean there weren't other routes that would have got the first down. It looked like Shady was running a route coming across the field.

Not true.  That's a classic throw in the NFL and more often then not it's caught. 

Given the perfect coverage, more often than not it’s NOT caught. I know everyone watches the deondre hopkins highlight catches, but those are the exceptions. For real.

This has been a rough first half, but it's really not as far away as it seems. 

 

We're two missed plays from tied which means that we're 2 plays away. We'll see how we adjust and come out at halftime. 

 

But, Fire. Everyone. ..?

The defense also gave up that 14 points

Lol. You really think eye black helps when looking right into the sun? Man, you have gotta be joking ... right??

So besides having a horrible offence, horrible coaching all around, horrible rush defence, and bad special teams, that was a fantastic half!

 

Belichick would be screaming at the half if this was a contest

History says it will be NE who comes out of halftime and scores four TDs.

Nope. I want receivers that can bail us out on a few throws as much as anyone. That was a throw that needed exactly that.

 

Doesn't mean it's not a bad throw.

The reason that wasn't a bad throw is that on that play the QB's task is to get the ball up in the air right over the target WR and Allen did just that.  On most Sunday's you'll see that pass completed at a very high rate.  My only issue with the throw is that it wasn't the right decision on 4th & 3.  On 3rd & 3 that's a GREAT throw!
