They had expected the left side to be a problem, with Carman starting for the injured Williams, but the announcers kept saying how well that side was doing. They had expected the right side would be fine, after a good game in snowy Buffalo the week before. I'm beginning to think the Buffalo game was a delusion in terms of the OL based on the poor footing for the attacking DL given the weather conditions.
Didn't want to believe it, but I couldn't get that thought out of my mind after the game. I think we saw in the KC game that there was some merit to it. Though Buffalo didn't have Chris Jones lining up either. I think Jones made the line look worse than it actually was. Below average to average can look really bad when going up against elite.
