The offense has to move the ball so they can get a little rest. 2.) We need a more balanced offense and take what is working that day. 3.) We need a good offensive mind. We have a ton of talent that gets held back by a very basic offense. There is no way Joe should have to constantly check down with the horses we have on the outside. Zack is a very good head coach. Zack is also an awful offensive mind.

Sorry but this was on the defense - they had plenty of chances but NEVER managed to get off the field. What happened to our run defense? It used to be upper level now it is on pace for worst in NFL history? How do you not spy a mobile QB? How do you NEVER cover the middle of the field? Jackson is not Mahomes but we've stopped Mahomes and inexplicably played a super vanilla D today instead of the way we stopped Mahomes. Oh, and how on earth do you get beat by Jet Sweep right not once, not twice but something like TEN TIMES? What happened to adjusting, to reading the offense accurately? 

And lest we forget Nick Scott deserves a star on this walk of shame too - TWICE he had EASY INTs had he just exhibited the BASIC DB instinct and broke on the ball...
