Higgins is out with a fake injury, Chase's contract disruption, and whatever else may have contributed to this team being unprepared. Bottom line, we suck right now. I was shocked by the horrible play-calling yesterday. Our offensive game plan was stale and lacked any creativity. KC is going to embarrass the crap out of us next week if this team doesn't fix what's broken. I doubt a week will get it done.

Our defense was sloppy and the tackling was bad. Our DL got pushed around like rag dolls.

That's the bottom line...no matter what the cause, the product on the field and result were bad against a team that should be one of our easier games.

Maybe the Patriots win 10 games this year and surprise people...but I doubt it.

This team relies on stars to win and Chase wasn't a star yesterday. Higgins didn't play. And that's the offense right there.
