Yeah, the Offense was out of sync to start the season and depending on which camp you reside, you'll find someone in the opposite camp to blame. I have little doubt that Ja"Mar wasn't full-go when the season started and JC at 100% might have made a difference of 1 if not both of our early games.

WTS, I do blame Zac for the way he handled the distraction (if he had any say-so). IMO they should have not let the tail wag the dog. They should have set a date. 

"If you are not practicing fully by XX Date, you are not playing game 1". 

Of course, it also sucked that their whole TC had to revolve around Tee being WR1 and then him going down just before game 1.
