Maybe the players are as sick of Marvin as we are. They play like this all season and no doubt he'll be gone

Before that drive folks were saying Marvin would kneel down; he did not. We drove down the field and scored as time expired. Great final drive,

Valid point.

This is very likely a possibility. Marvin could have realized the score was the least important thing on that drive. How did AJM control the O without someone screaming in his ear.

The reason folks are getting upset with what they are seeing in preseason is that we saw in spades last year that the old saying that preseason means nothing is not true - we had major OL problems showing up in preseason and the exact same issues on OL continued in the regular season. We also saw a super sloppy defense in the preseason play exactly like that for nearly half the regular season.

Yep. Thus why we don't perform in big games.

Yep. Really people were expecting to see Ross and Mixon come in and be stars. Ross hasn't played and will likely be used only a little during the season.

Mixon looks to have immense talent...but the poor offensive line will negate that. It's obvious. A RB needs holes and good blocks to get yards. It was a pipe dream thinking that Mixons talent would transcend that.

Dalton was only sacked once but under pressure a lot.

All in all...if they don't correct this, we're headed for 6-10 or 7-9.

Now that was surprising. Un-Marvin like!  I guess you have a point. However, Our defense looks like shit and when you get wrapped up in the game, although the score isn't important, we lose sight of that. However, I think your defense of Marvin is a little over privileged, I will agree because I love you man! I just plain love you!

93?

[*bfine32*]

Had no idea Orson Charles was still in the league.

[Joelist]

Time to cut Will Clarke.

[Stonyhands]

What in the Hell are the LBs looking at?

[jj22]

This Defense......

[*bengalfan74*]

Will Clarke looks completely lost

[HarleyDog]

God, why are we so weak in the middle?

[Joelist]

The funny thing is if you just watch Mahomes as a QB it does not look good at all. Mechanics are not good but the utter lack of any pressure means he is able to complete passes.
