Basically it was a perfect storm of bad by the offense. None of the WRs could catch the ball consistently. Then Pat missed some open guys entirely, and threw a few inaccurate passes. And at least one that was just poorly timed. Then a few of the play calls were poor decisions.

The defense actually played better than I thought they would. Though, DET was rolling inside the 20 on that drive in the first half when they fumbled. Otherwise they would've probably scored another TD.

And DET could've run the ball a lot more than they did. Nnadi and Tershawn were getting their shit pushed in most of the game when DET ran it. On a couple of early drives, they were running it for 5-6 yards/carry, but then tried to pass several times in a row and ended up having to punt. Pretty sure they could've just run it 3-4 times and gotten those 1st downs. Bottom line, we need Chris Jones back in the middle of that DL.

It sucks KC lost, but it happens. Pat is human, and he can have a bad day. At least he got it out of his system in Week 1. The WRs . . . had a bad day as well. Guys weren't getting open, some ran bad routes, some didn't adjust to the ball very well. and it wasn't just the WRs. you know guys aren't getting open when Pat is our leading rusher at HT.

The OL's performance was spotty. Early they looked pretty good, but as the game went on, they had some odd gaffes, several of which resulted in TFLs.

anyway, no need to dwell; it was always going to take time for this WR room to get comfortable, not having Travis out there just exposed the issue. Better now, than 12 weeks from now.

I also think it's all fixable, just a matter of how long will it take.

Couburn looks so much better clogging the middle than Nnadi does. I hope Farrell plays next week and Nnadi is the healthy scratch.

I also thought Dickerson was more disruptive than Wharton. But I’ve never been a big Wharton fan. Always thought he has been overrated. For whatever his rating is?
