I still don't have an issue with seeing what we have in Peterman.  The defense was a major problem in that 3 game stretch (2 losses before Tyrods benching), but Taylor wasn't blowing anyone away and by all accounts Peterman looked good in practice.  Maybe not the best game for the switch in hindsight with that LAC pass rush, but when is a good time?... Certainly not on the road at Arrowhead or against New England.

Team stepped up.  Let's see if that 3 game skid was just that... a skid, or emblematic of what kind of team they are.  EJ Gaines back healthy helped and Milano flashed again at LB.  They were stout against the run, tackled in space, had some pass rush and there weren't receivers running wide open all over the secondary.  Only one forced turnover so his wasn't a flukey 4 TO game. The defense looked the the 5-2 defense again.

The offense... yeesh.  Taylor misses some throws but does some good things as well.  He's average with flashes of athletic brilliance.  Guess it could be worse...obviously.  Hopefully KB is back against NE because Zay Jones is starting to pick up steam and maybe the offense opens up more with another weapon outside.

The run scheme and playcalling is about as bad as I can ever remember.  Extremely safe all the time, very predictable and way too cute at all the wrong times.  The negative run plays have got to chill as they are killing this offense.
