So with a day to reflect these are some points I think that are important that haven’t been discussed very much

-passing game has been broken for pretty much the entire year.  This dedication to the run only gets you so far if you can’t capitalize on its success by then being able to throw it.  We just couldn’t throw it with any degree of explosiveness for most of the year.   Joe Brady’s OC tenure being better than Dorsey’s doesn’t hold up to statistical analysis.

Our longest pass play was for a measly FIFTEEN yards yesterday .. not going to cut it.  There were some drops but that’s still our guys dropping the passes .

You aren’t going to nickel and dime your way to a championship unless you have the explosion in your back pocket

As far as the defense goes , as injured as we were , the D line wasn’t hurt.  They were quite healthy .. and got blown up to the tune of 6.1 ypg and had zero sacks . They couldn’t even slow down the run at ALL when they were selling out to stop it on the last drive .   What was their excuse ? Chiefs Oline was considered a weakness .  Sure didn’t look it .   Did we forget last year when Cincy destroyed them as well ? The Dline needs ALOT of work and I don’t know how that happens with the holes we have to fill otherwise

In summary , we didn’t lose yesterday just because our Defense was injured .  This team has many flaws and they need to be addressed lest we repeat this same crap going forward
