1. Poor pass rush
2. No true #2 CB developed
3. Slow LB's
4. Missed tackles
5. Poor O-line play
6. Not enough takeaways
7. Too many giveaways
8. Too many penalties
9. Key injuries
10. Leadership voids team wide.

Way more than 10, it was a complete domino effect.

How about not having confidence in your place kicker? We went for it on 4 and 3? then the penalty then, the first interception. Big momentum swing. Should be able to trust your kicker from more than 50.

Only ten? But we've played fifteen weeks?
