We need to get some big vets on the D line in the off season.
Agree. Jenkins is garbage. Rankins can't get back soon enough. Im also a little disappointed in Fairly this game. Thought with the story about his mothers death and how she would have wanted him to play, would have made him play like a madman. One for moms. But it was not. Bone headed penalty at the worst possible time instead.

IMHO this team lacks motivation. The drive where Ingram scored is a perfect example. Offense kept huddling and Brees acting like he had all day to hike the ball. That all starts with the head coach.

This team feels like the '08 team to some extent. The fact that our offense is starting to roll. I think we challenge next season, really do.

BTW- Has anyone else noticed that drew has more than 2000 yards through 6 games

Re: Been very critical of this team, but I think

8-and-8 would be a good year from here.
The little things loomed large yesterday.
A little pick-6 and a little red-zone fumble when we needed it least.
That aside -
We still can't tackle, after all these years.
This didn't start yesterday, we couldn't tackle under Greg Williams.
It's pitiful. It's football. How do you play football and can't tackle?
We still can't cover. I thought I saw Fred Thomas yesterday. Oops!
Stumblin and bumbling getting twisted and turned around like his shoe strings were tied.
How do you mugg a guy like that and still let him catch it for a TD?
Why not just tackle him at the line of scrimmage and take 10 for holding.
You may even get away with it because you're within the 5-yard zone.
ESPN is going to slo-mo that one to death.
And it's not just Crawley. He's the new king because they are picking on him every week.
Who is teaching them to cat fight with receivers while the ball whizzes past their ear hole?
They have to be teaching it because they are ALL doing it.
Prayers go out to Fairley and his family.
I also thought he would be beastly after he decided to play. Nope.
Had more penalties than tackles which was 1 (1 penalty).
If we could go back and play these over we would be 4-2.
Then they would go back and re-play them over and we'd be back to 2-4.
Oh well...

Chiefs have one heck of a home field advantage i'll tell you that much....would like to see more of Tapp & Less of Kruger also why not give the Tulane prospect some snaps on 3rd down there's no way in hell he can be any worse

When we play explosive offenses we get exposed if the Chief's were one of those it might have been a worse game defensively so don't let the numbers fool you...Alex Smith was 75-80% completion percentage there offense did exactly what they wanted it to

Alex Smith enjoyed his best day of the season from a passer-rating standpoint at 126.0, built on 214 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

I feel like depending on the heart of this team we could go 10-6 -7-9

Who cares what our record is going to be. Fact we won't make the play offs and that is all that matters.

I do see improvement with our D but its taking way way to long.

It's frustrating.

I think Seattle can be had in the Dome though. They aren't playing well offensively & the kicking game is iffy.
