    I don't mind him trying to call pass plays, but he probably did call a bit too much.

    The Chiefs came ready to stop the run. They new with Fitz back there, we were going to rely on the ground the game. Had we run the ball non-stop and continued getting nothing to show for it (or worse, -2's), you'd all be on his case.

    I'm sure if I watch the whole game from 'coach's film' view, I'll see that we probably had some receivers running loose.

    Also, I noticed that Fitz likes to stare at the rush A LOT, more than receivers down field. A VET QB should not be doing that at this point in his career....

    #1: Chris Johnson is our running back
    #2: Our run blocking has been awful
    #3: Chiefs front-7 was dominating
    #4: We were playing catch up

    I agree, and I will also add fitz looked very shaky the first half but calmed down a little in the 3rd. He needs to realize he doesn't need to do to much, just get the ball to our wide outs and let them make plays

    Run blocking sucks. The pass blocking was not too bad.

    Fitz sucked until he started to play his game. EVERYTHING positive that happened on offense was due to him making a play yesterday. He blew ONE pass which bounced off Wright.

    Why blame Fitz for drops by Britt and others?

    Sacks? Blame the OL which is the main reason the running game sucked as well.

    We didnt even give the running game a chance in the second half! This is what cost us the game. Especially when he had the lead and the ball and we had a second and 1 and we throw 2 incomplete passes in a row!

    Im not putting this all on Fitz if thats what youre thinking. I know he wasnt dropping his own passes, he actually caught one LOL

    Im saying what in the world is Loggains doing down there? That goal line debacle wasn't even surprising to me. But 41 pass attempts, that is surprising all things considered.

    If the defense doesn't bail Loggains out we lose every game. This guy isn't ready for the role he's filling.

    Britt had one drop that was bad. The other two could have been PI

    So you would be good with doing the same ineffective plays the Titans were totally ineffective running in the first half?

    The goal of coaching is to put your team in position to succeed. Notice how the Titans got a lead by taking another approach in the third quarter. The coaches made the right changes.

    Fitz makes a bad pass. Britt makes a few drops. Warmack makes a couple of whiffs. The refs screw up a few calls and you lose to good teams. I have no problem with the adjustments.

    Fitz wasn't as bad as most of us think. There were drops and poor tackling, he tried to make plays and couldnt do it. He had bad throws, but no more than Locker.

    Fact of the matter is: our run game is garbage

    We can't be a defensive / pound the run team like Munch wants with a crap run game.
