Unreal stats

1. 8 games in a row with teams scoring on a kick/int/fumble return for a touchdown?

2. 184 points given up-56 not by the defense?

3. 4 losses by a total of 15 points?

4. 233 more yards of offense than KC today, over 400 yrds. pasing, over 500 yrds. of offense, and we lose today?

You couldn't make this stuff up and have it be believable. Are we all living in bizarro world?

It’s amazing how little most people pay attention to ST and how big of a role it can play in a game. We had one of the best kick covering teams last year and now have one of the worst if not the worst. ( I haven’t researched this, just going off Coach T’s PC from this past Tuesday.) Parody? Yeah that stats are strange.

You know I heard Mike Wallace also say that he wanted “nothing” to do with kick coverage. This kind of attitude just can’t exist for that unit to work. If one guy feels this way then others probably do as well. Last year we looked fearless on kick coverage, this year that unit looks timid and confused.

Mike Wallace shouldn't be out their on Kick coverage he is kind of important

But ST is a third of the game and you must execute in that third just like any other phase of the game.

Mike Wallace ain't tackling nobody

Because he can’t or he just isn’t?

He most likely can't and he shouldn't because if he gets hurt it Limas hands of stone as the third WO

Not Bizzaro world at all

Turnovers generally have a direct correlation to Wins and Losses (for the most part). In all four of our losses we turned the ball over more than our opponent. When you give away drives and allow the other teams D to rest you are going to lose. And if the other team can score without even fielding their offense…that is bad for us considering D is generally our strong suit.

Just look at the Minnesota game. Statistically they beat us, but they turned the ball over in crucial portions of the game so they lose. While getting tons of yards are nice, it doesn’t mean anything unless you are putting up points on the board.
