Their RB bull rushed our rb and blocked the punt. He was in position to block the guy, but didn't/couldn't cause their guy was better.
Manning didn't turn the ball over, KC did, twice. Plus KC missed a couple of TD's. KC was ready to play, no one prepares more than he does, but at this stage Eli is just better. He didn't miss his TD opportunities, KC did.
Where was Kerrigan and Hatcher? No sacks or pressures.
We could not run the ball cause their linemen were pushing ours around in the run game.
None of their Rb's fumbled the ball out of the end zone.
I think we'll see more of the same Sunday. Close game but do we have enough playmakers on the field to win the game???

If it was just a matter of players, there would be no need for coaches. Scheming/game plan matters, its not just players. We have shown when we power run, we can. But when we are running the ball with a TE built for catching and not blocking being responsible for a DE on the attack side, thats a scheme error.
Players certainly deserve their share of the blame, but to say it was just the players fault is to claim the NFL game is as standard as pop warner, and thats just plain wrong.
