I'm really battling whether or not to be upset with the defense. In all fairness 3 starters are out...

Charles James was a ST star. But now he is just a waste of a roster spot.

The secondary is a mess missing so many. And of course the defense is missing J.J. Watt, too.

Offense has been a disaster. OL is overmatched, and Osweiler is locking on a receiver, off-target, and not showing any poise.

Special teams allowing a TD isn't helping either.

I'm having a hard time understanding how Tom Savage couldn't do anything and everything BO is doing (the positive, I mean), and possibly better.

I'm also having a hard time understanding how Alfred Freaking Blue is more productive than Lamar Miller.

Second time in three weeks we are on the receiving end of a blow out so we are still far from ready to play with the big boys in prime time.
Now it's the Colts at home with a chance to bounce back.
