That isn't the same as not believing they were incredible the first half, just not sure that that is this teams true pedigree. I hope it is.

The collapse in 2001 was easy to understand. For whatever reason, Carson Wentz couldn’t mount a passing offense; the Colts adopted a just run the damned ball mentality which worked for a while; but, over the last couple of games, Defenses stacked the box and shut Taylor down.

Last year, Daniel Jones went down, Anthony Richardson went down, Braden Smith went down, DeForest Buckner went down, Sauce Gardner went down, and Charvarius Ward went down. Phillip Rivers was a nice story, but it didn’t take long for opposing Defenses to figure out he couldn’t complete a pass longer than 20 yards. Who knows what might have happened if Richardson doesn’t go down. If you’re tempted to say Quarterback isn’t so important, look no farther than the Chiefs, last year. In the 3 games Mahomes didn’t play, they put up 37 points and racked up 265 total passing yards, less than 90 yards per game.
