Same with KC. 

The slow starts are an issue, but the championship teams we've seen this generation .... the best bet to defeat them did come in September before they licked in. 

I'd be curious to look back at the teams they play. We've just lost to some very bad teams (Cleveland, NE, No QB having Steelers) and that makes it all the worse.

I realize I'm a glass-half-full fan, and that doesn't often play well around here, but we could look at every Preseason since Zac has been here and easily identify a probable cause.

Year 1- Rookie season and turning over the roster of a team that hadn't had a winning record in 3 years

Year 2- New QB with no Training Camp due to Covid (Also, Zac's last losing season)

Year 3- Sophomore QB recovering from a ACL tear

Year 4- QB devastated by a ruptured Appendix committed 5 turnovers in an opening 3-point loss to PIT

Year 5- QB suffered a calf injury in which he never recovered from until about week 6

Year 6- Qb returning from a season-ending wrist injury, star WR disrupts the entire preseason with antics, and #2 WR out

Year 7- Looking good so far (4 the offense)
