if you need an excuse, he's the guy to ask.

I completely agree!
Saunders has acted like an arrogant fool ever since the preseason. He refused to run the plays in preseason so he wouldn't show too much, but what could have been stupider than that considering how long it's taken for the system to develop. Ooops.
Then anything that goes wrong he just says that "the system works" and passes the blame to the players.
He's the Offensive coordinator- it's his job to make the system work with the players he has, not just pout like a little bitch that he doesn't have Trent Green and hall of fame offensive linemen.
I wasn't a fan of his KC offense anyway- they could never win when it mattered (NO playoff wins in 5 years), but his arrogance that it can't possibly be his fault is unacceptable - it's his job to adapt. These are the players he has. I mean if he's only a good offensive coordinator with great players, then he's not a good offensive coordinator.
Does anyone know if he actually called the plays in KC (I know he didn't in St. Louis), but did he call them in KC? Or did Vermeil?
Maybe he's just not a good playcaller? Especially, maybe he's not good at making halftime adjustments to his playcalling - something Gibbs always excelled at.
