Defense sucks. 200 mil on the DL has equated to squat. Pass rush has gone bye bye.

I hate our LBs and have for years. We need a stud in the middle and have not even made an effort to find one.

Do not get too involved in this year. Covid is going to FUBAR the season. The Browns could take it all

We need Thornhill for the playoff run. Matthieu wasn't good last night..not worried that will continue.

The D gave me no confidence yesterday and in the final 3 minutes or so I was actually saying to myself just let them score soon so Mahomes would have enough time on the clock for a game winning drive.
It just felt like there was zero chance of them holding out to the end and putting it back in the hands of Mahomes and company to overhaul a lead was pragmatically the best chance of winning. With most QBs putting them in a 2 minute length of the field situation to win it would be low percentage but not this guy. I felt far more relaxed about the chance of winning as soon as the Raiders scored. |

I hate to admit it, but Carr has improved in that he doesn't soil himself regularly like he has in the past against worse defenses than this one. The Raiders also have some immense fatties on that interior that have made a difference in that offense.
We need to get better for sure, but the Raiders are not a joke on offense. |

Yeah, the defense should be better. Still, they gave up 365 yards to the Raiders at their place. For the record, that's 4 yards below their season average. We all agree that they have a good offense. The Chiefs defense is currently ranked 15th in total yards. They normally give up 355 ypg. So really, they didn't do much worse than normal. Do they need to tighten up some things for the playoff run? Absolutely! But IMO, people are exaggerating the level of this performance.

My point was just like Marty Schottenheimer used to say. It's never as good or as bad as it looks. |

The only things that concerns me in the least is the pass rush. We have too much invested in Clark and Jones for them to no-show at times.
If the pass rush comes around, then I suspect this defense will look significantly better. There’s plenty of time to get that corrected and we definitely have the talent to do it. |

Last night I don't remember seeing a single offensive holding call. There may have been one against the Chiefs but I am confident there was not one called against the Raiders.
I remember seeing both Clark and Jones practically tackled. Sunday night shootout was good for ratings |
