They held a top 3 offense to 24 ****ing points and if our offense could have just picked up a few first downs it would have been 17 points. This loss is on the offense. |

The defense is doing what it needs to do, despite the warts. Can they get better? Yes. Will they get better? Probably. The offense is a big problem right now. They need to put together more drives. |

Turnover FG Turnover on downs Punt They were putting heat in Josh too and he couldn’t handle it at all. 30+ pts per game offense couldn’t score a TD until the end of the first half when we had a terrible penalty helping them out. Spags young, inexperienced and injured defense did that. |

I do think that some of the criticisms come from PTSD from the bad defenses of yesteryear. For a long time our defense was not very good and as such fans expect it to be bad and default to it as a reason why KC loses. We have become so spoiled with a Reid/Mahomes offense that we sometimes won’t blame them for not performing and just revert back to ol’ Trusty, which is the defense.

He was playing a shell game and winning most of the day. We've got pass rush problems, but you can't hang this on Spags. |

Interesting stat from the Buffalo game - Buffalo was -.2 EPA against the blitz including the 2 TD's the rookie gave up. INCLUDING.
Overall they ended the game at .21 EPA and a whopping .49EPA against the pass so the blitz was way way more effective than none blitz defense. But they made us pay 2x. Its a double edged sword. |

FG WR tripped on his ass in endzone Punt. The defense played admirable and well. They didn't have Josh Allen in "hell". If 350 and 3 TD's is hell, then yikes. |

Those 2 TDs are probably a lot harder to come by. |

The QB makes half a billion dollars. You aren't gonna have an "elite" defense, money just ain't gonna happen to allow it.
You've gotta win that game. The defense gave you all the chances you needed. |

I’m guessing it’s semantics we disagree on. I don’t want to coach him out of making those type of plays or even looking for that play in that situation. You can coach him on game situation and what to look for with routes. I’m Not worried about overloading that dudes brain. But I under no circumstances want him to stop escaping and looking to make a play when shit breaks down. Those are what makes him great and if you have to eat some of those to get the 4 AFCCG Mahomes let’s roll. Quote:
Much like you can’t dog the defense for not shutting out Allen I’m not going to assert that the offense should have been flawless against the Bills D. This was pretty much a coin flip game. A couple plays here or there and it’s a different outcome both ways. And that’s what we can expect after the last playoff game and our losses. Besides it’s optimistic because we have fixed our cap problems and they’re all in and have to make hard decisions moving forward. I’m guessing you’re not making the points I’m trying to refute, but I haven’t participated in most of the postgame meltdown, so I’m getting it out there. I just have a hard time making grand proclamations (again, not saying you are just responding to the group) about two evenly matched teams. Plays happen in sports. Nobody is undeafeated. |

But that can't be where your pressure comes from. How the hell did we get here guys? How did they ever think this front 4 was good enough? I'll never understand. |

I also think it's a reason you need blue chippers. Hear me out here, but the more times you ask guys to make plays, the more likely flukey shit happens. It's why you need that guy to make a sack, or that guy to make a play on a YAC. The depth and stuff absolutely matters thru the season. But against other elite teams and in the playoffs, I'm thinking you need your Mahomes and Kelce's and Jones and insert whoever, to just be able to wreck a play. |
