Not everyone is “complaining” when they’re critiquing someone’s play.
It’s great he played well last year when it counted. I hope he does it again. |

Clark really needs another solid to above average DE opposite him, something he really hasn't had since Ogbah went down mid-season last year.
Okafor can be effective when he's not injured but health has been his biggest stumbling block in KC. Danna is a rookie and while impressive, isn't exactly a pass rushing monster just yet. As much as I'd like for Kpassognon to be a fixture for the Chiefs at end, the guy doesn't seem to have "it". 7 sacks in 3.75 years is extremely disappointing for a 2nd round pick, especially since he was taken before Kamara and JuJu. |

That said, I really don't care. Without him, the Chiefs wouldn't have won the Super Bowl last year because there's no way Dee Ford would have been healthy and effective during the regular season, let alone, the post-season. The 2020 offense is clearly better than the 2019 Chiefs offense and when the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, it will be because of the offense and not the defense. The defense is just along for the ride this season and they're more than adequate in this offensive era. |

Clark was good when we had Suggs. Something to that?
I’m grasping at straws here. Trying to come up with a positive explanation |

A critique is a critique. "Andy Reid needs to call better plays on 3rd and 2" is a critique. "Andy Reid ****ing sucks" is a completely different statement and one that DESERVES to be derided. (And yes, somebody actually said it on Sunday) |

On the average, Clark appears to be a guy that will give you solid run defense, and about 8-9 sacks per year. Some years he'll do better, others worse. So much of what happens in sports is down to string luck. The Royals and Cardinals both won WS last decade based largely upon string luck. If Garoppolo's pass is 2% less overthrown, the result of the Super Bowl last year may be entirely different. |

He's not having a good year. It's really that simple.

I don't think we can have the attitude that the D can just be 'along for the ride.' They are going to have to play well come playoff time. You can't expect to win the SB in a bunch of shootouts. |

The chiefs offense is the closer. The defense just needs to not suck.
If we lose games where the offense doesn’t score 30, that loss is on them |

The Chiefs defense Top Ten in points allowed and their offense will roll over Pittsburgh’s defense. And the Chiefs defense is better this season than last year’s defense, regardless of Clark’s lack of sacks to this point. |

Against everyone else, the Raiders are barely average at best. |

The D is good enough to win the SB
The team is built to have an elite offense with a defense that can get a few stops. If we had this D in 2018 we would have won the SB. With ease. |
