At least the Packers got a ring before it became clear that the coach/GM were not surrounding Rodgers with a proper roster. Chiefs are a long, long way from championship level defense, special teams, and discipline in general.

From what I understand Andy is pretty hands off when it comes to the D. He basically lets the GM and DC do their thing. He will give input here and there but nothing crazy. Reid does like DCs who like to blitz though.

Our D sucks because the players aren't good. It's not scheme. GM is doing a shit job of getting talent for our D. CBs are bad, LBs are bad, Dline is average, Safeties are good but nothing spectacular. There is no way any DC can fix that.

In order to stop the run consistently, our dline and LBs have to win their one-on-one battles. There is no way around it and right now our players are not doing it.

I saw that.

So much for the 4-3 being the answer to all your run problems.

Andy had some great defenses in Philly under Jimmy Johnson and that was when he had his most success.

It’s basically all on Spags. I’ve seen improvement this season, but we knew this defense would take more than a year to fix in a new system.

If anything has hurt this team, it’s injuries.

If only.......couldn't be any worse than it is now.

There's also a little bit of the schedule being a kick in the dick. Our Achilles heel is run defense. Wouldn't you know it, 7 of 10 games have been against top 15 run offenses. ZERO games vs bottom 10 run offenses. Wouldn't you know it, the only 3 non top 15 run offenses (green bay, Detroit, Denver) our defense looked at least semi competent.

It's not an excuse. But it's an explanation. I think we're one of several nfl teams who thought we should build D around speed and many offenses exploited that by building power run offenses.

Stop dude. I don't care about bs rankings.

It didn't produce squat in the playoffs.

Yet it had no problem stuffing the run against your shit team. LMAO

Broncos beat the Titans 16-0 with Flaccid as the QB.

Same team that put 35 up on you.

At least you have Darron Lee to bring in off the bench to help cover TE's in the WC game if you get there. Your lucky the AFC West is so bad this year or there would be no WC home game this year.

To me it just feels like the lines (both D and O) are soft and it spreads to the rest of the team. This team played soft late in the game last weekend and had errors in ST's. Who knows what will happen the rest of the season but I think Veach needs to build from the core out.

Chiefs beat Donk 30 - 6 without Mahomes. The end.
Go to bed Bronco Steven, maybe with a good night's sleep you'll wake up a little less reeruned tomorrow morning.

Wrong narrative. Chiefs D gave up a lot of yards, but only allowed four Titans possessions to score points, the other six Titans possession were either punts or TOs. Forced a fumble which they recovered on the first Titans possession. Forced a turn-over on downs on their second-to-last possession.

Chiefs offense scored on 7 of 11 possessions. But only three for TDs. If the Chiefs offense scores just one more TD, we aren't having this conversation. And last year, the offense would've scored 5 TDs and kicked only 3 FGs.

We never expected the Chiefs D to be dominant this year, just top 18 or so. At least if we were realistic about it.

You want to lay blame, then Pat gets some for completely over-throwing Hill for an easy TD in the first half. And in the second half, though that throw had a higher level of difficulty.

I just figured that a younger Andy wasn't as soft. He's had plenty of family issues that might lead him to be more concerned with family and friends, instead of money and winning.

Wrong. Houston, Indy, Titans and Lions are not great ground teams and they each went in dry on us on the ground
Our LBs are shit. That's our biggest problem on defense. We have nothing there at all

Being soft shows up in the trenches more and that's where we look weakest. I just don't think that's a coincidence.

Tackling is about commitment and attitude more than talent. Our tackling is complete shit. Our guys look like they don't want to get hurt when they are tackling someone.
