Chiefs defense is the laughing stock of league
They just spent 5min on ESPN highlighting how terrible we are....
31st against the run giving up 148yds per game 30th against the run allowing almost 5.2yds per carry What they said was absolutely correct too; we won’t beat anyone in the playoffs in this current state. DEJA ****ing VU fo the past decade. |
6 going on 7 years in and the defense still isn't fixed....ridiculous.
|
Think u for this brand new information!
|
It's usually 1 way or the other in the NFL
You can have a good O and no D or You can have a good D and can't score |

It's been twenty years since they were dominant.
Nobody seems to care...:shrug: |
31st in run defense!! However there is no possible way we can be 32. We allow 148.1 a game. The number 32 the Bengals allow 177 a game
|
Bitch bitch bitch
|
I think it was Dan Orlovsky today that said that we are allowing an average of 90 rushing yards per game....IN THE SECOND HALF ALONE this year.
If it holds up, it would be the worst mark in that category in the last 25 years. Let that sink in for a second. Worst second half run defense in a quarter century. For a franchise that supposedly spent all offseason trying to fix the defense, that is just hilariously pathetic. Like all you can do at this point is laugh. What a ****ing joke. |
Over half the defensive personnel turned over.
Entire defensive coaching staff save for one dismissed. Different scheme installed. Nothing changes. Looking at you Andy..... |
But we're #8 in pass defense and we have the MVP and the next SB MVP.
|
I don’t think anyone was overly optimistic when Reid chose Steve Spagnuolo for DC. Buddy hire and Spags sucks.

IMO, most of the issues are with the LB's. |

Been saying awhile we are soft. It is Andy m.o. probably half the injuries are from other teams stuffing their shit in.

It’s safe to say nothing will change while Andy is here. He won’t get it done

Defense? We don't need no stinkin defense!

We took three steps forward and one step back.
Hope we can take another one forward this week. |

Little unfair. Three out of the last four games this D played well. No excuses for the Henry breakout though.

Blame starts with Reid. He’s the Head Coach, not the Offensive Coordinator.
2 of the 3 phases of the game were atrocious again this week. Starts at the top. Also, maybe the Ogbah injury is good for the defense. Maybe this will force us to roll with Nnadi and Saunders inside. Maybe Jones becomes a DE first. |

The way Fenton tried to tackle Tannehill made me want to vomit. That was disgusting and soft as there is. |
Bring back Gunther Cunningham! NOW!
|
When they get tired of being made fun they will play with more anger. When Andy gets tired of it he will design a game plan that helps them. All he does is wing it everywhere with no regard to the defense. If we had a good defense he could do that but we don't. We have bunch of cast off bums at LB for certain and no depth.
|
We are now the Packers of old. Rogers wins the game or they lose. No ground attack and defense is just crap. They didn't change until Like left and we may be the same. As long as Andy has Mahomes he won't change.
|
I don't understand why we aren't looking at guys like Zach brown or Brandon Marshall. Worst case, quality depth for probably not a lot of $.

I don't understand how they can go so many years without caring about having a stud LB to run the defense. O also don't get how Andy can't have the brains to adjust his offense to help the defense. It's literally stupid not to.
|
Yeah the old guys love to talk how important the ****ing running game is. Yada yada yada. Time of possession yada yada.

It's hard to have a good defense when your entire team is soft. The most important things about defense are toughness, focus, aggression. You can make up for a lot of problems by just knocking the crap out of people.
Our team is tissue paper soft because our Head Coach is soft. I don't know how we are ever going to field a good defense with Andy hugging and kissing everyone. |

When players are bad on your team but good elsewhere, it's usually a sign of bad coaching or bad team chemistry. I really don't like how Thornhill is playing soft and lazy. It makes me think that Mathieu is a bad example. |

Yet ANOTHER Brett Veach bust. |

A team allowing 90 rushing yards in the 2nd half of games Id expect to be under .500. The Chiefs are not, but this is a horrible thing to be this bad at. The Chiefs have to take that step of once you get up early you got to step on the throat of teams, which they seldom do. They are vulnerable to more teams than they should be because of this. |

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. |

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

It didn't produce squat in the playoffs. |

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.

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. |

Our LBs are shit. That's our biggest problem on defense. We have nothing there at all |

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. |
Somebody already said it... But the Spags hire was a "buddy" hire...

Been saying the same thing since TC. Way back in the "Biggest Weakness" thread.Thought they were one of the worst units in the league. |
Pennel almost single handily shores up the middle of the d.
I’m flabbergasted he wasn’t playing. I have no explanation |
I really did like veach up until recently. Not grabbing the linebacker philly cut was inexcusable. It was a no downside no risk move that he didn’t make.

To some extent I'm glad that happened so our defense doesn't develop a mentality that our offense will keep bailing out defense out. But this offense at full strength and without really stupid mistakes would have won this game despite our complete defense and special teams incompetence. |

When Spagnuolo was hired didn't he say something to the effect of we have the MVP, great offense, so the D has to be just good enough? I fear that lax attitude is trickling down and always in the back of their minds.
I am even willing to bet that the buddy hire conversation between Reid and Spagnuolo went something like "Hey Spags I have this generational kid who will do my offensive bidding, just oversee the D so that I can focus on the best looking 3rd and 2 TE screens". |

I agree with this. The offense and team in general are heavily dependent on pat nailing those shots. It’s not that we necessarily HAVE to be like that (we did good with a ball control style) it’s just that we’re letting mahomes be the hero so he needs to also deliver. I have no doubts this team would be in a similar position if we were playing a different type of tempo offense. Also the left tackle is ****ing everything up. Once fisher gets back this team changes completely. Fisher and PENNELL need to be in the ****ing game desperately. |
Btw that 14 defense did that without DJ and Berry for most of the year.

That guy ****ing sucked worse than Reid and isn't even worthy of holding the piss bucket for Marty, Cowher, and Stram to piss in. THOSE guys knew how to build a defense that ate souls for shits and giggles. |
