ESPN Article on Chiefs Woes
Chiefs address weekly burden of being in the 'crosshairs'
https://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-cit...the-crosshairs KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- As the two-time defending AFC champions with dynamic talent Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, it's natural the Kansas City Chiefs take every opponent's best shot. "Rise up"??? What the hell does that mean? To me it means they don't have a clue on how to fix the defense. That's what it means to me. |

What’s wrong with “rise up?”
It’s not like KC is going to give away their strategy on how they intend to fix their defensive issues |

Definitely agree that coaches shouldn't go into specifics of what they are going to change, but some generic references that you are seeing things on film that can be corrected and you actually are going to change going forward might inspire more confidence. |

He isn't coming out and saying they are going to switch coverages to this or that, hell he wont even say they are changing personnel in different sets etc...you don't tell anyone anything you are doing when you are making changes to improve one side of the ball. That would be dumb. So you get coach speak. |

Why is he covering the Chiefs? I mean, really? He sucks, and always has. Go cover your fav team Teicher (faders). They're having a real moment now.

The problem is that it's still steering into the skid for a team that thinks it's better than it is.
Teams have been trying to beat Tom Brady for 20 years - he still beats them. If you consider yourselves a team that can go down in the history books, you don't lose games by beating yourself. You don't come out flat in prime-time matchups. And no, you don't put up historically bad performances on one side of the football for 5 weeks. This isn't a question of 'taking a teams best shot' right now. This team isn't as good as it thinks it is and it refuses to acknowledge that fact. Y'all gave up like 400 yards passing to Jalen Hurts, FFS. They're not playing well - you're playing poorly. And until that fact is acknowledged it's going to keep happening. What worries me is that I hoped that the Buffalo game would humble them and it certainly doesn't appear that it did. |

Until we hear them acknowledge their own lack of focus, effort and execution, it’s all just masturbating. |
