After 3 quarters vs Jags-13 points
After 3 quarters vs Raiders-10 points After 3 quarters vs Ravens-13 points You guys need to understand that our defense is facing circumstances unlike any other defense in the league. Teams have to be aggressive against us. We stopped the Ravens 8 times on 3rd down but 3 of them didn’t matter bc they went for it on 4th down. When you play the Chiefs, you have no choice but to open your entire playbook and do whatever you can to keep up bc the Chiefs offense is going to score no matter what you do or how good you are. These guys are better, but there are still kinks. I’m pissed that they got a TD from a blatant **** up call and also from Ward being a complete moron on a pop fly ball that should have been picked. We have a ways to go, but there is improvement. |

Honestly, it is the last drive that is cause for concern.
I know, I know, prevent and all... But still, it was too easy and too quick---70 yard in 2 minutes and 35 second...gotta make them work harder than that and use up a bit more time. The defense is better...especcially in the first 3 qtrs. Take out the Jax 4th qtr and this one....and the defense looks much improved over last year, especially when you factor in that we have not generated a ton of turnovers. It is a work in progress, but in the word of Mr. Wolf---- Let's not starting sucking each other's dicks just yet. |

I think the defense is better, and I am hoping that they continue to improve. The 4th qtr defense is concerning....Quick prevent is not good. I would feel much better if their last drive took 3:30 minutes instead of a little over 2. |

I thought the secondary generally had pretty good coverage today but gave up some fluke plays. The rest of the D was bad.

Is it a defense I feel comfortable fielding? No.
Does it show SOME modicum of improvement? Yes, but it couldn't get worse honestly. Also **** Dan Fouts |

It's improving.
Coverage was pretty good overall. Jackson barely completed any passes to WR's, and the two he just chucked up were indeed flukes. I'm not super concerned with the d-line play as they really had to play contain all day. The sacks and pressures are starting to come. It certainly wasn't pretty, and I'm certain you can cherry pick plays and stats in which you can assert otherwise, but I see a rising defense that gets a little better every week. |

They got gashed vs the run a bit, but that's an unconventional attack so it was gonna happen.
Fellas, it was pretty solid for 3 quarters. Then it was 30 to 13 and Lamar can't hit basic throws from the pocket so you just go into pure make them run the clock defense. |
