Chiefs defense is the laughing stock of league

[493rd]

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.

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.

[Red Dawg]

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 $.

Chief's Defense: "Here, hold our beers".

[Red Dawg]

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.

Nobody seems to care...

They were a top 10 defense for 2 or 3 years under Sutton.

Suppose to be Hitchens.

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.

I wanted Gregg Williams for DC. That MFer is mean

Hitchens was good in Dallas, he transformed into crap when he came to KC.

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.

Mathieu is too busy fighting people on twitter to be a good mentor to Thornhill.

Yet ANOTHER Brett Veach bust.

Me too but he won't come here because his family lives nearby.

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.

This is pretty bad. Rushing yards allowed is an underrated stat. People forget how a team can take control of game by being able to run the football late in the game. Its the simplest way to close out games, if you can do it. 90 rushing yards allowed in the 2nd half alone is a lot considering how many possessions you may have.

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.
