Injuries and Sutton cost KC

[BlackOp]

I'm amazed that after Bell gashed them for 170, 7 games ago, that Sutton didn't focus on forcing a struggling Ben to beat them. Like Romo stated, KC wasn't playing the run in 1st half...

The back-up interior line finally showed it's warts against a fast defense...when you have all 3 players, out at the same time, it's going to catch up to you. Alex had no time...which was a toxic combination of having your #2/#3 WRs out. That put the offense completely out of sync...

Not too upset about this..I think if Sutton had sold out to stop Bell from the start, KC wins. If Gaines makes the INT, Chiefs probably win...

Steelers came ready to play...they were way more physical out there.

Poor play calling, poor Pass Pro, no holes, constant pressure on Smith, Kelce was a non factor.

The Chiefs offense completely shit the bed and still had a path to victory.

People, don’t overreact.

the chiefs were frequently +1 in the box and couldnt wrap up. thats not on sutton. piss poor tackling and still held them in check.

But my lord, learn your ****ing lesson when the same RB keeps beating your over and over again. Great adjustment in the second half to a bigger defense, but how in the hell did a gameplan again going to the Nickel/Dime ever make it past anyone's desk?

That's my biggest problem with Sutton. He had all the evidence from last year's playoff loss that the Steelers were going to run. I been screaming at the chatroom to stack the goddamn box and put an extra lineman.

Exactly. Save it for January when Reid and pudding cup pull this shit with alex being alex.

Imagine thinking a defense that gave up 17 points at HOME to a talented offense is at fault for losing a game. Can’t relate. Because I’m not dumb.

Can anything save our run defense?

yes,

scoring 8 net points and not getting any 1st downs ought to do it

[petegz28]

Steelers defense shut down our running game
Chiefs defense got ran over by the Steelers running game
Smith missed two key passes today, one with no pressure

[gold_and_red]

So replacing Poe with Logan did nothing to improve our run D? Maybe the LBers are pathetic. In any case the problem has not been addressed after the playoff loss.

[kcchiefsus]

**** Bob Sutton. I hate his scheme.

[kcchiefsus]

And where the **** is Parker Ehinger?

The Chiefs haven't invested much into ILB for a long time. The last big investment was what.....DJ 12 years ago?

It’s really strange because it doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything but before you know it, he has 10 yards.

Maybe "the tape" can prove me wrong, but I don't see how his running style works without constant uncalled holding.

I think Bell's genius comes not from his vision (although it is impressive) nor his agility (which, again, is still top class). It's a brilliant calculation. He knows that holding happens on every play. He also knows that it's not called on every play. Therefore, he has nothing to lose by letting the OL hold in front of him while he waits for the right hole. He doesn't run into a wall over and over again and hope for the best. He doesn't panic and run at the first sign of daylight, because he knows that the OL can hold as long as it needs to. He simply lets nature take its course.

Also, the Steelers have paid off the ****in refs!!!! It's all a ****in sham!!!!

You know I never really believed in refs be paid to help teams win, that was until I saw the call in the Jets Pats game. I am now a firm believer that some refs get paid to favor one team unless your Ed Hochuli. He’s about the only ref I believe that is impartial
