The aggressiveness is precisely what smart QBs and OCs will take advantage of. I don't know why the Giants or Packers improved, but I would guess their situations had very little to do with KC's current situation. For a team that was very similar in a lot of ways, look at the 2009 Broncos. |

This defense ain't exactly going to shut out the Broncos or even hold them to under 3 TDs, but it's going to get its hits in on Manning and create a couple turnovers. That has a lasting impact as the game wears on, particularly in the 4th quarter. And I'm not seeing the YPA/YPC thing. How is that indicative of what you're saying? |

I won't pretend to know what's going to happen in the future, but it just seems our defense has that one bad stat. Pretty much everything else is on a break neck pace: points, pass yards per game, sacks, pass yards per attempt, etc.
Truthfully, we don't even allow a ton of yards on the ground; we just give them up at a higher clip than most other teams. Attribute that to the bad game against Philly and Pryor/Fitzpatrick running on us or what have you. I don't think anyone is worried about that and certainly no one that actually watches us play thinks our run defense is a weakness. Something to also note, its obvious that our defense is still stellar without the turnovers. There was some concern, mostly from rival fans on this board, that we might not be able to remain so strong on defense without the help of the ridiculous turnover rate we were enjoying early in the season. In the past three games, I can only remember forcing two turnovers- the game-clinching strip by Tamba and Bess's muffed punt. Yet we're still winning games and still haven't allowed more than 17 points in any game. We have a much tougher go of it coming up in the second half of the season but I still feel good about where we stand on defense. |

I think he's saying he's never watched us play. Outside of the Eagles busting free....teams just give up on it cause it just doesn't work.

...And I should have said the last two weeks. I didn't realize we played the Raiders 3 weeks ago. That just seems so long ago now. |

When a team has its DL/LBs rushing aggressively, it opens up lanes for the run game. Running QBs, especially, can take advantage. |
