Chiefs Chiefs defense one of the best in the league - Page 4

Chiefs D is giving up 5th least PPG while facing Rivers, Manning, Brady, Kaepernick. Thats with missing a lot of key players.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he sucks without roids?

it's not our offense, man

we just don't utilize receivers, often

Bowe is so underutilized that, at this point, he's super underrated

it's safe to say we're a pretty good team

good enough for another 1 and done!!!

Probably should have won by 2 scores

Drops passes. Gets penalties. Is slower than ME.

In terms of the wrs, I don't think you can use the they aren't getting open excuse.

I think it's more, smith doesn't know if they'll catch it and he's playing too conservative.

Had Jenkins open on deep balls twice today that we know of. Gotta hit those/take th chance

You're still saying that after what everyone saw today?

True, very good point. I guess I'm still dreaming of the day where we have a QB that will throw to WR's. It might be years down the road but Benjamin can still be here.

O.city · 10-19-2014, 09:56 PM

Bowe had nearly 100 yards receiving today and was an impact player. He had 1 bad drop, as did Hemingway.

Like it's been discussed before, guys drop balls. Smith has to move in from it and keep throwing it

He had 1 drop that I remember. Not as crucial as the one Bolden had for SF tonight or as meaningless as the 1 D Thomas had for Denver tonight but he did have 1... yes.

The defense is definitely playing a bit better than I expected. However, still struggle against the run, which I expected.

Gaines was a very welcome surprise today, kind of glad that Owens went down now because we got to see extensively how much Gaines has progressed.

I would place this defense about 16-18th overall right now. While they do manage to get some stops, a lot of the success with preventing scores has to do with the offense just dominating TOP.

I have to raise a glass to Sutton, he's making bland chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Oddly enough, we should have spanked the Chargers, not squeaked by. Our WRs really tried to screw us.

That drop was huge and easily a minimum 10 point swing. He catches that and we're in field goal range and keep moving down the field and burning more clock.

Instead we were forced to punt and Rivers drove down for a TD.

I don't know how you can say that it wasn't a big drop.

Right. We can't give the defense too much credit, but that takes away credit from Alice and a possible Alexcuse down the line. You're so ****ing transparent

We have multi-TE sets, and he is a good blocker so I don't have a problem with him getting snaps. My question is why is he getting so many looks from Alex? He should be way down on the progression, but Smith seem to still consider him some kind of security blanket.

On that third down play, Fasano was like the most blanketed player on the field and sure enough, Alex throws the ball his way.

And you just glossed right over the point about Bolden and Thomas having similar drops tonight

Douche.
