CINCINNATI -- In an effort to figure out how historically bad this year’s Kansas City Chiefs defense is trending to be, I found something it has already done that defenses run by Greg Robinson and Romeo Crennel never did.

That alone makes it bad.

The Chiefs have allowed 30 or more points in three straight games within a season for the second time in franchise history. The other time was in 1987 but that one comes with a huge asterisk. The Chiefs used replacement players during the labor strike for two of those games.

The Chiefs have allowed 321 yards passing in each of their last two games. That’s an incredible stat considering they haven’t led during either game and the opponent didn’t have to throw. The Packers and Bengals just found it so easy they didn’t want to stop.

You could say the Chiefs were ripped the last two weeks by the two top-rated quarterbacks in the league, Aaron Rodgers and Andy Dalton. That’s true, but that’s still an unusual happening in Chiefs history. They’ve allowed 321-plus passing yards in three straight games twice and 321-plus in two straight games two other times.

But it’s the points where the Chiefs are truly embarrassing themselves. They are on a pace to allow exactly 500, which would blow away the franchise record of 440, set by the 2008 Chiefs.

That team, by the way, finished 2-14.

Career day defense is back. Except this time it isn't waiting for the other teams backups to start.

ONe of two things will happen.

Our D will show no improvement and the Bears will stay close and have a shot at winning.

Our D wakes up and we win running away as we should.

Oops, I forgot the third thing...

We continue to play like complete crap on both sides of the ball, the coaching staff stays in full reerun mode, and we lose by more than 10 points while giving up over 300 yards in total offense and 30 points.

Our kickers will remain gods among men.

What did you expect? He's old, coming off serious injury. Dude needed to retire and not look back. This is for sure his last year. Same with Hali. After Manning out ran him in Arrowhead last year. He needs eded to hang it up. Dude looks like he's running in quicksand.

Chromatic · 10-07-2015, 04:11 AM

DJ played really well in Houston and had like 10 tackles, I just think the normal wear and tear grind of the regular season caught up to him super early. That's not really laziness, that's just old age.

Hali, god bless him, is done. He collapsed pretty good during the 2nd half of last year and this year will probably be worse. If we're out of playoff contention by the 2nd half we need to probably bench him so Ford can get meaningful reps.

You're wrong.

Now this is really confusing. Did Reid want Smith or not?

I expected him to be solid.

It couldn't be more obvious if Reid was yelling it from a loud speaker

Get back to me when you understand who makes the decisions on trade compensations and contracts. Alex Smith stood probably a 99% chance of being released that off-season. Dorsey was the one that offered a deal that was so good and impossible to pass up that the 49ers agreed to it a ****ing month before it could be completed. Andy wanted Smith but he is not the one that wasted picks on him.

So Reid was dead set on not bringing Smith in here but Dorsey went ahead and brought him in here then extended him?

What you are saying is we are having a power struggle between the GM and HC because of the QB?
