That's like a Raven fan in 2000 saying "Our defense has to be elite in the playoffs for us to win a Superbowl?" Uh...yeah. They sure do That's why we have Mahomes now, and not Smith. Only Mahomes gives you a chance of scoring big in the playoffs when you need it the most |

Said it a couple of days ago and I'll say it again now. I think we hold the 49ers under 21 points on Sunday.

I mean, I’m pretty sure if Conley doesn’t fumble we win that one by 3 scores.
As much as I hate it, you’re gonna give up points to the Steelers so that’s not terrible. And the charger game was what, 31 10? They haven’t been good but there’s been quite a bit of garbage time plays made |

If they give up more, it’ll be because they jumped up multiple scores and get stuck out there for another 75+ plays. |

Defense is much better than the naysayers are saying.
D forces a punt on drive after 42-28. Pittsburgh downs punt near goal line and forces a safety. That makes it 42-30 and puts D right back on field. D forces a punt again. Chiefs drive until Conley fumble and D did a good job of making Pittsburgh run 3 minutes off of the clock to get a score and get within 5. Chiefs forced 3 punts in the second half and only allowed 2 scoring drives even though safety and fumble put them on the field 2 extra times.

The Conley fumble was huge. The Chiefs had the ball & were methodically moving the ball down the field while running the clock. I think Mahomes missed out on a 7th TD pass too. The score would have been 49-30.

Seems like every stop in the 2nd half was after more aggressive defensive play calling.

So everything they did until that point didn't matter? Didn't Philly give up a ton of points too? Is their defense bad aswell?

A lot of factors went into such horrid stat line plus its pretty rare to go up 21 in the first quarter. Steelers were the #3/Chargers #4 offenses in 2017. What if the season started against Buffalo and Seattle? Both QBs are top 10 all-time in passing yards have a bit of sandlot in their game. Both starters are out at safety. One replacement CB has been in the system for a little over 2 weeks. Parker joined right before game 1. Hitchens/Ragland played one game together in preseason. Chargers had 260+ yards in the 4th quarter while playing a prevent look. Chiefs werent even really trying to stop them... They are definitely not good...but they arent THIS bad.

The postive thing is that if they get Berry back and can solidify themselves to just an average level, that may be enough to get to a SB with their offense
