Chiefs Has our defense been HARSHLY judged? - Page 10

UChieffyBugger · 04:41 PM

It seems to be in fashion to knock the Chiefs defense. WE as fans slaughter them daily, the local press slaughter then daily, the NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL media slaughter them daily, and when I sit and think about the circumstances sounding that group, one could argue that they are getting judged a little harshly.

Now let's start with the preseason. Ragland and Hitchens played ONE warm-up together against the Bears and both missed several practice sessions. Nelson got knocked out of the Atlanta game and missed sessions himself, whilst Parker wasn't even In our building during the preseason. Then we have Ford who Is just returning to the team after being out for most of last season, and Houston barely played In the warm-up games himself.

Last year there was a perception that we had "the worst defense known to man", but I argued it was an overblown notion because the reality was that we were around fifteenth In the points allowed tally. But that notion has stuck with the team and now this unit that has barely played together Is thrown together and Is trying to both gel as a unit and get their football legs going all whilst facing TWO quality offenses on the road. The Pats defense started off badly too last year and then managed to be a decent unit until the superbowl where they contrived to drop their best corner, so there is a clear example of how things can change quickly In this game.

Nope, it's not a harsh assessment. This defense is the NFL equivalent of what Mahomes had at Texas Tech. 3rd and 20 and you can't get a stop? It's the NFL, not high school. Pathetic. Then with 35 seconds left in the half, they give up a nice easy drive for a field goal. That game should have been 35-0 at halftime.

LOL they got bailed out on the TD pass by a questionable call. Thank you refs. But how ridiculous is it that the Niners backup QB comes in and has an easy TD pass like that? Veach needs to do something drastic about the defense...soon.

Meh, they're not good but jury's still out on just how bad they actually are. Situation today was much the same as it's been all season. We jumped out to a huge lead- thanks in large part to the defense playing very well.

At any rate, they are absolutely bad at tackling and there are far too many communication breakdowns in the secondary. Pitt and SF's no-name TEs just gashed us like crazy two weeks in a row. Who cares if we contain Antonio Brown or Goodwin or whoever if we allow some other douche to have a career game?

Tighten up.. and start working in some of the younger guys in the secondary and at DE/OLB.

Our defense is our opponent's best offensive weapon.

Yeah screw this defense for making me miss Ryan Sims and Eric Hicks.

Our secondary is the weak spot. Even more so with Berry and Sorensen out. Our front seven is the strength. When you get out to such big leads, the other team is going to pass. Thus taking out our strength on defense, which is our front 7. 5 wide sets forces you to go to a 3 man rush. Blitzing becomes harder. Essentially to get constant pressure you need a HOF type rusher in that set. There is a reason why all 32 teams give up so many yards when it comes down to the 2 minute drill in this set.

We haven't trailed all year. Pittsburgh tied us. The leads have never been in true danger. This isn't a 2003 situation.
