18.2 PPG over the Chiefs last eight games.

The Chiefs want to ride that wave of success into 2018.

He's allowed more than 200 yards rushing in consecutive home playoff games, an was the defensive coordinator for two of the four games that blew 18+ point leads in the playoffs in the entire history of the NFL. I don't care how he dominates lesser teams in the regular season. Can his ass.

No DC could stop the Titans and Steelers rushing games with these front sevens.

Quite frankly it's a miracle his unit is allowing 20 PPG the last two years.

2 of the worst defensive implosions in playoff history.

Quite frankly every other DC in thw NFL would try something other than two down lineman and dime defense to stop the Titans and Steelers rushing games.

Certainly not a nickel defense in obvious running situations against a completely one dimensional team.

Who knows. Maybe they're delaying announcing his retirement until they secure somebody to replace him. We can only hope.

I was in this camp - now I think the delay is more for a chilling out period and he's not going anywhere.

This is my thought exactly. Andy is loyal to a fault (Sutton = fault). Be prepared to another year of incredibly soft defense.

We prepare our selves for something every year, just not a SB appearance.

One thing Clark tells all his subordinate leadership, perhaps "explains" is a better term, is

"Kansas City" is a small market, the people there are good and kind people, and the press is weak compared to most cities, so even if they get mad, they'll get over it. It's not like being in L.A. where you're having to compete with 300 other things to do on home-game-Sundays, so when we ****-up (like we do every year) because we're cheap bastards and don't really give a shit about winning simply circle the wagons, hide in a hole, turn off the news, or go to Fiji, they'll get over it because they're lucky to have a team (and we've sold them that line for 40+ years, it works!). So give it a while and those suckers fine people will go right back lining our pockets again, like they always do. Why? Because we'll sell them on a story of hope, a story of tradition, a five year plan (five times in a row!), some new addition like a QBOTF or new shitters (and my new house in the stands), or any line our marketing department dreams up. Who really knows after each ****-up, but know this, these people are forgiving, will swallow the hook, hand back the bait, and we will ride their forgiveness and the league's annual donation to our happy places - like we've always done. Fear not, my father invented this formula, and he was "A man of vision" (it says so on the hot chocolate mugs we'll sell them!" and that's our corporate plan!

If they're keeping him, in wish they'd just come out and say it

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I get your point, but the scheme was shit. Absolute dog shit.

Hell, you can see Mariota audible right at the weak part of the defense. They WERE going to pass, but Mariota has half a brain and decided to run into the weak ass front we put on their left side. It worked to perfection.
