Heh. So what do you think, Milk? Did we do it right this time? I believe so. One thing's for sure; watching the Chiefs offense is a hell of a lot more fun than it has been for a VERY long time.
I fully expected to watch growing pains and flashes of greatness, but not this. And, to read comments from other coaches and football minds in this league saying things to the effect of "don't bother thinking a seasons worth of tape is going to help your cause as a defensive coordinator against this kid"? Holy shite. When does
that ever happen to the Chiefs?
It's just mind-blowing. I've given Reid HEAPS of shit about his offense and the "Chinese phone book" of plays, especially when you hire a limited game-manager to run it, and who can never fully implement it. But now I'm actually intrigued about what Mahomes could accomplish with it.
When you put two minds like that together, spearheaded by a generational talent???
Damn.

You’re both right. Yes, there was a block in the back. And yes, the backside pursuit was ****ing embarrassing. 5th grade level stuff.
This defense is a lot more talented than they play like. They just don’t play aggressively. Soft. Think they can take it easy because the offense is so good.
That’s my POV at least.

Never thought of it that way because they've been playing like that beyond the first two seasons of Reid's arrival. It's very disappointing as a fan because the history of the Chiefs is a
defensive history. And now that we have a true franchise QB, we need to do whatever it takes to get that approach, attitude, and philosophy back on track.
I don't care if it's an "offensive-minded league", or that you can't lay wood like you used to; this franchise plays its very best football when the defense is cutting heads and creating fear in the opponent.
When I first came here and began to learn the difference between a franchise QB and the never-ending parade of sad that KC had been trotting out for years, it was Milkman( see above )who first posted "give me a top 10 defense and a franchise QB" as his chosen formula for continued success.
Well, he was right then and he's right now. And the sooner we get our defensive identity back, the sooner we can get to work creating something very special that will stand the test of time.
