Through six games, the Chiefs are the worst defense ever measured in yards allowed

Nearly 55 years for this guy. I agree, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. With a serviceable defense, this team would be unstoppable. As it stands, Reid’s only option (he isn’t going to send Sutton packing) is to try to simply outscore their opponent. If he doesn’t can Sutton at the end of the season - I don’t know...... |

But I keep being told by people here that this isn't anywhere near as bad as the 2003 defense, despite practically every metric pointing to the contrary.

That is way ahead of the 2003 KC no-punt playoff game vs Indy. When the current defense has a game where they allow a TD on every possession, get back to me. |

Edit: If people want to point to points given up vs. yards given up, that is essentially what this year's team should shoot for. 19th and 29th, respectively, with 37 turnovers 2003. That's the ceiling for this team. In fact, last year's defense was closer to 2003 than this year's defense is.

It is a bit hard to compare eras. Everything favors the offense so much more and the stats reflect that. For the no punt Indy game, the combined score was fairly low. But I stand by the statement that our defense had some stops and did enough to give our offense a chance to win it. The strip sack and stopping them on fourth down was a big deal. If the 2003 defense had managed to do that, KC most likely would have won that game. If the 2003 defense had forced a couple more filed goal tries, that could have also been the difference. And again, that was back when the rules were friendlier to defenses then than they are now. And it may be only ONE GAME, but playoffs are one and done. We are likely to see Brady again. |

The hell is going on today with the reposts? This will be the fourth time I've had to merge them together.

Is this statistically the worst set of posts ever?
