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

What’s incredibly sad is that Reid thinks this defense could be even WORSE if we kicked Sutton to the curb. That’s the only explanation I can find in why he still has a job here.
Between the MULTIPLE playoff collapses, the years worth of shitty defense, and now the HISTORICALLY bad defense out there this season..... ...HOW DOES THIS GUY STILL HAVE A JOB?!? |

The defense hasn't been bad for "years". It's been really bad for 1 year. Sutton was gifted Houston, Berry, and Poe and the defense carried the team for the better part of 4 seasons. Andy and Veach are looking at it much the same way I and many others did - when Bob had great personnel, the defense was very good. The openly said in the offseason that Bob wasn't the problem, it was the players. The players are still bad so they aren't going to blame Bob. Nevermind the fact that part of the reason the players are bad right now is BECAUSE of Sutton. |

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.

Our Defensive personnel is shit, but Bob Sutton accentuates the shit we see on the field. It's beyond ****ing ridiculous that this fool still has a job at 1 Arrowhead Drive.

This is out of context, statistically. In a few of our early games, we shot up to early leads and just hit cruise control while the other time racked up garbage time stats.
The other two games were against two all time offenses in Pitt and New England. So, while we are bad, the idea that we are the worst defense in history is laughable. |

The only games where we got early leads and cruised to victory were the SF and Jax games (both at home). All the other games were still plenty iffy in the 4th quarter (even if we were ahead). And kudos to the defense for getting the stops when needed, but I think anyone could see this NE game coming a mile away. It was just a matter of time.

All the other possessions by Indy resulted in TDs. Think about that one. So until we give up a TD on every single possession, the defense is not worse than 2003. |

Just out of curiosity, why do you only point to this one game? Would you claim that the 2008 defense was better than 2003 using the same argument?

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. |

If we play Brady again and get a strip sack and stop them for four field goal tries in the playoffs... I would take that over 2003. Do we focus on all the regular seasons wins in the 90's and early 2000's, or, when it matters, the playoff losses. |
