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

Honestly, I think the 02, 04, and 08 defenses were worse than 03 (and maybe we're looking at it differently because those teams didn't make the playoffs). With 08 winning in a landslide. I honestly think we are headed in that direction this season. We have the offense to bail this team out but the NE game just showed what happens if the offense isn't perfect. Same, I suppose, with the 03 playoff game. A (bullshit) offensive PI call and a Priest Holmes fumble were ultimately the difference in winning and losing...even with zero punts/turnovers. I'm going off the eye test probably more than anything here. I just don't see anything that leads me to believe that this year's defense will be anything other than a complete trainwreck.

The 2003 defense forced 37 TOs, including 25 INTs.
The 2018 defense is on pace to force 24 TOs, including a paltry 16 INTs that is MASSIVELY skewed by Bortles. They've forced TWO INTs in the other five games. This defense is worse than the 2003 defense and it's not even really close. |

It shouldn't have to come to this! If I'm Andy ****ing Reid, I am on FIRE to get every loose end tightened up as fast as I can, no friendships or excuses getting in my way, because I am now in a position to make a run for multiple titles after YEARS of busting my balls in this league and waiting to get a generational QB to take my offense to the next level.

And I have not seen any evidence on the contrary that suggests the Chiefs have made any improvements or corrections to this issue.

2003 Chiefs allowed 30 or more points 3 times in 16 regular season games
The 2018 Chiefs have done so 2 times in 6 games |

That's.............hideous.
I never thought that could be uttered. Scary thing is it feels like the same kind of exit. Chiefs have a great offense, get beat by the Colts because they can't create a single punt, and DRob goes in and gets emotional with Vermeil, stepping down to save his friend the tough decision. Is that not what this feels like? Defensive collapse coming, ruining an all-time offense, followed by Sutton stepping down to save Reid from the tough decision? |

And the fact of the matter is that a different coord with a more aggressive philosophy, one willing to hold feet to fire, could have taken the "Veach shit-sandwich" and done better than rankings in the ****ing 30's. You have to be VERY apathetic as a coach to let that happen.
