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

They were almost as bad last year, and homers kept saying none of it mattered because they were middle of the pack in points due to turnovers.
Of course it does matter in the postseason, against teams that finish drives and don't hand you turnovers. You can fatten up all year on the bottom half of the league but it doesn't work in January. Sutton will still have to be fired before the ardent homers will see that the problem is the personnel, and it's going to take a few years to fix. |

While I agree that the defense is awful, what does that say about, say, the Patriots? They allowed a rookie (yes I know not exactly a rookie, but close enough) to put up 31 in their house and damn near pull out the win. I think this has a ton to do with many factors, Sutton being just one:
Sutton's scheme The players are just not that good Our offense scores quickly and often, makes opposing offenses have to get chunk plays to keep up. NOtice how early in games the defense seems to do at least OK, but once we've gone up a score or two they implode. Not all offenses can do that, but with today's rules leaning toward benefitting offenses, more and more can simply move the ball better. The NFL wants it that way. Look a the vaunted Jags, "best defense in the NFL". They got raped 2 weeks in a row. I know the Cowboys are good, but they are not as good as the Chiefs, and they put up 40 on the Jags.

But what's more important? And if you're the NFL, why use yards over points? Because not only do points also matter, I think they're MORE important of a metric when evaluating total team defense. |

The stat should be yards that end in points.

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.

Dumpster fire defense. Unfortunately I don’t see how they can fix it very quickly. Will take several years to build it.
