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

We allow 30 ppg. That's good, right?

If I recall correctly, Sutton's most productive defenses as a Chief were 2013-2014. That would be the same period where we had Poe AND Howard along with a still serviceable Hali and DJ. That should be enough for any D coach to work with, along with a few other players that I neglect to remember/ mention. And yet there was nothing particularly special about those units, nothing that really stays in my memory. Certainly nothing to warrant keeping Sutton over investigating some other possibilities. At this point I would not want Sutton overseeing a rebuild in ANY form or capacity. And I sure as **** don't want to have to rely on 50+ points a game to win against good teams either. Nobody wants to admit that this defense has become G-Rob II much less admit that it is headed to being even worse than that. Our supposed "backbone" in Berry/Houston has been in traction to the point where no identifiable leadership can be seen from anyone on that squad, and my interest level in their output could best be described as "sitting on the pot reading National Geographic".

I’m saying yards aren’t the best measure. Period. |

Stats are smoke in mirrors at times bud. They don’t tell the whole story. I think its important to pay attention to both stats and the intricacies of the game. Those are the true tell tale signs of performance.

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. |

Again, this is just a hypothetical scenario, but if the Chiefs were in the top 10 on yards allowed but 27th in points allowed, what does that usually tell you?

That the offense is terrible and/or turnover prone?

Correct, that's how I read it. My point is, I take the points metric over the yards, but I still have to consider the yards though.
That being said, the Chiefs are giving up too many yards to my liking. It just looks worse because of the fact that they are not getting much turnovers, compared to 2003. And unless they play Blake Bortles or a trash QB from the AFC South, turnovers are not going to come by in the playoffs.

The 2003 Chiefs, as bad as they were, forced 37 TOs, including 25 INTs. This defense is on pace for 24 TOs, including only 16 INTs. That's unbelievably bad considering what Bortles' 4 INTs does to the extrapolation. They have TWO INTs in 5 games. |
