Why are so many dissing our improved defense?

Obviously, it still needs work. Not there yet. But, cant you see the improvement? They are maintaining their gaps instead of free lancing. They are not figuring out what to do in pre-snap. No more confusion. They know their job at least.

In today's NFL, they don't hit each other other, tackle in training camp anymore. They play few snaps in the pre-season games. It's a new scheme. Lots of new starters. I see a defense that is taking shape. Go look at the breakdowns of the defense from last year to the first two games. It's telling.

Without a great corner its not going to be a top 10 defense. But, its already made it from one of the worse to the 19th ranked defense in the NFL. Haven't the majority on here said all off season that we just needed a middle of the pack defense to make a Super Bowl?

We are going to have at least a middle of the pack defense. People need to chill. Start panicking at mid-season at least.

I don’t get it either, the progress is easy to see and should only get better with time as everyone gets more comfortable with each other, and the scheme

We haven’t gone from the worst defense to the 85 Bears overnight. Because of that it hasn’t improved. We do need to upgrade our corners though as this defense would have been good enough to win a SB with before NE got Gordon reinstated for like the 5th time and signed AB.

Chris Carter believes that the Chiefs Defense is terrible no matter the progress, he's deadset comparing KC to the '98 Vikings because of their horrific Defensive corps.

We got sliced and diced by a dude who is most known for doing stretches in his jock strap and having a porn company salivating over him because of it. There's potential there but these guys haven't done shit against a potent offense yet. Sunday is their chance to prove doubters wrong.

I think it's our inflated YPC on defense

Statistically, we're one of the worst in the league but that is completely overblown as most of the big runs have come in garbage time.

If you focus on the first half runs Fournette and Jacob's YPC is around 4.0.

because we had large periods of time where we were gashed in both games and had to adjust. We need to be gashless - we're on a short leash w/ the critics and maybe rightfully so...

It's not going to get any respect until they play well against an offense that's good.

Hold Baltimore under 350 yards and 20 points, and I bet people will START giving them some respect.

You gotta earn that shit. Kc hasn't proven anything against the Jags and Raiders. Just like putting up some decent (not good) offensive numbers against terrible defenses isn't going to wow anyone.

If you believe in the defense, who gives a shit what pundits are saying after two games? Moreover, would YOU give the Chiefs the benefit of the doubt in this regard if they were NOT your team?

Everyone can talk about Jacksonville and a rookie QB but we held Oakland to 50 yards less than Denver did. And Denver's defense is supposed to be good. Right?

I know 2 game is not a good sample size. Time will tell. Plus, I think this defense will get better as the season progresses.

We're in a special position because of our Offense. We don't need a top 10 defense to win the superbowl. We need them to be somewhere in the teens to lower 20's. My buddy and I always say we just need them to old our opponents scoring under 20 and our chances of winning will be ridiculously high. So far this year, other than 2 garbage time TD's vs. Jacksonville, they have held our opponents to 13 and 10 points. Compared to last year, if that is not improvement, I don't know what is. We will definitely learn more on Sunday.

It's clearly better.

There is still a lot of work to be done cleaning things up, but the glaring mistakes are far fewer and further between.

Thornhill's bitten on some fakes that have created some big plays. Jones got out of his lane and let that big Jacobs run go down.

But overall, it's much, much better.

Hitchens has looked pretty good too, I think it's worth mentioning.

I expect we'll see some sacks this week as Jackson's not a 'get the ball out in 2.5 seconds or less' kind of guy.
