They didnt have an offense backing them the likes of what the Chiefs now have either.
I would much rather see the team having to advance the ball by running, and taking more plays to try to score, rather than just lobbing the ball downfield at will, and scoring in 3 plays or less.
The Chiefs offense right now can put up huge numbers, and has been doing so for the past 3 years straight. As long as the defense doesnt consistently give up the huge play for the TD, the clock is on the side of the Chiefs. Trying to keep up with the Chiefs offense means that late in the game, the run is going to be tossed out the window, and the passing game is going to be counted on to try to tie or win the game.
Without a good secondary, this defense is not going to keep teams out of the endzone. If I had to pick, Id much rather take away the opposing team's ability to pass, and pick up those huge gains at will, and let them try to score by running the ball.
I dont know how many times Ive seen 3rd and 15, 3rd and 18, and watch the opposing offense go out and pick up 25-30 yards for the first down.
Im sick of that BS. Get some guys in to cover their receivers, and stop the pass.
