jonzie, how are Poes SIX sacks from a nose tackle last year average?
Like I said to Clay, lets atleast rag on the right people. |

This site is so ridiculous when it comes to defense. We gave up an average of 17.6 PPG last season and there were still people blaming the defense. With all of the rule changes that make it easier on offenses and a ridiculous pay scale that emphasizes QB play, it shouldn't be the defense that's expected to carry you. |

Apparently it takes 11 PPG against for the defense to make Alex Smith look good. (first 9 games of 2013) |

I don't know how you expect the defense to succeed when you start every game with several consecutive three and outs on offense .

I think the defense was very good last year. I think the offense should shoulder most of the blame for our lack of success. I think the defense was terrible in the playoff game two years ago, and so far this year they have been below average. They've been completely destroyed the last two weeks, and every time they had a chance to shut the door against Manning they allowed an 80 yard drive. It's possible to be bad at more than one thing at a time. The last time we were in the playoffs we allowed 45 points. The Seahawks won it all that year and allowed less than that in 3 games combined. |
Of course the other irony of this argument is we actually have a QB who's held his own in maybe the two wildest playoff shootouts of this decade. Even though he's clearly not playing at that level now.
QB's who've won a playoff game this decade when their defense allows 30+ points: Matt Hasselbeck Tom Brady Joe Flacco Andrew Luck Colin Kaepernick Alex Smith |

How many of those sacks came from when he was actually lined up at 0 or shade? maybe 1 or 2? A lot of those sacks that he got were from Houston and Hali forcing the QB to step right up into him. He was not an elite pass rusher last year, as he didn't create very many hurries himself. According to PFF he only had 18.. Guys like Suh Atkins Babineaux etc were all around 40. and there were over 25 DT's/NT's that created 15 or more pressures. Couple that with his run defense being below average last year, and that made him an average player last year. The guy got blown off the ball multiple times in nearly every game last year... He got his ass handed to him vs Green Bay last week. |

Chiefs' defense is on its way to being historically bad

We have one of the best running backs of all time, who continues to produce at an insane level year after year, and yet our offense consistently flounders. We've seen the All-22 of receivers wide open. We've seen him eat sacks in field goal range. We've seen him get delay of game penalties coming off of timeouts. We've seen him run for 30 yards in Hail Mary situations. We've seen him run out of bounds in Hail Mary situations. We've seen him stare down the rush with receivers open down field. We've seen him go a full calendar year without a TD to a WR. Cut the shit. It's the ****ing QB. |
