I would rather, with the personnel we have currently, just run a super aggressive scheme, bang hard at the time, blitz like crazy and take our chances. If we get burnt for big plays, so be it. But at least Pat and the offense will have more opportunities on the field that way and the defense won't be quite as tired in the 4th quarter of games.
The way to beat other teams with THIS Chiefs team is to simply outscheme them and outscore them. **** the defense and their pride (or Bob Sutton's). The only way this team is going to go on a Super Bowl run this year is to put it all on the back of the offense and trust them to make the plays in the end to win. If it works great, if not oh well, but then you better fire Sutton and realistically attempt to 'fix' the defense in the off-season otherwise they will be wasting Pat's cheap years, which will be the best years to be the most competitive and field a more complete team . . . . .

Nothing more demoralizing than watching an offense out up long drive after long drive on ya. The effort makes sense and bailey's comments seem to suggest that. I agree... We may give up more yards. Possibly more points. But a quick score gets us off the field. Maybe our defense knowing they'll be on the field in spurts rather than long stretches will help with some of the effort.
