Rich Baldinger says Romeo Crennel's D looked confused.

He killed the defense on his tape breakdown on Metro Sports. He killed the offense too. He would show the confusion between the LB's (Johnson, Belcher, Vrabel) and the safeties (Berry, McGraw). He showed how McGraw would have Heap and Johnson would have Rice and when the ball was snapped they would run into each other and Heap would come free. The crux of what he was saying is that good players break away from the coaches scheme when they see something that isn't working and go to the sideline and tell coach why they did what they did.

He said the scheme wasn't working but none of the players on the field made any adjustments on their own.

Baldy usually knows what he's talking about. But its tough to lay this game on the defense when we had 8 1st downs and 18 minutes TOP and 5 TOs.

He wasn't laying the loss on the defense, he was simply pointing out obvious breakdowns in the scheme. He broke down the defficiencies on offense as well, like the 4 & 1. he exposed Weigman's improper technique and the fact that Pope didn't even know who he supposed to be blocking. We sucked on both sides of the ball equally.

Aside from the free pass KC gave Heap, I though the Chiefs' D played respectably considering the O held the ball just 18 minutes...

That's a pretty huge aside.
