Chiefs' defense is on its way to being historically bad

Do agree with others that its time to start giving Wilson and Ford some serious reps to see if they can hack it. Too many holes in the defense right now. Hali has really fallen off, DJ is downright awful looking at times this year. Poe was brought back too early.

As for the offense, Alex Smith isn't worth a **** and the offensive line is so bad it just makes him pathetic. Can't block for the game's most explosive running back. Just a shit show. Defense is on the field constantly with 3 and out after 3 and out.

I mean, where the hell does this team begin to fix the issues?

About time somebody shows up in this thread with a functioning set of eyeballs.

It's a combination of many things.

-Sutton's dumbassery
-Not having our 3 best CB's on the field together
-Tamba slipping
-DJ slipping
-Dee Ford making no impact
-Poe being a bit overrated (especially vs the run)
-Muaga/Wilson not playing well
-Berry not being himself anymore

This team needs an infusion of talent at ILB as well as an enforcer at SS.

For years LB was the strength of the defense and team overall. I think that's changed. It's now DL. Jaye Howard might be our best defensive player so far this year. It's close between him and Houston.

I think that Derrick Johnson, while still an effective knifing player and great at avoiding blocks is a major liability in coverage because of how stiff his hips are.

I think he's been really overrated in coverage his whole career, mostly because he got a lot of int's on coverages that had him playing rotating zones.

we don't rotate enough defensively either. If you watch the Bengals they have two starting horses at DE but they rotate those guys and their defensive tackles non-stop.

Patriots are even rotating their O-line this season.

I dont think we rotate nearly enough on both sides of the ball, Maclin is left in the game when visibly fatigued

Poe is not overrated. He's just not at 100%.

This all changes THIS WEEK!

What these boys need is confidence and they will get a huge boost when they sack that pussy Cutler at least 5 times, get pressures and a pick six or two.

I don't even see Cutler finishing the game - they have no center, a practice squad player on his blind side and you know Cutler will have low blood sugar by the end of the first quarter!!!

I thought you guys were saying KC had one of the best D's in the league? Well they are one of the best in the league to score pts on. What happened?

That's what happens when they are always on the field!

Unfortunately that is not the problem. In the last game the Chiefs had the ball for 36:53 and the Bengals had it for 23:07. The D should have had plenty of rest.

Well they have pretty much been on the field the same as that crap offense you have or even less.

Hey dumbass if your offense is ranked last in TOP the defense will be the same.

[Chiefnj2]

Sutton has made some head scratching decisions, but at some point in time the players need to tackle, not get blown off the LOS and actually cover a WR.

If that was true that would be the case. Why don't you research where KC's TOP is and come up with your next excuse. Who is the real dumbass? I'd guess the guy just making up lies hoping to not get caught.

The defense has looked like absolute shit the past two weeks.

They can't defend the quick pass, long pass, intermediate pass, 3rd downs, run, and can't disrupt the passer.

Thank goodness the past two weeks were against two of the best offenses in the league. Not that you want to get manhandled in any fashion, but if that sort of shit continues against teams like the Bears and Vikings.. Well, then **** this team all to shit.

Considering their accomplishments the last two years, it shouldn't be happening against ANY team... I mean NO ONE expected them to look like this, not the Planet nor anyone else that closely follows pro football.

Sutton hasn't adjusted well the last two years, but it never caused this D to get curbstomped like it has lately.

We know whats wrong on offense, but figuring out what happened to the defense is much harder.

What happened on defense is that every HC knows the pass rush is coming and you have to game plan to get rid of the ball quickly.

After that you target our 3rd CB all day long...
