Chiefs Why is Houston in coverage? - Page 4

**petegz28** · 01-15-2017, 10:17 PM

2 significant plays on 3rd down and Houston is in coverage, not rushing the passer?

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME, SUTTON?!?!?!?!?

berry had a great hiy in on bell in the third

peters endzone
other than that nada

It wasn't 3rd and 5. It was 3rd and 3. It wasn't an obvious passing situation. I was a hell of a lot more worried about Leveon Bell than I was Ben. They neutralized Ben most of the game. Of all the plays in the game to be pissed about, this is so far down my list.

The offense on the other hand....

Yeah, that's a problem.

But when it comes to that situation, I'd rather go out fighting than having my best OLB rusher playing zone.

Not blaming Sutton, just questionable calls. But offense had way more problems/questionable calls.

3 plays. -1 yard. Punt.

Those drives were sequential. And the drive after that -1 yard leading to a punt also led to a punt after 7 plays and 29 yards.

To say this offense blew dicks would be a supreme understatement.

First one was 5 plays. the 3rd one was right before the half with 55 seconds left and they were essentially running the time out and had gotten one first down on that play.

Again, that's 3 3-outs. At least make your statements accurate if you're trying to make a point.

Trying to run the clock out with three straight passes? Ok then..

It was four three-play drives and two others that went for five and seven and couldn't even eclipse 30 ****ing yards. Who gives a shit? The offense sucked dick.

chiefzilla1501 · 01-15-2017, 11:24 PM

Anyone actually complaining about the defensive performance tonight....

Keep in mind that we lost:
Allen Bailey
Jaye Howard
Derrick Johnson
Josh Mauga
Justin March-Lillard

This defense was not supposed to be good after they lost Derrick Johnson. This was a much better performance than I'm sure many were expecting out of the defense.

I'm not saying that they didn't. Just saying that it's laughable that people are giving the defense a pass in this game when they only forced Pitt to punt one time and gave up a score on virtually every single possession.

I couldn't believe that last 3rd down. We sent 4 guys (and not Houston) on a play where they damn well might have run the ball, and maybe should have run the ball. He had all day. Hell if they ran the ball there they almost certainly would've gotten the first down too.

3rd and 3, fair enough. Still, I would had gone out, one way or another.

**Rausch** · 01-15-2017, 11:33 PM

The big play by Brown was a good call and not Houston/Sutton's fault.

We blitzed and got to Ben but didn't bring him down.

At most Houston should have been on Brown for 10-15 yards.

We hit Ben and just didn't bring him down...

Overall they played well. However both our offense and defense both failed in key situations. Even with all our fails today it still came down to a holding call which is the saddest part about this. And now, the year is over

Because "rigged".

Because the end result is generally all that's important. 18 points allowed. 18 points allowed to an offense that probably averages 28 or so.

That should win you a home game 100% of the time.

Like the offense can only shoulder a small portion of the blame for the loss in Indy, the same can be said of the defense here.

Allowing 170 yards on the ground to the best RB in the league when you're down almost your entire DL and LB is not something to be ashamed of

I am more pissed at our offense, who had a fully stacked deck completely shitting the bed tonight in all aspects of the game. I'm not going to get hung up on a defense that played gritty with what half a deck against an outstanding offense.

So you're conceding that this team doesn't have the defense required to win a championship. Even if we tonight, we lose in Foxboro or the SB.

The defense didn't play gritty, they played with their heads in their asses and got bullied all night long. Forcing 1 punt to 6 scores is not a victory, it's god damn embarrassing.

Points matter - not yards.

The Cowboys can't expect to win with their shit-tastic D allowing 34 pts.

The Chiefs can't expect to win only scoring 13 pts at home...
