If the run defense was as poor as you say they Chiefs would not be 8-5. You seem to have a common sense disconnect in your ability to reply to a simple question.

AGAIN: Is the Chiefs run defense better this year than it was last year?

The goalposts I set?

Here's my first comment:

I'm not going to get into the side arguments, but getting back on topic, he's right.

Our run defense has been pretty bad the past 6 games, not counting Seattle - they didn't even try to run the ball, 10-12 attempts at most.

Not a good time to face the 3 RB's coming up.

What the Chiefs defense did against the run last year has nothing to do with my comment. Nothing. At. All.

I'm not sure what part of "Our run defense has been pretty bad the past 6 games" you don't get. It's a fact. They've given up an average of 145 yards per game during the stretch I mentioned. That's not good. If you want to try to rationalize that because the defense is overall better than last year, be my guest. It doesn't make my comment any less factual, however.

If you want to get into a pissing match with Clay over something unrelated, fine. What the two of you are arguing over has nothing to do with what I said, I was simply agreeing with the idea in the OP - that it's a bad time for the run defense to have started declining. Nothing more.

You're wasting your time with me, Tom.
