Nope. Stats are stats and don't lie. They are what they are. What you meant to say was "they don't tell the whole story in full context".

Doubt not The Human Trebuchet, Mr. DRM08. Simply enjoy the show. This is a truly generational cast of performers. Mahomes, Tyreek, Sammy, Kelce, Hunt, Spencer, and Conley are a burgeoning, brewing cloud of supernatural destruction about to rain down on the gays. FAX |

It’s easy to see why the defense is giving up points. It’s because they are literally on the field all game long and opposing offenses have to pass bc they are in the hole early.
The average throws a QB makes in a game is usually around 30-35.Rivers threw the ball 51 times. Big Ben through it 60. That’s why the stats are so bad. That happens when Tyreek is taking punts to the house, ST’s is giving your high powered offense a short field and your offense starts a normal drive at the 30 and still scores in 5 plays. Seriously this stat is insane. The Chiefs have had 23 offensive drives in 2 games. Only 3 of those drives consisted of 7 or more plays. My God. For 90% of the offense’s in this league, 7 plays is simply 2 first downs.

The point was this; we haven't had a ton of third down plays. It's almost as though we don't need the chains when the offense is on the field. It's first to first, unless we run it a time or two. Everything is downfield so far. Wally loves to attack, so he has to be shivering in ecstasy with every call. But the weird part is that, since Wally loves the horizontal game in the form of bubbles, sweeps, etc. (the WCO uses it to spread out the enemy). This manifestation of Wally's crazy brain is using the empty backfield spread (out of motion) to accomplish the same thing but threatening the deep field first. You need unique talent to do that in the NFL. FAX |

Bend and sometimes don't break maybe the only kind of Defense we can have. Then again We won't be playing against Rapelisberger or Rivers every week.

But I will say for the Chiefs defense at least they have faced HOF quality quarterbacks the last two weeks and they were also road games. That's not easy to shut down QB's of that quality on the road. I will be curious to see if Eric Berry can make a big impact. Hope he comes back soon. In the case of Tech's defense, we legitimately were the worst ever. It wasn't just guys like Mayfield at OU that torched us. Even scrub QB's were torching us, lol |

Also we’ve played 2 prettt good offense. And both of their O lines have been allowed to hold by the refs for a good majority of the plays. Also our offense scores pretty quick and has led to our D being on the field for extended periods of time, no Berry hurts too. Once we get past this murderous row it should get easier for them.

I should also like to add that every single one of The Human Trebuchet's games has been played on the road. Interestingly, that means that all of our defensive players' games have also been played on the road. Arrowhead used to have an impressive and significant home-field advantage. My fervent hope (Mr. milkman, could you check my usage of 'fervent' here?) is that we will recapture the magic. Wally loves him some sea of red and if the crowd brings it tomorrow, the gays have absolutely no chance in hell of keeping it close. FAX |

No one needs to see a 9 minute TD drive and our D completely gassed at the end of it. |

Bob Sutton's defense is suspect because there's literally 3 legitimate starters, a few role players, and bunch of crap. Were you going to fire Sutton before or after he field 2 of the best Chiefs defenses of the last 30 years? |

In most preseason projections, the Chargers and Steelers were the 2 teams from the AFC that were picked for the Super Bowl. Our D has been crap, but we also just played what are statistically two of our 4 hardest games (with LA and NE the others). Our D is shit right now. Berry (if he ever plays) will help, but won't solve the problem, but our D isn't as bad as it seems based on who we played. With Sutton, we should assume we will always be at the bottom on D, so none of this is a surprise, but the stats will improve.
