I went ahead and put the only stat that matters in bold...

[jspchief]

Where do we rank in scoring D?

Obviously the pass D still has holes. But remember, we played all game without our #2 CB (Warfield) and half the game without our #1 CB and a starting DT. Plus, we took more of a "prevent" approach to D in the second half, giving up the short and intermediate passes in an effort to avoid the deep ones.

[Gaz]

Since points are the only criterion for victory, I am quite content with yesterday’s performance.

[dirk digler]

We are ranked 7th right now in total O.

1. Miami ROFL
2. Pittsburgh
3. Cincinnati
4. St. Louis
5. Baltimore :eek:
6. Jets
7. Chiefs

I don't quite get how Baltimore had alot of yards last night. They looked horrible.

Considering we allowed less pts than the Pats, Steelers, and Ravens.

Yeah, not a bad day...

[Saulbadguy]

Teams that allowed over 100 yards rushing = 2-12
Teams that allowed over 300 yards passing = 3-1
Teams that held opponents to under 100 yards rushing = 13-3

[KCChiefsMan]

I'll take that ranking on D if we allow an average of 7 points per game

[jspchief]

Teams that allowed over 100 yards rushing = 2-12
Teams that allowed over 300 yards passing = 3-1
Teams that held opponents to under 100 yards rushing = 13-3Great set of stats.

[KingPriest2]

Teams that allowed over 100 yards rushing = 2-12
Teams that allowed over 300 yards passing = 3-1
Teams that held opponents to under 100 yards rushing = 13-3


I have been paying att to that for the last couple of years. It always works out that way.

Same here

[the Talking Can]

Teams that allowed over 100 yards rushing = 2-12

excellent.....stop the run, all else will fall into place

[jynni]

25th > 31st

Screw Yards! I don't give a rat's ass about yard! You can run up and down the field all you want. If you aren't scoring it don't mean shit!

Cares about points and CRUSHING the pencil-neck, not total yards.

[teedubya]

The Jets were in teh Red Zone 5-6 times yesterday... once we play a team that can score in the redzone, it might not look so rosey.

Not trying to piss on the parade, because Im as excited as anyone... but the jets killed themselves quite a bit, and if Laverneass Coles doesnt go dropsie on those sure TD's... then this game is a different story.

I totally agree.

True, but not bad for a first game for a re-constucted defense. I fully expect Gun's defense to get better and better as the confidence grows, pride increases, and play is fine tuned.

I don't expect to see everything this defense can be until game 5 or 6. For example, DJ looked awesome, but I'm sure his game is going to grow leaps and bounds as he reduces rookie mistakes.

I would guess that you feel that the defense had nothing to do with the lack of scoring by the Jets in the Red Zone.

It sounds like you've given up on the team before the season gets underway.

If you watched the preseason you might have noticed that the defense improved (1st quarter) each of the games as they went. I see no reason that they will not continue to get better as the games progress.

[Area 51]

We're doomdeded.

If you listen to these guys you might deduce that very point!

[BigChiefFan]

Points scored is what matters. Our D kicked ass yesterday.

[philfree]

Let's not forget that we played most of the game without a starting DT and what will be our two starting CBs. Our pass D wasn't all full strength. Right now the rankings don't mean diddly poo to us. Th Chiefs just have to find away to survive the next three weeks then hopefully we'll have Suratin, Warfield and Sims all in the game and our pass D and overall D will be better.

Thats the stats I'm talking about...

[Warrior5]

Th Chiefs just have to find away to survive the next three weeks then hopefully we'll have Suratin, Warfield and Sims all in the game and our pass D and overall D will be better.

I'd say the unjuries to Surtain and Sims have the biggest potential impact, but then again, I'm a D homer. The Chiefs will need Surtain desperately against the Raiduhs. McMe-owned and Washington won't cut it, especially if our F4 aren't getting in Collins' face (which is why Sims is crucial).


...taking this season one game at a time.

[htismaqe]

The Chiefs, according to the number that matters most:

8th

2.5 yards per carry

[jcl-kcfan2]

Maybe I am wrong here, but it looks like the Chief's Defense is tied for 2nd in the league for points allowed, not 7th.

[Calcountry]

We are ranked 7th right now in total O.

1. Miami ROFL
2. Pittsburgh
3. Cincinnati
4. St. Louis
5. Baltimore :eek:
6. Jets
7. Chiefs

I don't quite get how Baltimore had alot of yards last night. They looked horrible.They moved the ball, just missed all the field goals because they don't have our studly redzone offense.

Yet another reason to abolish the Field goals all together.

Field Goals make coaches reach for the Cialis.

[Calcountry]

excellent.....stop the run, all else will fall into placeThe tackling was much, much better yesterday than last year. They were meeting the ballcarier SQUARE up, and flattening them.

[PastorMikH]

I can't help but think that if Surtain had played the entire game, our total yards and total D would have been higher. When he went out they started moving the ball more through the air.

[Eleazar]

We're 7th.

Points allowed is the only stat that matters.

[go bo]

Teams that allowed over 100 yards rushing = 2-12
Teams that allowed over 300 yards passing = 3-1
Teams that held opponents to under 100 yards rushing = 13-3ok, i'm not too sure here, but aren't there only 32 teams in the nfl?

2+12+3+1+13+3=34, doesn't it?

did some teams win AND loose (cp spelling) the same game?

[AndChiefs]

I would say the thing to remember here is that it is unimportant how many yards we gave up. When a team is playing from behind they are going to be gaining a lot of yards throwing trying to find some way to get back in the game. While this leads to more yards at the end of the game it also leads to more mistakes which was evident in the play of the jets throughout the game.

[go bo]

We're 7th.

Points allowed is the only stat that matters.yeah, but our points allowed is skewed because the jets got into our red zone like what, 7 times?

and only scored one touchdown?

imo, that was due in large part to the fact that chadbaby couldn't hold onto the ball...

coles also couldn't hang onto the ball...

take away their turnovers, drops and missed fg's, and they score maybe 7 times...

well, maybe only 5 times - our d looked pretty good down by the goal line most of the time...

[htismaqe]

ok, i'm not too sure here, but aren't there only 32 teams in the nfl?

2+12+3+1+13+3=34, doesn't it?

You got duped by the middle "passing" stat.

14 teams allowed over 100 yards rushing and 2 of them won. (2-12)

16 teams allowed under 100 yards rushing and 13 of them won. (13-3)

That's a total of 30.

Two teams play tonight.

[go bo]

The Chiefs, according to the number that matters most:

2.5 yards per carryyeah, i agree that's the best indicator for the quality of the run defense and 2.5 yards for a team with curtis martin, is amazing...

i think the run d might be ok now... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

and btw, welcome aboard... :toast:

(pay no mind to the old grumps, it's really a great place...)

[Amnorix]

I'll never understand the fascination with raw yardage.

Stats that matter:

Points per game
Yards per carry
Completion percentage
Yards per pass attempt
Turnovers caused
Third down conversion percentage

Stats that don't matter: Total yards passing per game. Total yards rushing per game. Total yards per game. These are worthless stats. They tell you just about nothing.

Bob Dole would argue that you won't see a lot of winners week-to-week who have fewer than 60 yards rushing...

[StcChief]

At this point who cares. 27-7. Great point about 2nd half giving up short yards.

Bend not break.

[Sam]

The best thing about the Chiefs D for me was the Jets 69 yard drive that ended on the Chiefs 2 when they ran out of downs.

Goal line stand!

True, but was the points against collumn that low because of the deffense, or because of Coles' 2 dropped TD passes, 6 Pennington fumbles and a left foot being asleep during a field goal try?

[AndChiefs]

Thanks for the welcome, I've perused and posted a bit on a few other Chiefs sites for awhile. Oddly enough had never found this one though. Look forward to reading and posting every once in awhile.

I saw someone post "bend not break" a few posts ago, (sorry dont' remember who) that is exactly the phrase that continued passing through my mind as I watched this game. Thanks for that.

[Wallcrawler]

Points allowed is really all that matters, and right now, the Chiefs defense is in the top 10.

Without Surtain and Sims for 3/4 of the game and with Warfield out on suspension.

Pretty good showing.

The 4 takeaways, 3 sacks, and a stand on downs at the 3 yard line were nice too.
