After the Chiefs ended the 2017 season with another frustrating playoff loss — this time a 22-21 home defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in the Wild Card Round — there was no shortage of potential goats.

One of the most prominent, at least in the eyes of some, was defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, whose defense blew an 18-point second half lead against the Titans and has surrendered an average of 186 rushing yards in the Chiefs’ last two playoff games, both losses.

But on Wednesday at the Senior Bowl, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he plans to keep Sutton in his role for the 2018 season.

“There’s nothing going on there,” Reid said, when asked directly if Sutton will return as defensive coordinator. “I know everybody has their opinion on everything, just like they did when they wanted me to bench Alex. That turned out pretty good.

“So (replacing Sutton) is not where I’m at or have ever been. I don’t listen to any of that. I do what I think is right for the Kansas City Chiefs.”

Since Sutton arrived in Kansas City with Reid in 2013, the Chiefs have ranked 24th, seventh, seventh, 24th and 28th in total defense. In 2017, they also ranked 29th in pass defense and 25th in rushing defense.

However, though lots of key injuries affected the production on that side of the ball this season (including ones to team leader Eric Berry and 2016 sack- and pressure-leader Dee Ford), and Reid has long made a habit of attributing the team’s shortcomings to the whole, rather than one individual.

Sutton isnt without fault, but a lot of their issues stemmed from age, lack of effort, and lack of talent this season.

Turned out pretty good? As in a first round home playoff loss? That good?

I too am focusing on Sutton, the certainty of retaining Sutton is ALREADY even worse news than the still long shot possibility that Alex is drawing 17M off our cap in a few months. But the comments thus far seem to take a different tact.

Andy Reid was more or less fine with Alex Smith as well. If we start Smith next year then that pretty much confirms that it was Dorsey who drafted Mahomes. Andy Reid would have been fine with sticking with Smith and drafting another position.

I figured they wouldn't move on from Sutton. They need to make personnel changes in order to get the defense right. John dorsey added zero defensive playmakers aside from Marcus Peters in his 4+ years handling personnel. I mean there are still defensive players on the roster making 10m that Carl drafted for fucks sake.

That being said, I am not very happy that fat boy interjected Alex Smith into the conversation. "That turned out alright" is a horrible sentiment considering 11 became the first chiefs QB in franchise history to lose two playoff games at Arrowhead. I will not truly worry about that statement until the league year opens. If 11 is still on the roster in the weeks leading up to the draft then I may start to abandon all hope in this coaching staff.

I'm okay with old man Sutton though.

I don't really believe that. We've had rumored interest in Manziel and Lynch in prior drafts. Reid has final say on this team, and I fully believe Mahomes was at least partly drafted due to Reid.

Brees was young and well on his way to becoming a Top 5 QB in the league when the Chargers chose to roll with Rivers.

And it's quite clear that the Chargers not only fucked up in their medical evaluation, they also fucked up because they failed to receive a single draft pick as compensation for a future Hall of Famer that won the Super Bowl just a few seasons after the Chargers let him walk.

So if we're done with the coaching changes, let's read into what Reid has done so far to fix our problems.

Defense, no coaching change - let's indirectly blame personnel. Offense - the only damn change we made was by strengthening our RBs coaching. Meanwhile we have a QBOTF and we lose 2 QB handlers and the only 2 guys on staff other than Reid to handle our QB are an Assistant QBs coach who was a former OL and a 30-year old quality control coach.

I'm picturing Walter sitting next to the dude shouting "Dude, are you ****ing this up?"

We definitely have to bring in some real players this offseason on that side of the football. Between the injured guys and hopefully absolutely loading up on defenders via FA/draft, we might be able to have an above average-to-good defense again.

I was already prepared for this Sutton news. Whatever. All I can say is, if you're keeping his ass, then he needs to be told to change some things. Primarily the stuff Pest pointed out.

Hindsight is 20/20. Dr. James Andrews has referred to Brees' career arc as the most remarkable comeback he'd ever seen, and admitted that he thought Brees' injury was going to be career-ending. The Chargers and Saints were the only teams to offer him a contract, and the Saints were the only team that offered him a starting job - that's how much of a risk he was considered to be after that injury.

Gross. Once he made it the week following the Titans collapse he wasn't going anywhere. Yes, his defense has big talent issues and some bad luck with losing EB but it doesn't excuse his horrific defense.

It is no excuse thats why I think he was out if they got their target. The timing of this is what makes me feel this. Not a peep till after the championship games. Someone was a target on one of those teams it didnt happen. Reporters surely asked before and got no answer but now they do:hmmm:

Well we know Bob can have a good defense with talent. He proved it for 4 years here.

Veach is gonna go hard after defensive players in this Spring.

The problem is he's not the same coach he was just 2 years ago. Sutton used to create a decent amount of pressure. He went from blitzing 28% in 2014 which is average to as of November this season blitzing 16% of the time. That's worst in the NFL.

What the **** happened?

We can only hope this is a short term brain fart. Because that is batshit crazy for a defense that didn't play well most of the year. If he's blitzing 16% of the time with new personnel we're still a bag of shit.

Hindsight is 20/20. Dr. James Andrews has referred to Brees' career arc as the most remarkable comeback he'd ever seen, and admitted that he thought Brees' injury was going to be career-ending. The Chargers and Saints were the only teams to offer him a contract, and the Saints were the only team that offered him a starting job - that's how much of a risk he was considered to be after that injury. To pretend otherwise is to revise history.

Brees's injury changed NFL AND College football history. Saban wanted him, badly, but the Miami doctors wouldn't sign off on him.


Saban goes to Bama and dominates like no other college team in modern history. Miami is close to garbage, and New Orleans won a superbowl.

The only silver lining, and I'm trying really hard here, is that this maybe signals the end for Smith. The Chiefs know they can't walk into next season status quo. So now we know they're not blaming the Defense. And from the sound of it, they know they need to beef up the D personnel, and they'll need that $17M to do it.

I don't know how much that explains being the lowest blitzing team in the league. I agree personnel is an issue. But I think our D carried us for years and this year it laid a turd. Either Sutton flat out doesn't trust the personnel and will revert back, or he actually thinks blitzing 16% of the time is acceptable.

We definitely have to bring in some real players this offseason on that side of the football. Between the injured guys and hopefully absolutely loading up on defenders via FA/draft, we might be able to have an above average-to-good defense again.

I was already prepared for this Sutton news. Whatever. All I can say is, if you're keeping his ass, then he needs to be told to change some things. Primarily the stuff Pest pointed out.

I hated his scheme in the Titans 2nd half collapse, but people get pissed at Sutton for things out of his control.

The talent on this team was extremely limited. We relied on Zombo, Sorenson, finished DJ, finished Tamba, Gaines, Murray.

Sutton will get one more year to prove he can turn the D around. Those last 8 games, even though they weren't against the greatest offenses, is probably why he's getting another shot, even after the playoff collapse.

If he can't get this D back to around 2014-2015 levels, then he's probably gone after the year.

He gets Berry back and hopefully atleast 3 or 4 impact guys from free agency and the draft at CB, OLB, DL & maybe S. There will be injuries again just like every year, so that can't be an excuse if he fails.

Knew he'd be back so I already accepted it weeks ago. He gets this season to get it right or he's gone.

I think that's a little overreactive. Sutton's D was plenty good for several years between 2014-2016. They were more than just late turnover machines. The Panthers game you're talking about, they pitched a second half shutout without Justin Houston. The D this year is a much different story. It's not the same defense he was running for years.

All of these veiled insinuations by the Alex Cult in defense of their man crush is pathetic. It's a shame that the true chief fans on this board have to put up with this nonsense until Smith is gone.

Yes, we know the only thing Smith is good at is protecting the ball. Whoop de doo. I'm sure Mahomes will be just fine protecting the ball while at the same time actually making plays when it matters.

People forget that when you score more points, it helps you overcome the defense giving up points. Not that it's ideal. We need to score and make defensive stops. But the idea that laying up instead of attacking when you have a bad defense is something you'd only hear in kc.

And by the way, I'm not laying this at Andy Reid's feet. He is obviously what he is and is never going to change. He's set in his severely limited ways. This is on CHunt, for not demanding more out of the team. This is complacency on the part of ownership with first round exits.

So we can now expect the Chiefs to be aggressive this offseason in upgrading the talent on defense with Reid implying that the issue on defense is personnel and not coaching (by keeping Sutton)?

That is a rhetorical question since we know the Chiefs more than likely won’t do shit.

Commitment to historical playoff choke jobs... that is good enough for Clark Hunt whose only success in life is the fact he was lucky enough to be Lamar’s sperm.

Since when is it the owners fault?

Clark Hunt has written some huge checks and doesn’t micro manage.

The team is constantly right at the cap.

The problem with this team is the injuries Berry and Houston got right after signing them.

If both had stayed healthy, this team might have made a nice run of things the last few years. Jmo

I think you're being generous to the underlying problems with the team. Injuries don't change that Sutton looked lost with his scheme this year. Better players in a lost scheme fix some warts, but it doesn't fix the problem. Reid lost a playoff game on offense in a way Philly fans know is typical Andy Reid. That Andy Reid's takeaway is that we should give MORE playcalling responsibility to Reid, and that our Defensive coaching staff should go untouched, means coaching is taking no accountability for the loss.

Reid reports directly to CHunt. You know what St. Louis did with Vermeil? Vermeil didn't want Faulk, he wanted to start Tony Banks, and he didn't want Mike Martz. The Rams front office pushed those things on him. Reid is running around like an aimless puppy dog on a long leash.

I wasn’t. But to claim it’s Clark’s fault is silly. The guy has opened up the pocketbook repeatedly over the last decade or so to get this team in position to win a championship and he lets the guys he hires do their job. If they don’t, he fires them.

He’s a damn good owner, imo.

He has written all the checks to keep talent in KC. Even when Dorsey wanted big signing bonuses to lower initial first year cap hits, Clark has kept the checks flowing. Especially in positions that aren’t capped like coaches and front office. The Chiefs have had one of the biggest and most expensive coaching staffs in the league and Clark has gone out and gotten the best GM available when he’s looked to fill that spot.

Not sure what else an owner can do to show he wants to win...

I don't doubt he has the passion. He's not solely responsible.

But he has a hand in this. Two consecutive regimes where his approach was to hire someone very experienced and then let those guys run up a ton of power. It's not a bad thing. But in both cases he's gotten railroaded by guys who took their power too far. We have a million years of knowledge about who Andy Reid is. That Hunt thinks the approach to managing him is to give Reid even more power... this is where an owner needs to put his foot down. Nobody wants a Jerry Jones, but the hands off approach isn't working. St. Louis went over Vermeil's head in ways Lamar/Peterson wouldn't. Arthur Blank when he hired Pioli neutered him and separated Pioli entirely from the head coach search. We don't do these kinds of things. And that's why we have offseasons like this.

Here you go, Boss.

What bothers me most? Ownership.

Lamar Hunt founded the AFL and hired a brilliant mind in Hank Stram. The Chiefs appeared in the first Super Bowl and won the 4th Super Bowl. But it seems like winning that Super Bowl mellowed Hunt's passion for a winner.

He fired Hank Stram, allowed the roster to become old and hired two uninspired head coaches in Paul Wiggin and Tom Bettis. He finally decided to go back to his roots and hire Marv Levy, he fired him just as he was turning the team around (and admitted later that it was his biggest mistake). He allowed a young Bill Polian to leave the front office but at least hired another young, innovative coach in John Mackovic, drafted a QB, only to fire Mackovic after the Chiefs first playoff appearance in 15 years.

After the brief Frank Gansz debacle, in which Nick Lowery led a player revolt, Hunt began to "Play It Safe", first by hiring Carl Peterson, then Marty Schottenheimer. The next 15 years, the Chiefs "played it safe" by hiring Gunther Cunningham, Dick Vermiel, Herm Edwards, Romeo Crennel and Andy Reid. Todd Haley was the only "inspired" hire but anyone with a ****ing brain could see from his time in Arizona that he was a ticking time bomb and in no way, shape or form had the mental makeup to be a head coach.

So, as the Chiefs traded for yet another veteran QB, while watching former coaches reach the Super Bowl (Cowher was the first, now Pederson), the franchise is a mess, the roster, even after 5 full years of Reid and Dorsey, is chock full of holes, leaving overpaid and old veterans with more than $80 million in Dead Cap money accrued during Dorsey's tenure, the Chiefs are at a standstill, once again.

With a Playoff Franchise Record of 9-18, 4 losses of which have come during Andy Reid's tenure, this team is once again stuck in neutral and has nowhere near a championship level defense in order to make a serious Super Bowl Run.

I have zero hope and zero expectations that any of that changes in the next 5 years and based on the last 50, it'll likely never, ever change.

I think that's a little overreactive. Sutton's D was plenty good for several years between 2014-2016. They were more than just late turnover machines. The Panthers game you're talking about, they pitched a second half shutout without Justin Houston. The D this year is a much different story. It's not the same defense he was running for years. We went from blitzing 28% of the time to 16%.

Anyone want to guess why we didn't blitz much this year? Oh yeah because the secondary ****ing SUCKED. They did not have the secondary to handle covering blitzes. That's a huge personnel problem.

Andy Reid reports directly to Clark Hunt.

After a second historic playoff choke job within a 5 year time-frame... with mostly the same coaching staff... the fact that Clark didn't force Reid to shake-up his coaching staff reveals a continued lack of accountability that has historically plagued this franchise.

Two of the three non-Chiefs teams that lost on Wild Card weekend made major changes to their coaching staffs. Teams such as Green Bay and Seattle who have been to recent Super Bowls made major changes to their coaching staffs since the end of the regular season.

Why isn't Clark forcing that same level of accountability on Andy Reid and his coaching staff after TWO historic playoff choke jobs within a five year time-frame?

As much as I disagree with the decision to keep Sutton, I can at least see their logic: We just need to get better players for him to succeed. (Which is true, although most of us agree they need both better players AND a new DC.)


I can't believe they think they can accomplish that without freeing up a lot of cap space, more than what a couple of cuts and reworked contracts can deliver. Hell, they need to do that just to get UNDER the cap, let alone go shopping.

The only way they can get sufficient cap space to help give Sutton what he needs to succeed is to get rid of Smith. So I can't see any logic in bringing Smith back. You need his cap savings, and it's easier to achieve that with his replacement already on the roster. Bringing Smith back just makes no sense for them. It's not about loyalty or performance, it's about sheer dollars.

I will be utterly gobsmacked if Smith returns. Not because I think he's evil incarnate, but because it makes way too much BUSINESS sense to get rid of him.


And again, my disgust with what Reid said yesterday isn't that he's bringing Bob back, or that he inserted Smith into the conversation. It's the utter contempt he had for the fans, the brushing off another playoff failure as just another screw that needs to be tightened. He was as cold and dismissive as Michael Corleone after he had wiped out all his enemies -- someone who had consolidated all his power and didn't have to answer to anyone anymore.

What keeping Sutton does is it puts tremendous pressure on Veach, too. KC cannot depend on improving the defense through Eric Berry alone. There have to be significant player upgrades, which might include a big free agent or two.

I was willing to let the defense rebuild slowly and count this as a gap year, but what Reid had done is say, "It's the players who didn't get the job done."

Okay, Andy. That's fair. Then fucking fix it. You can't just sit on your ass and let things come to you, otherwise there is zero accountability in the organization, and not even a franchise QB can overcome that kind of team environment.

I too agree that Sutton can succeed with top-tier talent. It's the utter inability to adapt to compromises in the talent pool that inevitably arise during the season that's the troubling part.

It's like those 'innovative' Formula 1 teams that come out every year with some new engine or aerodynamics package that promises to take the field by storm.

Okay, Andy. That's fair. Then ****ing fix it. You can't just sit on your ass and let things come to you, otherwise there is zero accountability in the organization, and not even a franchise QB can overcome that kind of team environment.

Hey now, he's been working on getting better for 5 years now.

I don't agree with keeping Sutton, and i'm sure it's been mentioned here once or twice. But keeping Sutton has to end the Alex Smith era in KC. There's too many holes on defense to address without freeing up much needed cap space.

If we keep Sutton and Alex Smith is starting next year, I will not dedicate my Sundays to watch the Chiefs. I know how this story plays out.

What keeping Sutton does is it puts tremendous pressure on Veach, too. KC cannot depend on improving the defense through Eric Berry alone. There have to be significant player upgrades, which might include a big free agent or two.


Dorsey had 5 offseasons to build this defense. He botched the 2014 draft, he botched a 2016 3rd rd pick, he gave us another developmental player that wouldn’t help us in 2017. The mother****er gave us Zombo as a primary backup and couldn’t replace Gaines.

This is John Dorsey’s fault.

It says a whole hell of a lot that in 5 offseasons, Dorsey couldn’t find competent ILB’s for the long term and Veach got a good run stuffer and another decent one in his first month on the job.

If I'm Clark and I sit there and listen to Andy tell me he wants to keep Sutton after two historic pants shittings....

I make it clear to him that if he wants to keep Sutton, then both Andy and Bob's asses are on the line now. If Andy wants to hitch his wagon to his boy, then he better prepare for major shit if this team misses, or get bounced yet again from the playoffs.

Nice thought. But, Clark already hitched himself to Andy for 5 years.
