**** The Official Chiefs vs. The Browns game thread ****

[DRM08]

Oh I know I’m just saying he wanted Mahomes and it’s obvious. Did you hear his comments on him weeks ago?

Yes, he really wanted him. Would still be coaching if he got Mahomes.

Hit knife through butter.

over 500 yards of offense

no one had 100 yards rushing or receiving
Our DVOA is going up after this one. The score doesn't do it justice for how thoroughly the Chiefs just dominated them in every aspect of the game.

I hope he becomes Cleveland's coach and Mahomes beats him for the next 3 years until they fire him.

I seriously doubt that they face each other over the next 3 years. Chiefs will be winning the division and Cleveland won't be. So that reduces the possibility to nil.

[Sassy Squatch]

So is pretty much every other defense in the league

Watch more NFL football and you’ll see it
We're a bottom 3rd unit in an all time historically bad field of defenses. It's not that big of a deal. As long as we eliminate the absolutely stupid shit like Nnadi jumping offsides and Hitchens running his mouth we'll be fine.

True enough. I had forgotten the Browns won't be good enough at any point to even face them.

But they're playing with a historically great offense. That'll inflate the numbers a bit.

These guys make plays from time to time. I'm not saying they won't be an issue in the future but they could be a hell of a lot worse.

[ChiefsFanatic]

It's because they are the king of shit mountain, mate.I honestly don't understand people defending the defense. It is garbage. And it is the biggest flaw on this team, and the biggest obstacle that could potentially keep our team from achieving our ultimate dream of a Super Bowl.

The defense has the potential to ruin one of the greatest seasons any QB has ever had, and certainly the best season a Chiefs QB.

As Chiefs fans, we have literally never had a QB we drafted play this amazing, and after years of watching retreads come up short we finally a legitimate Super Bowl QB.

Why would any Chiefs fan not be critical of the one thing that this team does that has the could end our season short of the ultimate goal?

[CaliforniaChief]

Getting Houston back will really help down the stretch. He just makes everyone else better. If we add Sorensen and Berry, that's even better.

[Buckweath]

I don't get it. The defense gave up 21 points, which is low. It had multiple stops. And it was robbed of a strip fumble sack.

If not for the bad penalties, I would have said the D was good.

[Sassy Squatch]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ODaniel looked like fucking shit from what I got to watch.

[staylor26]

You guys watching two “good” defenses in this Seattle/LA game?

[Imon Yourside]

Don't forget kids, Berry is week to week and close!

[FanOfRED]

Worst thing about this game. Now we have to wait 7 days for another Chiefs show. Go Chiefs.

He went back in the game. I highly doubt it’s that serious.I hope it's not serious, but he was limping off the field and didn't look happy. As a Chiefs fan I have been waiting for something bad to happen all year.

Well, something bad other than the defense.

[ThaVirus]

He didn't look like shit but I think this game was evidence of why we continue to trot Ragland and an injured Hitchens out there. He flashes ability but isn't ready to be a major 3-down contributor.

[JakeF]

It seemed like Reiter was decent against a good defensive line today. Anyone iso him against Cleveland to see if he has the potential to permanently replace Morse?

[ChiefsFanatic]

I don't get it. The defense gave up 21 points, which is low. It had multiple stops. And it was robbed of a strip fumble sack.

If not for the bad penalties, I would have said the D was good.If the Browns offense was playing great all year, and we held them to 21 points that would be a good performance.

But they were so bad that the HC and OC were fired. They traded away their best WR and one of their main running backs, and we let them, and their rookie QB, score 21 points.

Our fans are entirely too critical of the defense.

Defenses league-wide are pretty much ass.

Sure, the Chiefs defense has been playing better lately. Not great, but definitely better. Still, the Chiefs were ranked #31 going into today.

But not “historically bad”

No, the defense has gone from "historically bad" to just plain bad, which is improvement.

I just want to see continuous improvement, that's all.

[RINGLEADER]

I wasn't paying close attention to DOD the whole game but when I was watching him he looked a little lost at times. He's more of a heat-seeking missile on the handful of plays that have wow'd everyone. When he's reading and reacting he doesn't seem to be quite ready but I'd defer to others who watch the film more closely than me.

With today's game we're at 23.3 which is tied with the Chargers for 13th. That's using our scoring through today and comparing it to all the other team scoring before today.

We've had the lead, often times HUGE leads, for probably 75% of this season. I don't care about garbage time yards.

[RINGLEADER]

We've also allowed only 54 points in the last three games (17.3 average). That's number 2 in the league.

Doesn't really mean much but does show, for at least the last three opponents, we're trending in the right direction.

Well then by that argument they aren't as bad as their ranking because they have played a lot of good and great QBs the first half of the season (River, Rothlisberger, Brady, Garrapolo, etc.) You can't have it both ways.

[Basileus777]

Stop using yards. Chiefs D is #26 in DVOA, which is bad, but not historically bad. Chargers defense is ranked 18th, their defense is below league average.

[Lzen]

Ok, that's fine. They are a bit of an enigma. How are they so good at sacks and 3rd/4th downs yet allow so many yards? In the end, points allowed is all that matters. At that, they aren't terrible. Not good, but not terrible, I guess.

Defending the run and defending the pass are two totally different things.

We have definitely played some very good QBs and offenses. And you are correct that those offenses and quarterbacks have contributed to the defenses poor statistics.

But to me, our defensive scheme, defensive coordinator, and defensive players, really are as bad as Rivers, Rapistberger, and Brady made them look. They are not as good as Carr and Rosen will make them look.

As weird as it seems, I wonder if the defensive weaknesses complement the offense. When you've got an offense that pretty much scores every time, you don't care about giving up tons of yards and having the other team chew the clock. If you stop them once or twice a game, you're going to win.

[JakeF]

Our tackling is worse than I've ever seen.

Exactly.

And teams trying to beat us running the football is like trying to beat the Warriors with layups and mid range jumpers. That’s why they don’t run it more even though they have so much success.

As long as the rest of the league sucks at defense it's okay for the Chiefs to suck too, CP told me so.

Did you see him bitching about tackling when the Chiefs were clearly trying not to get a penalty when they had Mayfield wrapped up and were waiting on a late whistle?

Normally Reid will challenge plays or burn timeouts on a whim. Suddenly he doesn't challenge that non-1st down play for some reason. :hmmm:

Full half-yard difference on 4th and 1...literally a 50% mistake. Corrupt officiating.

You don’t build your team around defense anymore. Look at the teams who did that, Jacksonville, Baltimore for example. They suck.

Mahomes. Shotgun, quick release and mobility have taken away probably 15 sacks Alex would have had. Also steps up well in a collapsing pocket.

That unsportsmanlike penalty cost us a touchdown, I think. It was inexcusable.

the Browns dropped 42 on Oakland
Been probably my only on point take all season, glad to hear you say it too. We don't even need a good defense, just a defense that plays average - against a team with a good defense. We're getting our 4 td's a game no matter what. That's the floor with a Mahomes led offense. Just as long as - and I can't believe I'm saying this, we only allow on average less than 28, we will win almost every game. That's incredible to think about.

Looked as fast today as they have all year.

Schwartz was pissed.

In the post-game one of the Chiefs reporters asked him what the secret to their success today was and he said something like "I dunno, take a lot of penalties, miss assignments, put ourselves in 2nd and 30 and wait for an amazing play?"

It was a sloppy game by the OL but when they weren't shooting themselves in the foot, they were playing well. They had a couple of series early in the game where they were clearly trying to find their footing and some screens/excellent plays by Mahomes and the skill position guys bailed them out. I think they'd probably tell you that as well - Schwartz did.

But as the game went along, they tightened up quite a bit. I'd still like to get some reinforcements in the middle but the cavalry isn't comin' anytime soon so this is what we'll get.

The good news is that Aaron Donald would pretty much rape ANYONE we put on the other side of him - he abuses All Pros like they're UDFA rookies. So the height of the speedbump isn't really all that relevant.

It definitely wasn't an A plus effort kind of game, but when they go put up 500 yards I'm not gonna pile on too much.

It was never really in question and in reality was just a game they needed to get thru without getting hurt.

“Apparently getting a lot of penalties and getting 2nd-and-30s,” he said. “I mean, we didn’t play that well up front. We had a lot of penalties. A lot of getting us back and putting us in adverse situations. Obviously Pat is special and Kareem and those skill guys, so I think we’re going to look back and think about what could have been in terms of up front—cleaning stuff up, cleaner pockets, less penalties. We’ve got a lot of improvement ahead.”

He's not wrong. It was a 17 point performance if you don't have Mahomes and Hunt, if that. Smith and Ware would've struggled to get that to 20+ points and those are both solid players. Schwartz saw that for what it was - okay, enough to win, but less than stellar...

Great stuff.
Now, let's get the line shored up where it's needed, get our defense rebuilt into something special, and go destroy the world.

I figure if they taped him and sent him back out, it wasn't a real injury as much as it was just one of those things that Watkins seems to get.



Dude's a thoroughbred in every sense of the word, isn't he? Guy's explosive and powerful and dynamic and if he has as much as a hangnail he's probably not gonna make it into the starting gate.



Sure appears to be a fragile dude.


I love that he’s so great at RAC but sometimes I wish he’d just go down easy.

On one of the plays he came up lame, he was fighting for extra yards against probably 3-4 defenders plus the sideline. There was absolutely 0% chance of the play going anywhere and yet he was fighting like the end zone was a half yard away.

I know we all hated Arians during the telecast. Welp...

It wouldn't be a bad hire for the Browns. Arians knows his way around an offense.

I had no idea that Bruce Arians and Chuck Pagano were different people. I guess the fact that their names were different should have tipped me off. They just seem identical to me for some reason.
