Denver's defense is better than the cheefs

So is the Chiefs lead in the AFCW.

Being tied for first place and owning the tiebreaker isn't much of a lead.

It could go poof next Sunday.

you seem really salty

I see you down there.

ROFL you are beyond pathetic, Clay.

This defense and coaching staff has played without their best players at different times on several occasions the past few years and has still been good, and now that's suppose to change because DJ went down? Sheesh.

If anything, I wouldn't be shocked if our defensive stats improve from trying to compensate for DJ being gone. Bet that'll make some of the stat ferries on here real happy.

When a team goes into "protect the lead" mode, leaving "aggressor" mode, they tend to score less. Shocking.

And that's not necessarily smart. Just asking for teams to come back on you. Prefer to stay aggressive.

The D was top 5ish in yds allowed in '14 with no DJ. And that DJ was much more effective than this one. Not downplaying his contribution, but anyone who thinks this will devastate the team hasn't been paying attention.

It's tough, because Thursday night, the chiefs mistakes were the only way the raiders stayed in it. Had they stayed aggressive, you are giving the raiders about their only way to win.

Mostly, I agree with you. Thursday night, field position game is the way to play

Certainly there are times to be smart. I thought they were begging for the jaguars to come back on them. Same thing with the Denver game.

The turnovers after half is what stalled the offense Thursday. After those, we went conservative.

Stop the damn run. That is the big key to beating the titans.

Denver's tough, because that d is so aggressive and can flip games.

The Jags was a shit show but those happen over a year.
