I know we talk about it here, but I think that's one of the things that doesn't get discussed nationally much. When you look at how the Bills or Lions blow teams out, for example, it isn't just out-executing on offense and being unstoppable there and getting defensive stops.
Their blow-outs generally involve setting up some short fields with turnovers or just gaining extra possessions for their offenses.
Even at its best, Spagnuolo's defense does not generate a TON of turnovers. I don't know if it's the way they coach the DBs, the fact the DL tends to be a unit that doesn't focus on quick wins/instant pressure, or what. But it's a consistent trait.

Well the problem right now is that it used to be that we didn't get a lot of turnovers because we were playing a lot of man coverages that are difficult to generate interceptions with.
We aren't even doing those as much anymore it doesn't feel like and we STILL can't turn the ball over.
The lack of turnovers really puts a limit on what this team can do. Especially when they are so deliberate offensively now.
You're looking at 8-10 drives most games. Max. We had, what, 3 possessions in the 2nd half?
That said, none of that explains giving up 14 unanswered right after you FINALLY put together a solid drive to take a 13-0 lead. And they did it against the Raiders as well - got a two score lead, immediately shit the bed.
We keep trying to come up with answers and it just doesn't appear there are any. The Chiefs didn't need to blow out the Chargers or the Raiders or anyone else. They just need to stop this shit where they take a nap as soon as they start to generate momentum. You don't have to turn the ball over to prevent that.
