One thing is clear, Spags is doing a hell of a job with the defense.

Not crowning anyone before they've earned it but our DB group has to be among the best in the league once Sneed and Breeland are back.

It's letting Spags get creative upfront. We're now T-5th in sacks as a team.

can't wait to see what you do with it.

It’s been a long time since I actually enjoyed watching our defense

Spags makes the defense fun to watch

Got dat W!! That’s all I care about

Our schedule is just brutal

The Broncos, Jets, Panthers are the only "easy" part of the schedule we have. Geesh


Our offensive and Defensive lines better get their shit together soon. Even Schwartz has been struggling a bit. :(

I hate the ****er, but he made it a game with a team put together with duct tape and bailing wire.

Beat that Patriot ASS! Next stop FAIDERS! Then we NEED the win against the Bills! After that, the Saints are our biggest matchup - WE CAN DO THIS! :thumb:

D-line was great. O-line protected really well. WTF is wrong with you?

Lets be honest though. A QB in and Andy Reid offense gets 5 or so free TDs a year on those "passes" that are really just hand offs.

Mahomes still the goat but he had a real, real rough game. But that makes me even feel better about this team. No Jones, No Breeland and defense played great. Those corners and Fenton looked great. Andy or Beinemy schemed up two nice goal line gadget plays.

This team is becoming more and more of an all around team.

i'm not touching this shit show

it's not worthy of being remembered in any way

Mahomes has created this bad habit of not showing up against inferior opponents. It felt like he was barely trying there. Game should have been a blowout in the second period. Anyway, a win is a win.

They got much faster on D. Chung was slow and they just have all the parts they need. Their D is all about the secondary and they are still loaded.

Seems like Bellichek does a nice job scheming Kelce. Makes 3rd down tough

Tackling him all the time doesn't hurt either.

Not sure that defense is truly inferior.

What's wrong with you?

Our run blocking was terrible.

Our Dline tackling was shit and we got almost no pressure on the Patriots for 3 quarters.

They're all inferior opponents.

Dr. didn't set the hook deep enough on his mom's back alley 'bortion.

Our D is legit. Getting to the Super Bowl should be easier this time around.

Raiders twice?
Broncos twice?
Chargers again?

That's 5 wins there. Maybe we lose the Chargers game if we're sitting people but probably not if their post-season is over.

Jets, Falcons, Dolphins and Panthers? Should be wins.

All wins are tough but 13 there plus the Bills, Saints, Bucs on the road? We'll probably drop 1-2 there but as long as it isn't the Bills we'll be in great position for the bye.

Yep, we are 4-0.

One of those wins was against a division rival that seems to always play us close. The other three all won their division last year. They were the #1,#3, and #4 playoff seeds last year.

Way too much hand wringing in here.

Our run blocking is what it's been for a couple years. I'm sure them "getting it together" is going to make all the difference in the world. Our D-line was solid all night, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Do you have data to support your nonsense?

He puts a guy on him 1-on-1 and then has another guy come in a take cheap shots. Legal inside the box but still pretty cheap.

He’s ****ing incredible. Greatest defensive mind in the history of the game.

Mahomes “worst” game against the Pats is like Manning’s best games against them lol

Remember when prime Peyton Manning would throw for like 150 and 4 ints in his prime against BB defenses

If we didn't hack up those garbage points to Watson we'd have the #1 scoring defense.

I was thinking of Dont’a Hightower who is pretty much their QB on defense lining guys up. He’s probably their 2nd best defensive player after Gilmore, though you could make a solid argument McCourty is as good.

Bill just knows how to coach defense man. His teams always have new defensive players playing sound football. Dugger and Jennings are rookies and even played well.

I hate the guy but I respect him as a defensive coach

And NONE of it rubs off on anyone else. All his coaches suck ass when they go elsewhere.

I guess the good thing about winning ugly is it builds some character.

This schedule? The 1972 Dolphins are hiding under their beds.

Here here.

Pennel had a team high 10 tackles today. And damn, Townsend can kick the shit out of the ball


NO YDS AVG TB IN 20 LONG
Tommy Townsend 4 243 60.8 2 1 65

Sammy fumble hurt, just like last week's Thompson fumble... it got us out of the Mojo...

So that's 2 of the past 3 games against defenses smart enough to not blitz and just drop everyone in coverage that Mahomes has simply not looked good. Is that on Mahomes, on Andy for playing vanilla, on the receivers for not getting open, or something else? Sure a win is a win, but a team like Buffalo with a legit defense and with an actual competent QB could be trouble.

I think so.

Yep. That Miami game will be more difficult than it should be.

Yeah but then there is Russell Wilson, who has repeatedly torched Belichick's defenses. 1 huge play in the end zone of a Super Bowl saves it from being a 100% lopsided matchup in Russell's favor.

Thank God we don't have to play in "Injury Death Stadium" in New Jersey. That turf is evil.

I remember the overhead shot they showed when the Chiefs were in the red zone and there wasn't one guy open for Pat to throw to. Everything was blanketed.
The Pats always seem to have a new defensive scheme that KC is always slow to react to.

"Our D-line can't tackle" or some shit.

Wow the Chiefs only have one potentially challenging game from now until November 29th LMAO

Yeah we need to get this figured out asap.

Fine, but our run blocking was still poor tonight.

You think our tackling was good tonight? We didn't get much pressure until late either. Also not a question.

I don't see how you are disputing what i said. You may not like it but it's the truth.

Run blocking, tackling, and sacks(without Jones) continue to be a problem.

True or False?

miami will kick our ass!

Oh wait, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Nevermind

We need to stop pounding ceh up the middle on first down every time. Those outside runs are where it's at also need to figure out how to get him the ball in open space.

Buffalo, Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Atlanta are all good

Miami is also decent.

The Bills have one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL and virtually no pass rush.

Any thread for the other game?

You do realize if they run outside all the time, it will get shut down right? You have to mix it up.

Good thing is Buffalo defense looks shakier this season than the past. KC will definitely need to bring a much sharper offensive game against Buffalo, no question.

Yea but this was the first game they’ve actually ran CEH outside a couple of times and it worked much better. You have to find balance, but we need to run to the outside more than we usually do.

I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Yep, I'm not sure why we insist on running right up the middle so much. Let CEH hide behind the lineman on sweeps. It should help.

Wouldn’t call Atlanta good

New Orleans has zero shot against us honestly.

New England looked pretty shaky as well before this game, Seattle torched them. I hope you're right though.

False. Tackling (even on the D-Line you baselessly whined about) was fine. Yes, Sorensen, Niemann, and Hitchens largely stink, but the other guys are fine. We had as many sacks as BB's vaunted defense, even though the Pat's would prefer to not pass at all.

The obvious answer to stop teams from dropping every one back is run the ball much better. Just can't seem to do that consistently. I noticed Darwin didn't get any snaps at RB.

What the **** are you talking about? Outside of Buffalo the Chiefs remaining schedule is the easiest in the ****ing league.

It was about as satisfying as kissing my sister. Sure it got me where I wanted to go in the end, but it just felt clumsy and awkward the entire time.

Any time a team runs up the middle on a 1st and 10 or 2nd and 10 they are just wasting expected points on that possession.

Atlanta's defense is very shaky. down two safeties this year already

The Pats are 11th and clearly better on paper, not to mention ****ing Belichick.

The Bills are 27th...

we haven't been mixing it up though. I don't think we ran outside at all until the 3rd quarter. Let CEH hide behind the linemen running sweeps, he can cut it upfield anytime he wants. That should help our Oline with their blocks.

I think I'm done trying to explain simple shit like this. The inside run CLEARLY sets up other things. You get what you can get. With the 3-8 alignment, we probably should have run MORE up the middle, but I digress.

I love Clyde, but he missed some reads/cuts/holes tonight (and still averaged 4 per carry).

Is that whole paragraph about your sister?

Boy they're really pounding into the ground the fact that the Patriots had to play on the same day they flew. Didn't that happen to us not that long ago for some reason??

Aaron Rogers is so unlikable. Has a "please punch me" face.

Atlanta is getting worked and going to 0-4 your definition of good sucks.

Really? I hope you're right.

If Atlanta keeps getting people injured there might not be anthing left to play us.

Their defense is sketchy without the injuries.

They don’t worry me at all. Tampa is one dimensional. They can move the ball in the air but have ZERO running game. Maybe that game is a shootout but our defense is a lot better than theirs

So. We have to play 3 in what 11 days.

Atlanta will have given up by the time they play us. No way is their coach still employed at that point.

Buffalo has a dogshit defense. You even watch football, Jake?

Losers make excuses. Winners go home and **** the prom queen.

I would say there isn’t a team the Saints match up worse against than us.

Brees can barely throw the ball 15 yards.

Chiefs are currently a top 5 defense...

They are struggling with mega injuries right now. If/when they get healthy they are a "good" team.

Green Bay and Seattle are the best teams in the NFC right now.

Atlanta has that "**** this we quit" look.
