That defense has a ton of young players on it and they play a very vanilla defense so they don't overwhelm them. They have also lost several important players to injury. While the defense isn't good, they are actually better than before Quinn got there. Those defenses were beyond terrible (decent secondaries but zero pass rush).

I bristled at this as well.

The slobbering over the raiders makes me sick. We whooped their ass in THEIR house and the talking heads are STILL acting as if they're the best shit in the AFCW.

They play a pretty game....until they play a real team.

They've win what, 6 straight? They're playing well though

It almost has the same ring as those banging the Alex Sucks gong.

I think the Raiders are for real. Beatable by Chiefs??? YES!

Well, except for the fact that they are, at least right at this moment

Not one post about Alex Smith....until your dumbass brought it up.

LMAO

Music to your ears?

You know the way we moved that ball at the end in the 4 minute offense I think we would have scored to take the lead on the last drive if Berry didn't make that pick play.

And if Berry doesn't house the pick 6, I think they score on that one as well.

For all the 'only 13 points against a bad defense' talk, people are sure ignoring the 11 yards per pass attempt and over 8 yards per offensive play thing pretty readily.

The offense looked damn good yesterday and I'm absolutely confident they'd have driven down and scored if need be. Smith was pushing the ball downfield and making precise, confident throws. His reads were spot on all day and there was never a time where he didn't seem in control of that offense.

There was one thing that could've beat that offense yesterday and he was sporting a 72 on his back. For as many positive things I've said about Eric Fisher over the last 2-3 years, yesterday was a ****ing masterclass in suck. He looked like he was shaving points out there. If he wasn't routing Vic Beasley via half-hearted holds directly into Smith's spine, he was jumping early or missing blocks entirely on the run. I remember two different run plays to his side where he mis-read the play so badly that he literally touched nobody. He stood up and stared as someone blew through the gap and smoked Ware.

Fisher could've penalized/vapor locked us into a L somehow, but even he wasn't enough to keep the Chiefs clicking for the most part. They'd have scored on that drive.
