This we would have blown them out even with shit D if receivers and backs held onto ball and cut down penalties first half.

Maybe, I don't know. I don't really care about what his actual ranking is.

I try to envision who I'd want before him, or after him. He's good enough that I'd take him before a lot of other QBs right now. Or to put it another way, If I'd been Vrabel at the beginning of this season, I'd have started Tannehill over Mariota Week 1. Wouldn't have thought twice about it.

When you score 32 points you should win.

It’s exactly what happened.

We’ve got Mahomes so here comes 40 points in the first half. They’ll have to throw the ball.

Failed on that one.

You have to think that Tannehill steals at least one of their close losses. Another win and the narrative is a lot different around these fools.

A favorable situation for the defense? Are you serious with that shit? The 40 ****ing yardline with well over a minute left?
Who on Earth couldn't see what was coming after KC boofed that field goal. That script has played out about a million times on NFL fields. We left them too short a field and way too much time on the clock. End of story.

There is no argument here. The Chiefs got the ball on the Tennessee 32 with 1:48 left on the clock. Their all world offense with their super genius head coach could not make one single, solitary first down. That's all they needed. They do that and the game is over. They do that and we're all here talking about how the defense struggled but stood tall at the end, how Clark made a play when it counted.

But no, we have team built around offense, and that offense choked the game away.

Does the defense deserve the blame?

Well ... when you give up 35 points to the freaking Tacks ...

John Wick Voice: "Kinda. Yeah."

As pissed as I am about it, that whole game was loaded with WTF moments, penalties, fumble return for TD, insanely weird shit on that botched FG...

...it was just not our day. We'll see if they can bounce back next week. We've seen this defense flat out play better for 3 straight games, then Goliath runs the ball down their throats...

I dunno. There were so many mistakes that are uncharacteristic of this team. I mean, one or two but the whole game? I hope this was just an outlier.

That's what I choose to believe. I hope I'm right.

Chris Jones for being out of position multiple times, including the long TD run

Defense gave up 28... just sayin'

****, stop this already. I am not a Jones apologist, you can see other post on here from earlier in the year and last year where I have been very critical of him. However, on the long play he was playing DE on that play, he has to check the boot leg. That's his gap and job. Rags way over pursued his cut back gap and was almost hip to hip with Hitchens over the top. This is what happened. Don't assume if you don't know football.

The only credit I'll give them is they were solid for 3 quarters and they made the stop that should've won the game. If our offense could get a first down or execute a field goal snap we win the game.

29 ... they missed the EP on the scoop/score. But who's counting?

The larger point is this; there is no damn way a decent defense gives up 30ish to the freaking Tacks.

And the way the Tacks did it was derisory. They pissed in our Magic Crunch, dude.

ROFL forcing a Tennessee team with a terrible passing offense and RYAN TANNEHILL at QB to go 60 yards for a TD with no time outs and 1:20 is a favorable situation for any halfway competent defense.

Instead the Chiefs defense makes Tannehill look like Aaron Rodgers.

Bingo.
