Exactly. People just don't get it. They don't understand that these soft zones are the equivalent of a tourniquet on a femoral bleed.

Blitzing 5-6 every down is a recipe for a quick death...

So what is Ford's status?

Would be nice to have him go against Bolles Monday night.

At this point every POS on defense should be giving their game checks to the offense. They're all worthless and don't deserve to be paid.

Dude, they just don’t get it. I’ve given up trying to get them to understand this.

Seem to recall reading this morning he's having an MRI.

So stop playing prevent zone when we're up 35-10. And when the other team hits two big plays in around 7 minutes and all of sudden it's 35-24? It's common ****ing knowledge that when you have THAT big of a lead that you sit back and let them have the underneath shit. Your defense has to actually tackle and cover though. Guys running wide open are because players like Eric Murray aren't smart enough to know where they need to be.

Just do what was working prior. Did just fine against the Steelers after they raped it in the 2nd quarter and we went back to what was working. Shit goes sideways and they get a quick score? Have faith in Mahomes. We aren't hamstrung by Smith anymore.

Then how do you explain the stat about how much better they play when up by a single score as opposed to when they're up by multiple scores? There is clearly something off in either the playcalling and/or the players' mindset or effort based on the score of the game. Clearly we are lacking in talent, but I also don't think the coaches are entirely innocent. They are not putting the players in the best position to succeed.

And you can keep doing that....but eventually the offense will find a way to counter that. There has to be a happy medium with the defense.

Earl Thomas

We have 1 turnover thus far is that right? Winston thinks that sssthickening...

Just hoping it isn’t long term. We can beat Denver without him. Jacksonville and NE would be much tougher.

The problem is teams arent starting the game airing it out. They are running the game plan they practiced all week which is more balanced.

Once the Mahomes Show puts them down a few scores...it goes out the window and they are in desperation mode. Unfortunately, since KC is down both safeties....it plays right into their defensive weakness.

Chiefs have played decent defense for the first quarter and half...then it goes to shit.

I know one thing everytime i see that 3 man rush I know bad things are gonna happen...

But occasionally when selectively blitzing they actually do get pressure, and then CP says SEE! We should be blitzing every down!
