Post some interesting NFL stats for the Chiefs.
 

Here are a few I've read on nfl.com today.

The top five passing QBs in the NFL so far this season:

1. Matt Ryan
2. Drew Brees
3. Andrew Luck
4. Philip Rivers
5. Derek Carr

We've played four of them, and we've got three more against against them to go. We're 4-0 so far.

Dee Ford is 0.5 sacks away from the league leader in sacks.

Peters is tied for 1st in the NFL in interpections. Marcus Cooper (remember him?) is tied for third with 3.

Only the Redskins' Jamison Crowder has been a better punt returner this year than Tyreek Hill -- and that doesn't include the two TDs he scored that were called back.

Our offensive stats are pretty bad:

• Alex Smith is 27th in yards/game passing.
• Spencer Ware is 14th in yards rushing.
• Kelce is 41st in receiving yards and our #1 receiver, Maclin, is 63rd. Oy.

DOOMED

We beat 4 out of 5 of the top passing 2016 quarterbacks but we haven't played #1 Matt Ryan

Our offensive stats are pretty bad:

Alex Smith is 27th in yards/game passing.
Spencer Ware is 14th in yards rushing.
Kelce is 41st in receiving yards and our #1 receiver, Maclin, is 63rd. Oy.



The concerning part about this is we've played some of the worst defense NFL has to offer.

Efficiency is the measurement tool that I'm more interested in.
Total yards doesn't equate to success.

Points allowed per drive and points per drive is a pretty reliable way of assessing overall effort

. Ouch

Gonna end similar to most years under Alex and Andy, I'm afraid. Offense won't get it done in the end.

The second half of the season is gonna be better than the first if Ware and Smith can get healthy

I think it does this year. We have all the pieces. We were just starting g to click. Foles stepper in and we didn't have any noticeable difference.

Alex will come back and we will still be able to cruise along. I can see 13-3/12-4 and home field.

This is our year.

Uhg I hate the 13-3 record I don't see how that has ever got us through the playoffs.

Is it lime or cherry?

Margaritas on a Monday afternoon that's a novel of an idea.

Does this take into account that the Chiefs have played one less game than most teams? And, Smith, Maclin, and Ware have both missed a game? If not, these stats are misleading.

Meet you at O'Malley's

I think most teams have had their by week but we are into November football I think these stats are still alarming or not too good. You can watch games and tell our offense is offensively challenged.

Where in Salina? That's the only O'Malley's I know but I don't live in Salina anymore.

Last week was the worst offensive performance since the bye week. With four starters out (Smith, Ware, Maclin, and Ehinger), I can see why they floundered.

Denver nor Oakland have had their bye weeks.

.5 a sack beyond VonDouchebag, but he has only played 8 games. The cheating murderer has played in 9. Yesterday, before the Donks played, Ford was ahead of him.

Shhhhh.....we can't bring that up.

ROFL Had no clue.

There is one up by here in Yankton, SD, but it was the first bar name that came to mind, that's why I used O'Malley's.

It is also referenced in a song...

I feel like this is one of those rare situations where fantasy rankings do a good job determining value on the year. Avg points thus far:

I don't know, but that seems about right to me.

76.8

FMB - are you placing your meat thermometer where it shouldn't be again?

Posting an interesting stat. ;)

Nope.

Nope as in nope or nope as in yep, mister?

As in I harbor the same conclusion.

Yep

Oh I haven't got the gas money to come up to San Diego but thanks for the offer. I haven't had margaritas in years nor have I drank in several so I'm good anyways.

I knew a good Mexican Restaurant in Salina that made the bestest margaritas however it still didn't compare to that what you can get in Mexico. Them ****ers save all the good tequila for themselves and ship us the not so good supply because we are dumb Americans and they don't think we would know the deference. Well guess what Mexico I can tell the deference and **** you for hoarding all the good tequila to yourselves. You bastards.

The Chiefs defense has played 4 of the top 10 scoring offenses at this point in the season. They've held all of them below their season scoring average and currently rank 8th in defensive points per game at 18.9

that's fine. I just hope our offense can score 19, while playing some of the worst defenses

ROFL Geography is good

Is your yep meant to be a yay that he is now saying yep, clarifying his original nope, which was really a yep to your nope about this offense being good enough in the end?

Here's an interesting and tragic statistic.

If we look at career touchdown passes thrown for the Chiefs by quarterbacks drafted by the Chiefs, here are the all-time career leaders. These are also the only drafted quarterbacks who have thrown touchdowns for the Chiefs.

1. Mike Livingston - 56 touchdowns.
2. Todd Blackledge - 26
3. Steve Fuller - 22
4 (tie). Brodie Croyle - 8
4 (tie). Pete Beathard - 8
6. Eddie Wilson - 4

So for all of you who complain about Blackledge and Croyle, recognize that they are among the most successful quarterbacks ever drafted by the Chiefs.

16-2

Did someone say Brodie Croyle?http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images...e.jpg?x=331238

Our winningest quarterback ever if you don't count the on-field stuff.

MAtt ryan leads the NFL in passing?

Keep in mind that Brodie Croyle has retired.

Mid-nineties was when I was old enough to know what was going on. For obvious reasons I haven't been interested in learning that much about the 80's. I'm not afraid to admit, I have never heard of most of those men. What a stat.

I thought CP said Alex was a good QB because he wins? Those stats say otherwise.

Those tits are delicious.

0-5 SNF

There is nothing misleading about the Alex stat. The other ones, sure.

It's all misleading, in the case of KC football. Yards per game.. PPG.. etc.

We all must by now recognize and should be acknowledging that when the Chiefs get or have a lead going into the mid-3rd or so of a game, Andy Reid takes his foot off of the gas, and coasts. He chooses to do this, and relies on his defense and STs to lock down the rest.

Call it infuriating, ridiculous, and painfully boring.. but it has generally worked. It also can greatly affect any total game production and efficiency stats of the Chiefs' offense.

My concern isn't whether it's boring. It's whether that is going to work against good teams. If the Jags didn't have that replay go against them, who knows who the game turns out. Or if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot at every turn.

One of my biggest concerns is what happens when we go down early to a good team. If we want to go far, it seems likely that at some point we will have to come from behind. Whether that be against an AFC West team in the playoffs, NE, ect, I doubt we will be in a perfect position every 3rd quarter.

Hence why is never going to be nfl elite in the playoffs.

10 Home wins in a Row

16-2 last 18 games reg season

As has been shown already, it's likely to be a real concern and cause of failure, but it doesn't stand alone. It's more like an equation of:

coasting conservative + best players MIA via injury = loss

Now just maybe in this postseason, we can get:

coasting conservative + best players healthy and available = win


:shrug:

Good God I should say so

All of that is nice. It was nice to win 100 games in the 90's but what does all this mean? Nothing because we have no championships to show for it.

In pro sports there are no moral victories. The only team that matters is the one that wins the championship. Second place may as well be last at the professional level. We have seen our team do everything but the one thing they are suppose to do every once in a while and it's been over 20 years since we made it to the AFC championship game. That is truly hard to do from a statistics point of view. You'd think we would have gotten lucky at least one year.

Something like 9 or 10 teams have played one more game than the Chiefs - they aren't misleading.

Finally! You posted something that I agree with. That may just be your best post ever. Too bad it wasn't football related. Baby steps. Maybe next week you can post a sensible Chiefs related post.

Wut?

Has it ever crossed your mind that by winning more games you have a better shot at winning more games and ultimately winning THE big game?

Kind of hard to get to the big game without winning the other games.

So what does 100 wins in the 90's get you? A bunch of chances to get to the big game. It didn't work out.

That's kind of where I'm at.

All the "winning in the regular season doesn't matter etc". Yeah, we've seen it before.

But you've gotta win there first, to get to the playoffs. I'd rather win in the regular season than not.

We are 27th against the run in the NFL, 124.5 per game, two slots better than Denver at 29th.

But no one is even close to the horrible 49er's at a WHOPPING 193.0 YPG AVERAGE. That is unfathomable.

Alex Smith

2005-2010: 9,399 yards, 55.6% completion percentage, 51 TDs, 53 INTs, 67.3 Passer Rating

2011-2016: 17,892 yards, 61.7% completion percentage, 110 TDs, 33 INTs, 99.8 Passer Rating

Could be. Long way to go. Will that formula work 2 or 3 times in a row in the playoffs if we end up facing 3 really good teams in a row? Best thing is that PIT is looking more and more flawed as is Denver. We are going to probably have to be the team to stop NE. If that's the case, I don't think your formula will do it. Maybe, but I think we will need to be swinging a little more than we are shielding right now. Maybe that will happen in the second half.

Oakland, NE, and the Chiefs are in a class above the rest of the AFC right now. Denver is flawed as all hell.

Goes to show that QB matters. Thomas and Sanders have become ghosts.

Semenboy is an abomination. What is awesome is just how worse Lynch is than him ROFL

The best throw Semien seems to have is the bomb down the sideline to these guys. That's where he usually puts the ball in a position for them to help him out. Game could have been different if Sanders holds on to that pass. I think if you keep Semien from hurting you on those throws, you will keep him in check.

Holy shit. LMAO

What does posting Smith's career stats have to do with a thread about various stats for the team this year?

I'm looking at those numbers like the RCA dog looking into the Victrola. Are those seriously true? What changed?

It shows that late Alex is better than early Alex. Not sure what comparing Alex to Alex is meant to do. Maybe just be interesting.

Coaching.

Imagine if Aaron Rodgers had been chosen #1 overall and had 50 different offensive coordinators and head coaches, along with an untalented team and had been forced to start immediately, instead of sitting under Favre and Mac for three years.

That shoulder injury that Nolan forced him to play through robbed him of arm strength, too. If I was Alex Smith, I'd send a bag if shit to Mike Nolan's house every year for Christmas.

But hey, that's just me.

Basically, this. People will make their own conclusions on the numbers. To me, it shows that when you put decent personnel and coaching around Smith, he's pretty good.

The relevance, since someone asked, could be found in those last 3+ years.. since he is the Chiefs' QB and all.. and the last set of numbers is far more indicative of the current QB he is VS the first set of numbers.

Posts like the one I initially made of the numbers.. IS why I :facepalm: when people want to focus on career stats. Helps their argument, in a sense, but it's badly flawed when talking about the QB he is.. today.

It can be hard to judge numbers like that when I don't have perspective. I can see how Smith is better than young Smith, I can't see how he relates to his peers. I personally wouldn't have guessed there would be such a stark difference. I figure, looking at the stats you posted, that he will hold up on %, INT, and rating but be behind on the others.

Heres one that really caught my eye the other day...

CHIEFS ARE NUMBER 1 BABY YEEEAH WOOOO!

I wonder how she's aged... [emoji848]
