Spags does it again
 

20 points allowed
Lawrence three for only 90 yards in his first 23 attempts (3.91 avg)
Tackling was solid
Blitzes were very good including the Reid blitz that on the Watson pick play

He did this with 5 rookies playing a lot of snaps today. Just a remarkable performance from his defense

That dumbass decibelup told me he sucked???

Other than a few miscues and still needing to clean up those 3rd and longs, I'll give Spags and the defense it's due. Great job!

Very impressed by the D. It’s hard to believe we have that many rookies contributing. Spags is like most DCs. He has a good scheme, but can be beat. Lucky for him he has a God at quarterback and HC to help ease the strain! Anyone bitching about him, must not remember the Sutton years! Could we do better?? Most likely, but we could do a hell of a lot worse too. He hasn’t lost us a game by himself that I can remember.

I can't believe this is even a discussion the defense won this game

That was phenomenal.

Credit to Blaine Vladovich as well. Imagine drafting Jaylen Watson and Isiah Pacheco in the 7th round. The same 7th round. In one draft.

We will win many games. Many, many games.

I wonder if they go home with a New England accent at the end of practice

We lost Engram late in the game on 3rd down, but otherwise looked pretty damn good.

...made adjustments, bounced back from mistakes. They did their job well. If not for a Mahomes injury, KC likely wins big (14+).

Not a slight to Henne, he did his job well; I think we would have scored a TD on at least one of the 3rd quarter drives.

I officially believe that Playoff Frank Clark is a real thing. It’s happened too many times to be a fluke.

Spags knows what he's doing.

He can dial up a good game plan in big moments. He seems better at managing these do or die games.

You can't complain about holding a team to 20 points. You can acknowledge that a guy randomly letting the ball slip out of his hands at the 3 yard line was a big part of allowing it to happen.

Also, today it seemed the refs let them play ball. I don't think I saw a questionable call. And I don't think a DPI was even called on our secondary.

Sure, and you can also acknowledge that 2 big KRs were a big part of allowing them to get 20.

We had guys running across the middle wide open way too often. We got away with it against the Jags but we need to change the scheme against both the Bill or Bengals. They will abuse us with it.

Not really thrilled about George in coverage on their number 1 in the RZ, but they sure made a statement in the second half.

i tried to warn you america

Eh, the first return got them to the KC 40. They ended with a TD. D could have held them to a FG. 3 points from the return, 4 from the D.

The second big return was the drive they fumbled, so that one didn't get them anything.

You can also acknowledge the Jags got 10 other points off massively short fields.

The fumble was a karmic football deity evening the balance because Dave Toub's units are determined to bring us down SOMEWAY.

Hat tip.

Your entire point was based around that drive though...

spags was lights out

lights ****ing out

get outta here

Yeah this was a good game for the D. A couple plays allowed here and there but they kept us in the game when they needed to.

That 2nd kick return got them to their own 45. We're blaming it on an extra 20 yards if the D gives up a TD?

Karlaftis in single coverage on Christian Kirk, leading to yet another redzone td.

Defend it.

Point of fact, the catch and fumble of the football down at the 3 was the Jaguars stopping themselves. Otherwise, that's likely another redzone score surrendered.

Can't defend the redzone, and once again, a baffling 3rd and 10 with NOBODY in the area code of the sticks.

Spags is as shit in the redzone as Andy is on 3rd and 1. It's hilariously terrible.

This was a 9-8 Jaguars team coming into Arrowhead and capitalizing in the redzone as easy as shitting water.

If you believe this is good enough to beat Buffalo or Cincinnati, you're in for some bad news.

Nobody said we were going to shut anyone out, right. So it's not THAT they scored, but HOW.

Karlaftis in single coverage on Christian Kirk, for a TD.

In games that come down to one score, you can't be this ****ing reeruned. It's not the time to let George try his hand at corner.

That might be the dumbest call I've seen since the zero blitz on 3rd and 27 at Cincinnati.

Chiefs LITERALLY DEFENDED THE RED ZONE TO WIN THE GAME ROFL

:LOL:

It’s explained in the gdt

It doesn’t matter because you don’t like anything.

I said it in the GDT and I’ll say it again here. The fact that some of you idiots can’t understand that 31 other coaches can scheme up shit shows how borderline reeruned you are.

Wait. Aren’t you the guy who wants to fire Andy Reid?

Yea, that’s a huge gaffe not made but the Chiefs.

The Chiefs held on to the ball, took some serious shots too. Skyy Moore got lit up but held on to the ball. Games turn on plays just like that. The Chiefs had none of those plays.

When is the last time you made a woman cum?

LMAO

Not "blaming it" but good field postion is good field postion. When you give a good offense field position like that, you are making it much harder on your defense.

Yeah if I'm pointing fingers it's at STs, again. There were some plays we got out coached, a few bits of poor execution, and a few general areas of weakness - as kccrow said elsewhere, poor LB coverage over the middle and the safeties coming up to shut down dump offs late. But that was obviously prioritising stopping explosive plays. Some bad play but also a lot to like given how young this D is.

Absolutely OP.

Great game by Spags! It was impressive! Jags could never get much going.

Scoreboard

I’m not sure you really understand how football actually works. You are aware what a schemed mismatch is arent you? They made The right call and formation against the right defense and that’s what happened. Shit happens both teams get paid and we do that shit to teams all the time. Stop crying about 1 ****ing play.

credit Doug Pederson on that.

There are 'rules' if you will to any coverage. If an OC is really smart, they can figure out how to exploit it by forcing a mismatch.

Pederson caught them on a zone blitz there and won the X's and O's.

I’ve said it before, people need to stop caring so deeply about spags’ early season performance. Just accept that he’s a late season guy and that’s not a bad thing given our head coach and qb.

Do you actually think that Spags called in the play and said- "Ok, George, you've got Kirk!"

See, you think you've made this pithy and smart argument but you've actually just exposed how little you actually understand football and what you're looking at.

What happened was, Doug Pederson had the perfect play called schematically against a zone blitz. It happens.

We live and die by the blitz, because we have problems generating a consistent pass rush with four.

Sometimes those blitzes work perfectly and create big plays like Sneed sacks, or the Watson INT late in the game yesterday.

Sometimes the offense has the perfect scheme dialed up against a zone blitz and you end up with George trying to cover Kirk. It's not what anybody wanted, but there's always a risk that you can get a mismatch if the offense has just the right play called.

That's fine against the jags. Either of the upcoming teams will rip them apart playing like that.

I was told that Chris Jones sucks because he has 0 playoff sacks though.

It was so nice.

No you're the guy who can't read.

Quote where I posted Reid should be fired.

Saying that I would not be surprised if an Andy Reid team favored to win a post season game lost the game is not tantamount to "fire Andy Reid'. The guy gets you a shot. Who would say no to a shot?

However, Andy Reids legacy is built upon pant shitting in the biggest of games, so this is not an unreasonable thing to consider. After all, he's lost more games as the favorite than any other hall of fame coach.

So to go into a game with full understanding that it means exactly Jack and shit to be the favored team under Andy Reid is a pretty reasonable position, and in no way calling for the replacement of Andy Reid. It's simply knowing that hey, you might see some shit today.

Perhaps your hands should occupy themselves with more constructive activities, rather than posting to confirm your inability to comprehend and retain information.

Maybe try fisting yourself.

spags haters still grasping at straws?

a true test hasn't even happened yet

personally, I'm still gonna judge him by the next two games (as has been talked about for weeks)

lots of mistakes and luck in the last game vs. the worst playoff team & #10 offense

I tell you guys every year that you are darn fortunate to have Spags. He is one of the best in the business. I wanted him badly, but Gruden stuck with PG I.

Meanwhile, I am stuck with the Graham Cracker Defense.

Spags has had lots of true tests over the past few years. But people seem more obsessed about regular season wins with bad defensive play and ignore that the defense has been solid pretty much his entire run with this team.

I don't keep track of the trolls and fans of other teams, so maybe someone else can answer this for me -- is this guy really a Chiefs fan? I'm guessing not. In fact, I'm certain he isn't.

PTSD flashback of Justin Houston one-on-one with Antonio Brown 50 yards downfield.

Spags has his problems as a defensive coordinator, and always has when he doesn't have a dominant front four like he had with the Giants (who wouldn't, really), but we're going to our FIFTH titty****ing AFCCG with him calling the defense using an absurdly high number of rookies (and putting them in positions to win) while doing it. Sorry not sorry he's not Jim Johnson coaching those early 00's Eagles defenses.

Same thing, though. Only in a straight 3-4, one of your outside backers will have coverage duties on any given play.

At least with Spags, it was a zone blitz, so you had a shot at getting a quick sack or pass disruption.

Grandpa Bob just lined up in the exact same play-call every down, rotating the OLB pass rushers.

Let's face it, no matter the caliber of coach, you still need the horses. It is not one or the other.

Thing is, if you liked that Watson INT, then you have to accept the Karlaftis coverage mismatch.

Because both happened due to a blitz scheme.

Spags is a gambler, but I argue that he doesn't have a lot of choice, he has to because we're so inconsistent with rushing 4.

Sometimes the blitz works, and Sneed or Reid or someone gets a sack, or Watson gets the INT on the ball thrown earlier than the QB wanted. Sometimes the offense has just the right play called and you get Karlaftis trying to cover Kirk.

It's the risk.

But I'll say again: 5 rookies in your top 12 defenders.

Spags has done an incredible job this season.

And credit to where it's due - it was a great play call by Pederson putting Christian Kirk in the backfield knowing Spags had a tendency on certain blitzes to put Karlaftis one-on-one with the back leaking out to that side. Pederson won that rep, it really does happen occasionally.

Sutton was Gunther from the mid-90's.....older and way calmer, but not willing to change much up at all. His "we don't adjust to them; they adjust to us" comment made me want to punt a baby seal.

You are such an insufferable c u $ t.. We are playing in our 5th ****ing straight AFCCG...

I love how I troll you and you spend all this time responding.

Why not address the fact that only one individual on the planet has coached more playoff games than Andy Reid?

It’s okay. Maybe one day you’ll figure out how defensive schemes work too.

Good film study on their part recognizing that. You gotta give props to Pederson on that play.

It’s all they have.

We are just fortunate Pederson abandon the run and put the game totally on Trev's back because anytime they ran they gashed us for big swaths of yardage all game. We never stopped their run game EVER throughout the game. I'm not so sure we win yesterday if Doug didn't go full "Kyle Shanahan".

Yea, cause that’s not what happened at all. But you’re the dink. You run with that.

Thanks for proving my point.

How many superbowl wins in that stretch, champ?

Yeah you’re a moron. Especially after bitching about the defense yesterday

First of all , one Super Bowl in a few years is impressive. Let alone a SB win. Let alone two super bowls.

Find me the playoff game that he lost. We lost to Tampa because of our OL. We lost to cincy because the offense laid a goose egg and hamstrung our defense the entire second half.

This might be one of the worst arguments imaginable

Can't wait to see furious George on Stefon Diggs or Jamar Chase.

Magician!!

Couldn't have been being shut out in the first half against NE? Scheme something to beat man to man with the league mvp running your show? No?

Shuffling THREE OL players out of position in the superbowl instead of dealing with a backup at one position?

Incessantly passing into an 8 man coverage?

Nah you right pimp. Andy had nothing to do with those losses. Hes simply the most tragic, snakebitten bystander in all of those.

they stopped it enough to make them punt twice while mahomes ankle was figuring out how to play football

that got us to a 10 point lead, then the jags scored, then mahomes did his thing to get the 10 point lead back, then they had to abandon the run

the jags ran themselves into a loss, which is par for the course for the mahomes era

19-144 on the ground and should’ve been 27 allowed if that dork doesn’t cough it up at our 1 late. That’s not gonna get it done next week.

Man what exactly is your ****ing deal today?

You planning on taking a shit in every thread on the front page?

He's a ****.

They were defending the pass, and 44 came from QB scrambles and a reverse.

in fact, the jags running game was SO EFFECTIVE they had to drop back 43 times

it was so effective when mahomes punted twice to start the second half, they tried to run it and never got anything going

the chiefs defensive gameplan almost conceded the run in part, and it worked

rest easy

the bills and bengals can't run block for shit right now, and you'll see it today

They all count, and Burrow and Allen have proved they can scramble on us. We need to step up next week. Fortunately our offense looked good most of the day.

it's the same excuse making Homer's since the beginning of the season

pointless to debate this until the results of the next 2 games are in

QB scrambles are not on the run defense.

Chiefs run defense is fine. Best it's been in the Reid era. We can handle BUF or CIN run games right now.

The team that concerns me is Philly, because that running game might be our kryptonite.

Henne was nails. He came out on his 2 and drove them 98 yards down the field… with ice water in his veins
