Chiefs Run Defense
 

It's bad and it's going to be an issue. Teams respect the Chiefs pass rush, and are going to try to counter is with either running or quick passes. Power running offenses are abusing this front 7. The loss of DJ is big. It's killing us.

It's probably the most revolting a run D that I have witnessed... but I drink a lot, so the memory could be a bit fuzzy. Missing the starting ILBs and elite SS seems to make things rough. Who'd a thunk it?

Yup, losing Devito, DJ, and not having Berry on the field has hurt us a lot.

It's all Smiths fault. He is the reason we lose every week and must be the reason for our cheaply run defense.

All of this plus your offense has to help the defense out. You can't leave the d on the field for almost 42 minutes and expect them not to be gassed in the 4th.

Smith forced DJ to tear his achilles, same with Devito.

Chiefs were leading ToP most of the first half weren't they?

But yes, Reid had a chance to wear their D down with the run, but let them do it to us instead.

LMAO

Yeah so they popped us a few times, everyone knows they're capable of that... the problem is that Reid went away from whats been working and GAVE THEM time to grind away like that.

Kaep sure as ***K didnt beat us, he was just as erratic and iffy as ever, but once Reid surrendered ball control it gave them a chance to get back into their original script, running the ball and letting him run play action... **** you Reid, **** you.

So mad at Reid right now its silly, way more than vs. the Titans.

Yeah, that really sucked to see. That's why I hate when we give up even a little bit of a lead, Reid becomes way too pass happy when that happens and it kills us because:

1. We become extremely predictable.

2. We only have 1 WR who can win outside consistently (Bowe).

3. Reid has a tendency of going away from anyone who can physically dominate any opponent and use them as decoys while gameplanning for our mediocre players as the focal point. (He did this with Jackson in Philly).

4. Our pass protection isn't always up to snuff.

5. It takes away our best player, Jamaal Charles, without the defense ever having to do anything to counter him.

Agreed, but it would have been nice to have an ILB worth a shit who could have limited Gore's effectiveness.

This certainly didn't help:

Good God Ford, all I could think at that moment was, " what the **** are you doing?"

Omfg

They are going to grill him over that play.
