Let's put one thing in perspective about our defense....
Our team has jumped out to leads in every game, except Denver, and other teams for the most part have thrown a LOT of passes at us.
Phyllis Rivers - 51 passes
Rapesmoreburgers - 60 passes
Gimpyrapalow - 30 passes
MentalCase Keenum - 33 passes
BortlesandJames - 61 passes
That's 47 passes per game average, 235 total, a hell of a lot of passes for any defense including the pass rushers. Only one team in the NFL, Indy Colts, have averaged more passing attempts versus their opponents than the Chiefs have had at them.
Most of the yards allowed have come late in the game during garbage time.
Our biggest weakness is ZERO run defense. Teams come out and gash the hell out of us and then we get even softer in the secondary than we already are. It's amazing the size and amount of gaping holes our D opens up for rushers. Why Denver ever abandoned the run is beyond me and they probably would have won had they stuck to that plan.
While our defense is certainly poor, it's still much better than what most people think. I wouldn't want to depend on our Defense to win a game for us and the great D this past weekend was a against a shitty Blake Bortles.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it........
