Except to make our defense sound better, which is kind of dumb.


We know our defense is playing well right now, I don't see why we have to try and exaggerate the offenses of two shitty teams.

And we also have seen how these 'rankings' can be utter BS, thanks to lack of context such as the quality of the opponents. The most obvious example for Chiefs fans being the 2018 KC defense, but also the numerous other defenses (some of which KC has crushed over the last 5 years) that were incorrectly 'ranked' as a 'number 1 defense,' or 'the number 3 defense,' whatever.


So my point seems rather simple. I think it's wiser to judge them dispassionately, accept that they haven't played against enough good to great offenses to know for certain that they're a top-2 defense, that's all. I prefer to err on the side of caution, after just 6 games.


But I have acknowledged that they're playing at a very high level, that they might even be a top-5 defense, so I honestly don't see why this is a problem for any intelligent fan.

Btw, the Chiefs defense DVOA ranking last week was 11th.

BTW, the Chiefs defense DVOA ranking last 3 years is in the 20's...
