ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - National Media starts the bashing. It's Trent's fault now.

The pertinent question is: Which part of the team did you expect to carry the team?

I expected the Defense to struggle. It is only game #2 under a new scheme. I see improvement [negative yardage on runs, for example], but I do not think anyone rightfully expected the Chiefs Defense to dominate anyone at this point in the season [if at all].

I expected the Offense to move the ball. This is essentially the same Offense that tore up the NFL last season and the Defense matched them TD for TD. They had one good drive that ended in a FG [bad choice, DV]. The Offense’s TD came on the heels of a PI call that put them at the 1-yard line. A gift. Other than that, all the Offense did was hand the ball back to The Enemy and put our D back on the field.

I am not saying that our Defense is great. Our Defense is still rebuilding and will only get better in small chunks. However, the Offense has not lived up to its reputation and is hanging our Defense out to dry.
