Does the D deserve the least amount of blame?

[dlphg9]

Going into half time the D had only allowed 7 points and forced a big fumble on the Titans 1st drive, but the O couldnt capatilize and only scored 3. The offense gets 5 drives in the first half and can only come away with 13 points. That is pathetic. All you ****tards that whine about TOP can **** off too. The Chiefs had the ball for 22 minutes out of a total 30 minutes in the 1st half and only managed to score 13 points and they were even given the ball on the 20 yard line.

Then the 2nd half starts Titans get the ball to start the half and the D forces a 3 and out. Then the D plays good enough to win the game and on what should have been there final drive they come up clutch and have what should have been the game winning stop. They get this offense the ball back at the Ten 32 with a 32-27 lead and 1:48 left in the game. With this offense that should be game over, but it's not and we know how it ends.

It's not fair to expect the D to make 2 big stops in back to back drives because the O and ST shit the bed. The skill position guys need to learn how to hold onto the ****ing ball and stop dropping passes. Andy Reid needs to stop trying these stupid cute plays when all we need is a couple of yards. The ST guys need to pull their heads out of their asses. And last of all I don't want to hear anything about TOP being importa my, because it very clearly is not.

The larger point is this; there is no damn way a decent defense gives up 30ish to the freaking Tacks.

And the way the Tacks did it was derisory. They pissed in our Magic Crunch, dude.

Troof… 29, but that fumble cost more than 6. It was at least a 10 point swing...

I do believe that the Chiefs went into this game over-confident (or something like that).

You got the sense that they fully expected to blow the Tacks out of the water ... until the torpedo reversed course and locked on to their exposed buttocks.

32 against Ryan Tannehill and the Titans is plenty of enough points. Unless you have a bad defense which we do.

However, on the long play he was playing DE on that play, he has to check the boot leg. That's his gap and job. Rags way over pursued his cut back gap and was almost hip to hip with Hitchens over the top. This is what happened. Don't assume if you don't know football.

Go watch the play. You're making excuse for him completely abandoning his gap then going oh shit, trying to get back, and whiffing. Checking the bootleg doesn't involve being that far out of position. It's not just the one play either. He sells out for the pass rush, doesn't maintain his gap, and we end up getting gashed.

Agree with OP. D got the big stop chiefs fans have been begging for. Only surrendered 21 points to that point. Shouldve been over right there, and thats a solid defensive effort. **** TOP, garbage stat.

So getting a stop on the second to last drive lets them off the hook for allowing Ryan Tannehill to go 60 yards in four plays for the game winning TD on the following drive?

[FAX]

Yeah ... the logic of holding them to 21 until they got to 35 is sort of difficult to latch on to, right there.

Frankly, I was impressed with the Tacks defense. In particular, their d-backs were relentless. Our receivers needed to be sharper and "very much on-point" and they weren't.

And has anybody heard an explanation for where Kelce went in the 2nd half of the game?

I don't think the offense is to blame for this loss. I believe defense and special teams played a bigger role in the loss.

But the 3rd & 2 play in this game, and the decision to punt the ball back to the Packers in the previous game, makes me want put Reid in a time out, and take away his BBQ.

The offensive genius couldn't come up with a play to get 3 yards in back to back games. Players make plays, but there are times when the play call has to be the star of the play.

Reid has all sorts of gadget plays, misdirection plays, etc. designed to fool the defense, but two weeks in a row he blows it. If we pull out one of those special plays against Green Bay on 4th down, instead of kicking the ball to an offense that we clearly couldn't stop at that point in the game, we win. Needing 3 yards against the Titans, Reid calls a play that is neither a misdirection play, nor a play designed with multiple targets for Mahomes, or even a play with enough variation to allow Mahomes to improvise.

The non-call and subsequent decision to punt to Aaron Rodgers, and the weak-ass TE screen against the Titans, are just absolute garbage calls on Reid's part.

Well ... when you give up 35 points to the freaking Tacks ...

The Chiefs defense didn't give up 35 points. They gave up 28 points. Try again.

Our offense isn't ever on the field for a field goal. Not Sunday, not ever.
