Offense v. Defense using comparable stats
We keep hearing from some on here how the Chiefs are the 28th ranked offense. In the same breath the people defend the defense by saying "they only gave up X points".
Okay so fair enough, but not really. Let's look at like for like. Scoring offense (because points are what matters) Chiefs are 19th. Not 28th Scoring defense (because points are what matters) Chiefs are 5th - very good now compare the same stat that people like to tout as 28th ranked offense..yards per game Yards Per Game Offense: Chiefs are 24th Yards Per Game Defense: Chiefs are 25th So pick your poison but keep it consistent on both sides of the ball |

The Chiefs have more scoring opportunities BECAUSE the defense creates all of those turnovers. They still only score FGs.

the opportunities the O has to score. then I hear you bitch about Andy Reid's playcalling.. all of you.. and then you wonder WHY the offense struggles to score TDs? or worse, point to an individual? The team has a lot of problems... and is still 7-3. THAT's what should give people hope. The top players return from injury.. the playcalls get cleaned up a bit.. the QB gets some confidence back... maybe they can still make an impressive run.

If you subtract the kneel down right before half they are the same

The Chiefs had 7 drives and had that few because the defense was unable to keep the Bucs from getting into Chiefs territory on every single possession except the very last one where they stalled at the 49 after not even trying to throw the football anymore. The Bucs offense toyed with the Chiefs defense all day.

![]() The fact that TB could drive 50+ yards on all 3 FG's they scored is a damn shame. That's not what a top ranked defense does. |

If the battle is supposedly won in the trenches...it's a shame our run defense is tied for the bottom 5 and gives up the 6th most rushing yards each game.

Did you subtract defensive touchdowns from the total points scored?
