Chiefs KC/NE: Chiefs weren't bad (and, no, I'm not reeruned)

JD10367 · 11-21-2011, 11:00 PM

I know it looked bad on TV. And on the scoreboard. But from inside the stadium it looked different. The Chiefs D did a good job pressuring the Pats in the first half. They had two blown plays against Gronk and he made them pay. On offense, Palko looked much better than Cassel; considering the circumstances (thrown into starting @ NE on MNF) he looked decent. He had two tipped-ball INTs that could've been caught, and one Casselish INT in the EZ. I said the Chiefs had to play perfect, which they didn't, but the story of this game was basically two passes to Gronk, a PR by Edelman, and two tipped INTs.

Patriots give up yards but they are middle of the pack in scoring defense which is the only defensive stat that matters.

Throwing on that third down was trying to run up the score . After the penalty, running on two consecutive plays, 3rd and 4th down was not.

Yeah, they are approaching the top third in the league in pts against. Sometimes when you are up, you let the other team move the ball and eat clock for you.

Numbahs is right. This game was a lot closer than the score. And the Chiefs never quit.

I would LOVE to hear you explain this. Just give me a sec to grab a beer and put on my tin foil hat.

Well, when you are throwing up by more than three scores, its blatent you are taking advantage of a team geared to stop the run in that situation. I wonder why they did that. That is not typical of the Patriots in that situation.

The run plays after the penalty were just pound it at the D, everyone knows what the play is, just stop it. The 4th down run took an easy 3 points off the board. They ran it right at a D geared to stop the run instead.

This "worst D in football" thing is overstated. The NFL, for some silly reason, ranks offense/defense by YARDS, not points.

Pats are middle of the pack in points allowed, the only stat that matters. The Chiefs piled up lots of yards, just like everyone does. But when you say "3 points on the worst D in football", you're mixing stats -- points versus yards.

Here is the thing.... the Pats have the worst defense in the league by yardage. They are average in points allowed. But, they also had additional injuries int he secondary.

Palko was given a very soft defense to start against. I don't know that the Chiefs would have won with Cassel, but they would have put up more points.

Here's the thing...Palko wasn't playing when the Chiefs put up 3 points on the mighty Dolphins, AT HOME.

Oh, go cry in your maxi pad, bitch. What the **** was Haley doing calling two timeouts in a row, down 27-3 with 5 minutes to go? I never understand why it's okay for the losing team to keep trying but not the winning team.
