29th in Scoring Defense

[jspchief]

6 first round picks
3 second round picks

I'm surprised people aren't talking more about what an absolute abortion this defense is.

29th in yards per play

7th worst yards per rush
2nd most 20+ yard runs

We all knew the QB situation going in to this season. Defense was supposed to be a strength. It's what Crennel is supposed to be good at.

We can't pressure. We can't cover. We can't stop the run.

This entire defense is sucking at a Cassel level. Not a single player has been consistently good.

"What's the point..."

That's what is running through the minds of our defenders. Look what they did to Baltimore...how the **** do we lose that game?

Ok...what's the excuse for the other five games where they went Houdini?

What was the Bucs offense rated coming into this game? IIRC, they were around 26th or so, and they rolled up on us like the '99 Rams.

This entire organization is a dumpster fire freefalling from the peak of K-2.

Hali’s Starts, Sack-and-Strip: LB Tamba Hali started his 100th career game as a member of the Chiefs against Tampa Bay (53 at outside linebacker, 47 at defensive end). He also recorded a sack and strip of Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman. He has 4.0 sacks for the season and 57.5 for his career. The forced fumble is his first of the season. He now has 24 forced fumbles to rank third in Chiefs history.



Houston’s INT: LB Justin Houston recorded his first-career interception as he picked off Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman and returned it 45 yards in today’s game.



Charles’ Big Rushes: RB Jamaal Charles had one rush of more than 10 yards in today’s contest. He now has 100 career rushes of 10 or more yards. He becomes only the third player in club history to record at least 100 10+ yard rushing plays in their career. RB Priest Holmes (190) and RB Larry Johnson (137) are the other two.



Scoring Drive Plays, Time: The Chiefs registered a 15-play, 59-yard drive that lasted 7:33, resulting in a 38-yard field goal from K Ryan Succop. The 15 plays are the most plays on any Chiefs scoring drive this year, and 7:33 is the longest time of possession for a Kansas City scoring drive in 2012.



Maneri’s Career Day: TE Steve Maneri had a career day receiving the ball, posting a career high four catches for a career high 45 yards (11.3 avg.). Going into the game, Maneri had two catches for 11 yards for his career.



Eachus’ Day: RB Nate Eachus recorded five carries for 18 yards (3.6 avg.) and had one reception for 19 yards in today’s contest, recording his first NFL carry and first NFL reception in the same game.



Succop’s Streak: K Ryan Succop converted his 10th consecutive field goal with 7:45 left to play in the first half. The 38-yard field goal makes him 11-of-12 for the season so far. At 11-of-12, Succop ties for third in Chiefs history for the highest field goal percentage in a single season at 91.7%.

Chiefs PR found the silver lining.

I believe overall they were 29th or 30th if I remember correctly, they were 26th in passing and around the same with rushing. They showed the stats during the game in the first half, so I'm working from that memory. The point is that they were not nearly as good as we made them look. The career day Greg Robinson defense rears its ugly head yet again!

The crazy thing is we basically dominated Baltimore a week earlier. They had less than 300 yards against us, and unlike Tampa; were actually a very good offense. I'm not sure exactly what happened. Its not like Tampa dominated the time of possession. I think the team sees the writing on the wall and has pretty much given up all hope.

Today during the game, Gannon talked about the DL and the high draft picks we have on it. It was an understatement for him to say that this defensive line has underperformed their pedigree...

They visibly quit in the second half today. There is no motivation or morale on this team anymore, especially on defense. "Hey guys, lets stop them here so our offense can go 3 and out and we'll have to do this shit all over again."

That, unfortunately, looks like the truth of what's happening out there.

Special teams was the only unit that looked as though they had their heads in the game.

Everybody else looked like they'd just heard Eric Winston give a pep talk.

I did the same thing. Turned the channel to the Discovery Channel in the 2nd quarter to watch the dude jump from 24 miles up. Missed the entire 2nd quarter, and I haven't done something like that in like... well, forever. And sad thing is, I really never thought, at any point, that I was missing out on anything in the Chiefs game.

And that sort of makes me sad, 'cause I am a lifer that has seen this team win and lose a Super Bowl.

Braincase!!!!

Can you fly a plane? Can you fly that same plane with a banner attached to it? Just asking since someone in the game thread had a hot idea for those that are going to die anyway. :P

[tredadda]

Give us a real DC an I bet our defense plays better than they have and is a top 10 defense. It is like no one on this team cares this year and there is no one to step up and lead and motivate them.

That's bullshit though. This D has allowed 1st qtr scoring at a disgusting pace. It's not like last year where they were stout until they wore down. They've been ****ing awful from the coin flip.
