No one is claiming the defense had a "stellar" performance yesterday. But the fact of the matter is, 19 points is 19 points. People, specifically the Alex apologists, are making it seem as if the defense gave up 40 points and they made it impossible for our offense to do anything.

Until we can stop the run we are toast. Bucs running game opened up their passing game and why they converted so many 3rd downs. Even IF Peters plays yesterday IMHO we still lose. Our defense flashes but is not consistent.
Andy's play calling is much of our problem on offense IMHO. Bucs just flat out manhandled us, far more physical than we were for sure. Their o-line dominated our d-line. After the first two drives of the Bucs I knew it was going to be a long day because you could see they had their confidence and were not intimidated by Arrowhead whatsoever and especially not by our d-front that got gashed and passed on all day. |

I never did buy into the AFC West being the toughest division talk. What the Falcons did to Denver in Mile High just a few weeks ago is what the Bucs did to us yesterday.
Chiefs and Raiders are full on paper tigers and Denver is half a paper tiger only because their D is that good especially their 2ndary. I don't care what the records are because they will be exposed in the playoffs assuming maybe all 3 make it. Yes I realize there is still a lot of football to be played but I just don't have a good feeling coming down the wire. Yesterday really exposed the Chiefs weaknesses that I don't think can be fixed. |

One drive when you lost by 2 points is pretty damn critical, is it not? But in the respective number of drives isn't the issue because the Bucs taking long, time consuming drives limits their numbers as well. It's isn't a comparison between the teams but a comparison between the respective weeks. Getting 7 offensive series in a game is awful. 9 should really be the lowest acceptable number and that's if neither side is playing great offense. A standard defensive battle should really be around 9 drives. But when you just cannot get a team off the field until they've driven deep into your own territory, your offense isn't going to ever get on the field. The defense allowing the Bucs into Chiefs territory on every drive yesterday is the worst stat to come out of that game. The offense led 2 sustained drives for scores. The offense put up 19 despite NO help from the D. The offense still wasn't good, but the defense was absolutely worse.
