The defense plays with little emotion, edge or fire...and that's a lot of what defense is about. Enough said, he needs to go.

4-3 has changed. They are finding ways to find pressure packages just as effective as 3-4. The increasingly popular double A gap blitz featured by Jim Johnson years ago is a good example and it's a defense that relies on sending a lot of pressure from your LBs. These days, fronts don't matter all that much anyway since defenses are flexing the fronts and they play a ton of snaps in nickel anyway.

Points are the biggest factor obviously, but when you play bend dont break like that it's gonna skew the amount of possessions and limit points. Plus the CHiefs had the leading rusher in the NFL so offensively they hid the D a bit.
The defense just isn't aggressive enough. |

Idk that any coordinator could be aggressive under those circumstances.

Sure personnel was a problem. But you're never gonna have 11 great players.
So wouldn't that make it Dorsey's fault? |

Let's be honest though 2017 never mattered and his picks would indicate that (giving up what he did for Mahomes and drafting Tanoh) they were hamstrung by cap space. Yes you can pin that on Dorsey. |

#26 in opponent third down conversion percentage #23 in opponent fourth down conversions I mean, all up and down the sheet, this is a bottom third defense hiding behind a ball control offense. Even though the offense managed to take care of the ball and run it well enough to be middle of the pack in time of possession, the defense still can't get off the field on third or fourth down, gave up the most first downs in the NFL as you said, and is prone to break in the critical spot at the end of a close game. The offense was #10 in points scored in the 4th quarter, the defense was #25 in points allowed in the 4th quarter. This defense doesn't finish games. They give the other team massive amounts of first downs and yards by any measure, they can't get off the field so they give the other team many more chances to beat them than they should otherwise have, and they wear down at the end of games and end up breaking when it matters. |

And yet they were what, 3 plays from having HFA thru the AFC?
They'll reload and be good again next year with the chance to be great in the near future. |

I don't see how the same people who hate Alex Smith can defend Bob Sutton keeping his job. Both have been serviceable and we can thank them for their efforts over the last 5 years but they've had their chances and it's time to go. The difference between the two is that Bob Sutton's last year sucked by any and every measurable statistic possible. |

For a board that wants to run Smith out of town for the fact he can't get it done in the playoffs, Sutton is guilty of the same sins.

I am okay with running both of them out of town.
