Bob Suttons Defense actually leads the league in sacks

Sure, the defense got the ball back. Give them credit for that (even though the Rams gifted them a TO by throwing). And Mahomes certainly failed to take advantage by throwing his worst INT of the year.

But saying the defense was good in the last two minutes like you are implying just is not true.

Rams gave us an extra chance with poor clock management and some bonehead offensive play calling. Mahomes failed to capitalize on that and that is on the offense and him.

But if the defense gets a stop when it had the chance, the game was over. The Rams had NO timeouts left and we gave up an easy, easy, score.

So the Chiefs got a stop because the Rams were too aggressive but Mahomes trying to go for it all, leaving to two INT's, was good defense by the Rams?

I'm out. Can't debate double standards.

Mahomes screwed up. It is not a double standard. The Rams made plays. Mahomes first INT his arm was hit because the defense was able to put pressure on him. The second was purely a mistake on his part.

It was a team loss. But twice this year the Chiefs have gone up against what are considered elite teams in the NFL, and both times the defense shit the bed in critical situations.

You expect the offense to be perfect but cut the defense too much slack. That is as much of a double standard as anything.

Except I don't expect the offense to be perfect. And I don't cut the defense too much slack.

Too many people around here only see black and white. That's the problem. Football isn't Boolean.

Okay. I put blame on both sides of the ball too. But football often boils down to key situations, and the defense shits the bed far too often when it gets in those situations.

The offense failed tonight in those situations too, especially at the end. Mahomes will learn from it and improve. Hopefully Morris and LDT will back soon to help out the o-line as well.

Team as a whole has to cut down on penalties. The refs did suck, but the Chiefs are way too undisciplined in that regard.

Plenty of work to do all round. Season is far from done.
