Fostor did what every back does to our sorry defense....set records....other defenses play for 4 quarters, why can't ours?

I'm tired of all the excuses we make for this defense.

I agree with htismaqe on this. Most of the Chiefs' salary cap eggs are in their offensive basket. They should be able to count on that offense to protect the defense a little bit. Foster didn't do anything in the first half. The defense made stops and took the ball away. The offense did little in the first half and didn't return to the field in the second half. They didn't score to give the defense margin for error. They didn't possess the ball to give the defense a breather. And they didn't win the field position battle to give the defense a long field to defend.

The defense certainly has problems, but they were expected. Those problems wouldn't be deal breakers if the offense were doing what it was expected to do.
