A 6th rd rookie in his first NFL game tore our assholes apart. “But wait it was only short passes!” Well yes it was. That’s what Brady does so well and he’s our biggest (and only) competition. So what does that tell you? The Chiefs offense scored every possession yesterday, but that isn’t sustainable against the best defenses in the league. We didn’t do that against the Broncos, Patriots 2X, Ravens, etc. I absolutely hate it that Pat has the weight of the world on his shoulders to will this goddamn team to the Super Bowl without seemingly any help from the defense. Ask Aaron Rodgers what that’s like. It’s happened to him for the last 9 years.

I don't have to be 'overly critical' of anything to point out that fact. You can come up with reasons for it if you'd like, but he was bad yesterday. And those of you who have just ignored anything else this team does because they have Mahomes now so everything must be wine and roses are going to continue to refuse to critically evaluate that decision on its own merits. Do you truly think Clark did anything yesterday to justify the cost in picks and cap? Was he even the 2nd best DE on his own team yesterday? What did he do at any point to suggest he was an impact player? You can make an ad hominem out of this if you want, that's fine - but it's on you. You're the one refusing to examine what was in front of you, not me. When he plays well I'll absolutely acknowledge it. He played like shit yesterday and I said that BEFORE any of the post-mortems came in. He was getting handled 1v1 by 3rd string OTs and TEs. "But the heat!!!!" Fine - it was hot. But he was bad. If you can't acknowledge that then I don't know what else to say.

I think if Bob Sutton's defense allowed 5 yards per rush, over 10 yards per pass to the tune of 430 yards total while giving up 5/10 on 3rd down, there would be far less optimism.
That's without throwing in "One of the NFL's worst offenses with a back up 6th round rookie QB." KC won several games just like this last year. This is going to matter when you face a good offense. I mean they could hold the Raiders to 250 yards next week and they'd still make me nervous. Grandpa Bob's defenses clowned the ****in' Raiders. And their back 7 is still TERRIBLE on paper, which was the same problem they had with Grandpa Bob. |

It was interesting (and maybe telling) to hear Mellinger on 810 this morning (hurray! I can listen to sam again now that Pryor is gone) saying that there were problems with communication in the secondary all day. Maybe some of those broken coverages were communication problems? Still doesn't make them not problems, still doesn't mean they didn't play poorly - but it does mean the improvement could come a little faster. It could also speak to my earlier question as to how Ward got that bad, that fast. But the first deep pass to Chark sure seemed to be nothing more than Ward getting destroyed. And not by anything clever either.

Bright side is the cheaper role guys like Breeland, Wilson, and Okafor played well enough that if the guys we're paying (or plan to pay) the big bucks to actually start to play up to their talents, we might not be DOA. |

I'm not going to over-react here because 'one game', but you didn't notice them unless you were specifically watching for them. They didn't stand out at all. For Clark that's bad, because they had scrubs playing tackle. Life should have been much harder for the QB. Jones was getting good penetration in the 1st quarter, but after that? Blah. Back up tackles and a back up QB with Chris Conley as their #1 WR and they shredded our guys. Thank god we have this otherworldly offense. We're gonna need it. |

Very true but I am willing to give Spags D some time to gel since they only played like 2 possessions total in the preseason. If they are still playing like this by Week 8 I will be very concerned. |

Ask any of these folks if they'd be saying any of this is Sutton was back. They KNOW they wouldn't be. Nobody's saying that this defense is doomed to be the worst in the league again. I'm just saying that they played poorly yesterday and any kind of objective analysis has to come to that conclusion. Especially if you're willing to ask yourself how you'd approach it if the offense HADN'T stepped up yesterday or if Sutton HADN'T been fired. Anyone that honestly thinks they'd have defended this defense had Sutton still been running it or even if Mahomes had to leave, the offense stalled and the Jags ended up winning 26-20 are just lying to themselves. FFS, I think this team is going 14-2 and winning the SB. I friggen love the potential of this squad. But because I watched a pass-rush go nowhere and a run defense give up 5+ YPC, I'm just some angry hater or some other dumb shit. One can criticize a decision, a play, a player, a unit, a game, a coach, any or ALL of that shit without deciding that this is now a 1-15 team. G'damn people.

Teams are too smart now and you just can't trot out Charvarious Ward's. This front office has gone into 2 straight seasons with shit and ass at CB after trading away a troubled dude that was pretty good at it. If they can't get this figure out, well, IMO, they've had enough rope to hang themselves with on the matter. |
