Using 'overly' says it's not fair - full stop. It's one of those "Everything that comes before the 'but' is bullshit" sorts of things. Especially when your post effectively starts with "just ignore him, he's being a bitchy schoolgirl over Clark..." No, I'm really not. I think Veach overpaid in terms of cap and capital. I've said that. I've also said that I think he can be a very good player here, his attitude may be just what we needed as part of the overhaul and that there's a clear path to this being a good acquisition. And in his first shot, against a bad offense in front of a tepid crowd with an entire half where he got to go after a green QB protected by a 3rd stringer, he did nothing. That's no bueno and fair to point out.

Yes, it's Week 1 ... any rational person would take that into account. On the other hand, that's why this performance should be concerning.
This was our first look at the #1 defense with extended snaps playing against an offense that is not particularly scary (especially considering the o-line they trotted out there). If our brand-new marquee defenders are going to rack up a grand total of 2 tackles and 1/2 sacks against the Yaguars, something went wrong somewhere. Because that, my friends, is unacceptable. It was the Yaguars' first game, as well. We're not talking about a high standard here. It was the Yaguars. FAX |

I do think though, we may need to recalibrate what we want or expect this offense to be.
They aren't gonna be the Ravens lite from last year (although I do think there's more talent on the D than it looked like and it's early) and they aren't really or shouldn't be expected to be. Get a few stops, don't get gashed and turn the team over a time or two. |

Maybe grow a pair and try to respond or just stay home.
It's a discussion board - you paying for my keystrokes, sweetheart?

Right now it just looks like Grandpa bob's defense with a much worse pass rush. |

-1 2 5 12 3 3 6 1 14 6 2 10 3 So take out his 3 big carries which accounted for 36 of his 66 yards. So 10 carries for 30 yards. Now compare that to McCoys game. His 10 carries looked like this. 13 2 4 2 3 31 5 0 2 19 So 63 of his 81 yards came on 3 carries. On his other 7 carries he had 18 yards. But you can't take away the long carries, so I'd say they both had pretty good games. What's everyone's obsession with trying to convince themselves and everyone that the pass rush and rush D was good? |

Lets see some more games before the Chiefs acknowledge there's no stopping NE and they should cancel the rest of the season and give the Lombardi to them now.

I fail to see how I was being emotional about anything.
You're the one coming in here asking me center my chi or whatever. I'm felling just fine. I reiterate, you're free to join a conversation or...don't. Seems like you don't have anything worthwhile to add so maybe use your time elsewhere. To each their own.

Neither Defense did particularly well and while that's not indicative that the Chiefs Defense will actually be good, but maybe they're not bad like that performance yesterday would make you think. It's okay to say the performance yesterday was not good, because it wasn't. But I think it's fair to say that we should see more before dropping the hot takes, yeah? Quote:

You tell me, talent wise, where you think this defense ranks compared to the rest of the NFL. Go ahead. |
