Remaining Playoff Teams Defensive Rankings

[PAChiefsGuy]

Vikings

Total Yds - #1
Pass Yds - #2
Rush Yds - #2
Ppg - #1

Eagles

Total Yds - #4
Pass Yds - #17
Rush Yds - #1
Ppg #4

Jags

Total Yds - #2
Pass Yds - #1
Rush Yds - #21
Ppg #2

Pats

Total Yds - #29
Pass Yds - #30
Rush Yds - #20
Ppg - #5

Starting QBs - Brady, Keenum, Bortles, Foles.

I know most of you morons on here think football is a one-on-one sport and QB is the only position that matters but clearly that is not the case. Defense still is very important. Always has been that way and always will be. You can have the GOAT QB but w a trash defense the odds of winning the SB are slim to none.

Even the Pats have the #5 defense as far as ppg and pretty much all their SB winning teams had a top defense. Anyone who minimizes the importance of a good defense doesn't understand football.

I still get 30 glorious seconds with Shanola?

Smith played EXCLUSIVELY with top 7 scoring defenses from 2011-2016.

He wasted them all.

You're not going to have a perfect team seven years running. You better do your job as a QB and pick up the slack somewhere at some point.

Oh, you did it during the wrong year when the defense was only average in scoring? Well maybe just get one field goal in a ****ing half, super duper AWESOME QB dude.

No?

Then get the **** out.

This team had opportunities in the clutch to win FIVE more games...FIVE games that could have earned them the #1 seed and a trip to the AFC Championship game. But Alex ****ing CHOKED. Like he has ALWAYS done.

Your narrative is bullshit.

The Chiefs had the league's leading rusher, dynamic receivers, an offensive line that continues to get better, and a defense that was top 5 in points allowed over the last eight games, despite the bellyaching.

There's a very solid team already in PLACE, waiting for a QB who doesn't choke in the clutch like it's his job.

God, we might actually be able to score 24 points in a playoff game! You know how many times that's happened since 1993?

TWICE.

So the lesson here is if you're gonna have a JAG quarterback, better make sure you have an elite defense.

If not, you're going to be relying on an elite play-making QB to carry your team in the playoffs.

This post makes the perfect argument for why Alex Smith should not be the Chiefs QB going forward.


Thank you.

Thank you.

You use 'elite defense' like it's this mythical thing that only shows up once every '85 Bears or so, when the majority of playoff successful franchises field one year in, year out.

And you use 'elite QB' like it's anyone the franchise targets in the draft, when you're putting expectations on the position to surpass any single player in the history of the sport.

It is a shame our defenses in the 90s never got a SB. They were special.

Good then we don't need Alex. Take his salary get some defensive players. I approve.

Mythical thing? I think my post was indicating that 3 of the 4 teams left in the hunt have an elite defense this year. The only one that doesn't is the team that has Tom Brady.

I think you missed the point of my post.


But thank you for telling me what I meant . . . . .

Kind of like the teams Alex Smith played on from 2011-2016!

Golly gee! Too bad he couldn't take advantage!

And two of those three needed 29 and 45 points to advance...

- those TEAMS that ALEX played.

Your obsession is all-encompassing.

[RunKC]

We do need to build up the defense as much as possible. We’ve invested much more in offense.

Time to stack this front 7.

You don't have a ****ing point. You've never had one.

You want to tear down teams that were good enough to win the Super Bowl because of thinly veiled homerism for another cuck game manager.

I mean, you really think the 2012 Ravens were ALL THAT? They didn't even have a 1,000-yard receiver. Statistically speaking, their defense was nothing special at all. Bernard ****ing Pollard started for them.

They won because of QB play in the goddamn playoffs.

The following season their defense was BETTER and they got WORSE as a team because the QB took a giant shit on himself all year.

You're pathetic. Go back to Arrowhead Pride and stroke it off with the other homers.

Just as KC would have, if passes that hit receivers in the hands would have been held onto.

You can overlook this as much as you want to fit your narrative, but it doesn't escape the people that are viewing this reasonably.
