Chiefs Credit where it’s due to the defene

staylor26 · 10-17-2021, 02:18 PM

Washington’s offense isn’t great, but it isn’t terrible either. Without their best player, this defense played a great game. Need to get Jones back and hopefully figure out the right role for him whether that’s moving him back inside full time or what.

I thought Nick Bolton had his best game yet.

Mike Danna and Rashad Fenton deserve mention too.

Shit really could have gotten out of hand with 3 turnovers

Imon Yourside · 10-17-2021, 02:22 PM

They did play well today, now build on that and please keep Niemann and Sorensen off the field.

EPodolak · 10-17-2021, 02:23 PM

Defense showing up today contributed to the better second half of offense. It works that way IMO.

**Lzen** · 10-17-2021, 02:23 PM

Defense was respectable today. I didn't expect to be a top ten defense right away. Still it was a nice improvement from every other game this year. Need to see more Gay and Thornhill. And Sneed looked like his old self again.

They basically did what they were supposed to do in this game. Which is still a massive improvement over what they’ve been putting on the field. Spags blitzed quite a bit it seemed. Haven’t seen any numbers to confirm that, but I think generally he LOVES blitzing against bottom tier QBs. We haven’t played any of those this year, until this game.

They had a great day. Especially when you consider missing a few guys.

Megatron96 · 10-17-2021, 02:25 PM

D allowed just total 276 yds/offense
4.8yds/play
2 T/Os
WAS scoring drives:
PUNT
FG
PUNT
FG
FUMBLE
TD
MISSED FG
PUNT
PUNT
INT

Solid performance, albeit against a hapless WTF team.

And how does the ref not call Clark's tackle not a sack? If he throws him to the ground it's roughing, so what exactly is he supposed to do?

Pitt Gorilla · 10-17-2021, 02:25 PM

Bolton was awesome, but we already knew that.

dallaschiefsfan · 10-17-2021, 02:26 PM

Danna has made it unnecessary for Jones to play DE on early downs. If they play him at DE sparingly, fine. But I'd rather have Jones at DT and rotate Reed into the game.

Wisconsin_Chief · 10-17-2021, 02:26 PM

Allowing 13 points and less than 300 yards to any team when your offense turns the ball over 3 times is still pretty terrific.

I didn't think they had it in them. Props.

Just because you're unfamiliar with their QB does not make him bottom tier.

Eagles don’t have a very good offense but looked amazing against this KC defense. So you have to say they did a great job today. Massive improvement from previous games.

Yes it does, complimentary football.

He is 100% a bottom tier NFL QB and he played like one today.
