Only a matter of time before he blows up, I’m afraid.

We're going to get a colon cleansing by Lindsay I'm afraid.

This. I appreciate the positive energy others have but on the road with this shitty defense hello 4 - 3. There IS NOTHING that will change this outcome accept and move on.

Stopping the run is typically about filling the gaps in the line; stuffing holes. At the very least, to do that you need DTs that can play their assignments well enough to allow the LBs to actually make the tackles. In other words, you don't necessarily need Pro-Bowl DTs, just DTs that can do their jobs.

Moving on, what's the one thing the Chiefs' defense has lacked since the loss of DJ? a MLB that can actually defend the run.

For this defense to play better against the run consistently, they need to find a real run-stopping MLB like Derrick Johnson.

If Hitchens or whoever can't start playing in a similar manner to what DJ did in his prime, we'll never stop the run between the tackles consistently, period.

I just really don't understand it. When I look at him from 2017, I see a guy who is aggressive at the LoS, constantly filling gaps and attacking. Look at the amount of pulling linemen that he just punishes in the backfield. I haven't seen anything close to this in the two seasons he's been here. I guess he just wanted to get paid.

Not exactly confident...

Nope, SB50, SBXXXIII, and SBXXXII were our SB's.

You guys are missing about half of the guys we lost in SB48.

I expect Lindsay and Freeman to run up and down on you guys especially with Jones out but at some point Flaccid is going to have to pass. He has been good for ONE 40+ yard pass per game the last 3-4 weeks but we will need one of those a quarter and to get TD's in the redzone, not FG's. I think mmHinomes does enough paired with the child beater to abuse our D and win a game the Broncos maybe make close at the end. Your team has lost leads the last couple games and should have lost at Detroit too.

It will be interesting if Johnson can cover Kelce, he has been a tackling machine and picked off Rivers, should have had 2 that game, but Kelce will show if he was feasting against bad teams or if he can be a stud starter.

Dawson and the other Harris have stabilized the CB position and with Jackson playing like his hair is on fire at Safety the Secondary has suddenly improved. It will really be on Purcell at DT, Walker (who got Gotsis Benched), and Reed to get off their blocks and feast on your backup LT. Would be nice to see Vic move Von around like they used to do with Meck pre-snap so your OL has to make a split second choice on how to double him quickly. Since Chubb went down teams have doubled and tripled Von yet he still had enough pressure last week to cause a couple INT's.

I am afraid that our bad OC will try to feature his 1st round toy, Fant just isn't ready to play as a featured player in the NFL, they need to slowly work him in and give him some confidence, instead they have him drinking from a firehose and outside a few nice catches he has done nothing. Plus his run blocking is terrible. I would have IRMan start at TE and feed him as much as possible.

I would also run lots of play action out of the I formation and use Jano like they did in the 1st game vs you last year where he was an impact player. Then radio went full radio and forgot Jano was on the team. Jano is good at catching the ball out of the backfield.

At the very least I just want to see growth. I didn't have any expectations for a playoff run this year after what Radio did last year and with a 2nd firsttime HC. Vic has been awful with his game & time management and situational awareness along with lack of 2nd half adjustments which have let teams back into games like the Jags and SD.

I expect you guys to win this one by 2 scores but would be happy to see the team making you earn it.

Good luck.

I don't either. He was pretty aggressive and played a physical style in Dallas. From week 1 with the Chiefs he just hasn't been that guy.

If he played anything like that guy from the video this year, we wouldn't be looking for a MLB. I'd be on board with Hitchens.

We will go fun dimensional on them.

I’m telling you it’s the scheme. There is a reason why Hitchens and Clark suck ass and look at Steven Nelson rn he’s balling out in Pittsburgh because he’s in a different scheme. It’s time for Andy to get rid of whatever scheme Spags and Sutton have ran

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Frank Clark was passionate in the Kansas City Chiefs locker room about how they need to be better at stopping the run. He said for six weeks they’ve made every single offense look awesome and they need to reboot.

So, get rid of the 4-3 and don't go back to the 3-4.

You talking 4-6 now?
