Giving up 32ppg ain’t getting into the playoffs. We’re pacing to be the worst scoring defense of all time except for: drumroll please…. Spoiler The 2008 0-16 Detroit Lions
At this point I don't think you can salvage this Defense. It's a cum dumpster. I would trade for Cooks to be the #2 WR and give the OL time to improve. The Offense will have to carry them all.
We could be better on defense with like 3 player swaps. Not great, but just better enough to make it so these aren’t games we have to win on the last possession.
At this point I'm sold that Spagnuolo would somehow make them suck like Jarran Reed and Chris Jones do, now. I mean fuck, they have Thornhill on the bench so that Dan can be an auto completion. Why? Fuck what a lost cause that promising front should have been.
I will struggle to support any transactions we make that aren’t revolving around improving the defense. Don’t waste capital on offense, we need LBs and corners.
Lack of a WR2 was a glaring issue that everyone knew needed addressed all off-season. Everyone except Veach and Reid apparently. That said, the defense is a joke. If they don’t get things straight ASAP it’s going to be a long season. These last two weeks are probably as frustrating as it’s been since Andy took over.
They need DL that will actually live up to their salary. The secondary is fine if someone got a clue and put Dirty Dan on the bench. LB will be ok when Gay is back. DL is flaming ass, though.
Sure, fixing the Defense is the best result but I don't know how you fix it. The DL is garbage and it's the top paid unit after Pat. What more can they really do?
Bench Sorenson Move Jones back inside Get Frank Clark healthy and hope his worthless ass has a pulse Bring the young guys along and let them continue to develop The defense isn’t going to be good but they looked better today… although that isn’t saying much. If they can even be average and maybe hold opponents to a FG in the redzone once or twice this year the offense is good enough to carry them.
I don’t disagree, but I feel like Spags may be the reason Jones and Reed have been sucking honestly. Frank Clark is in the Sorenson group for me. Launch into the sun ASAP
Agreed, but I don't think we can fix the Spagnuolo problem anytime soon. Best bandaid for this squad is a legit 3rd option in the receiving game and hope and pray the OL and CEH get better and go full Peyton Colts.
I think we have fine enough offensive weapons if they’re not in -14 pressure every god damn snap. Get off the field one extra time and we’re fine on offense. Where was McKinnon today?
I'm not going to panic because it'll be a long time before we will turn the ball over 6 times in 5 quarters. That being said, glaring weaknesses that we came into the season with are... still glaring weaknesses. DE is a shit show. Just move Jones back inside. He isn't as impactful at End. Bench Sorensen. I've long hated him and his 1 good play per game isn't worth the other 5-6 huge mistakes. Why do we never chip a DE or keep an extra body to double team? Just like the Super Bowl, we refuse to attempt to slow someone down. Every single snap Bosa was collapsing the pocket and making Mahomes either step up or scramble. Have one of these shitty WRs that can't catch anyway chip him at the line. It's like the coaches think it's illegal to block with more than 5 players. WR2 is a dumpster fire. An in-season trade HAS to happen. Veach isn't afraid to trade draft picks so go trade a 4th-7th rounder and get a reliable guy. Robinson/Pringle/Hardman/Kemp ain't it.
I thought he was worth the gamble because he's cheap and they no longer test for weed. Don't expect him to contribute for a few weeks which is fine. Let him work his way up with conditioning and limited routes so he can be ready near the playoffs. This Offense will be on fire if Gordon can still play and the OL finally gels. We won't give a shit if the Defense still sucks (it will).
Same. I set the over/under at Halloween before he’s off the team or away from the team for any number of reasons.
Chiefs are 3rd in Offensive DVOA and last in Defensive DVOA in Football Outsiders' first DVOA rankings. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/nfl/team-efficiency/2021
Me, 6-4, 350, wearing my Patrick is Mahomie shirt in HyVee waiting on my vaxx booster and flu shot: Little tiny 4-0 80 year old lady: He really did better this week didn’t he? It was the most adorable thing.
Amazing that we keep trotting that useless fuck out there just to give up big play after big play. Where the hell is Thornhill, Spags?
