Don’t let Mahomes being back completely overshadow the defense
 

3 straight good performances. All under 20 pts.

The young guys are starting to gel and the veterans are playing much better ball.

Everybody calling for Spags to be fired is dumb.

I think we've played some pretty poor offenses, but the defense has done exactly what it's supposed to. We can make a Super Bowl with this defense for sure and that's really all we need.

Giants and the Packers without Rodgers? Yea, absolutely.

But the Raiders? Their offense is good enough to say the defense is clearly significantly better than the one from the first several weeks.

Defense looked good for a half..then shit their leg until a bit of a lucky turnover. Then looked good.

Agree with that. But this is a Raiders team still finding itself without its leading receiver (and only effective deep threat) and head coach. They're not remotely at equilibrium.

Still, the defense dominated today. Looked amazing.

Yeah, I've thought for weeks the defensive numbers had to average out some... play teams that can score 30ppg, give up 30+ppg. And do that for 5 of 7 weeks, your defense is going to look terrible.

Get closer to the average NFL offense, they suddenly look better.

Of course, they've looked especially bad at times and still looked bad against the Eagles and what not, so not trying to take away from the improvement.... but, it was also bound to happen against all the cries of "historically bad!!!!"

Raiders without Ruggs is definitely a handicap.

But we put Waller and Jacobs in handcuffs all game long, which isn't an easy task. Very promising stuff from these guys.

There’s nothing lucky about a forced error. Great play by Fenton when Jackson struggled to get control of the ball which slowed him down just long enough.

Also, the defense got ****ed in the 1at half with the ST’s fumble after forcing a punt. If anything, the two plays canceled each other out.

Shut up bitch.

It worked tonight and probably feels great but, Mahomes is a tad too greedy.

It was always a player and talent problem. Frank, Reed and Jones getting off their asses and doing shit and Ingram coming in.

Pressure has changed everything

Defense kicking ass. I have noticed. They are keeping team with out points.

Irony…

We had a lot of new faces coming into this season. They were on the same page tonight. Mahomes took a huge step mentally. Offensive line played great even with Wylie.

Melvin Ingram brought a spark to this team too. Just what we needed. Huge trade by Veach.

Even Sorenson made plays tonight
