Donko's have freaking Sanchez as their starter with Stephenson and a gimpy Okung protecting him....lost the interior guts of their defense and Tailbs facing a suspension. Don't act like losing the teams leading tackler wont have an impact. The thought of Buttfumbler, in his first year, behind that O-line? Manning got the ball out so quickly that it masked how crappy they were. When you have a career stat of 85 TD vs. 83 INTs...it means you suck at reading defenses.
KC lost TWO of their best defensive players? They let Smith go ...who was an above average CB...and who else? Devito? There are 3 players on the defensive line, alone, who are better than him. KC reeled of 11 straight primarily without Houston and Charles. One of those was an out-right throttling in your stadium. Head to head...Donkos held a lead for less that 30 seconds in two hours of game time....30 SECONDS.
KC allowed fewer points per game than your "pseudo-historic defense"...
Donkos = over-rated, luck and hype.
