Where in there did I say that the defense was good? Though if we're actually going to be honest, they came out and played rather well at first. The offense turning the ball over four times and giving away short fields throughout the first half is what sunk KC, which again has nothing to do with the defense.
You want to wear out your defense early? Turn the ball over in your half of the field four times in a row.
Here's the thing: no team has much of a chance to win if their offense turns the ball over in their side of the field four consecutive times to start the game. But in spite of that, the Chiefs D forced LAC to punt twice there.
Not sure what else you realistically could expect of them.
The offense is not playing well through three weeks, period. Turnovers, poor decisions, 3rd down arm punts are not going to get it done, no matter what team we're talking about. Patrick/Kelce/Hill/whatever JAG we put out there have to man up and play much cleaner.
And this is not about play-calling either. Stop with the 'Andy turtled up" BS. That last throw to Pringle was exactly the right call, and Pringle dropped it. His drop before was also a critical play.
Now we're seeing the offense without Sammy. It's still pretty good, but it's not as efficient and unstoppable, period. The whole "we just need two fast little guys" theory is utter BS. We need a big, physical WR2 that can actually run great routes and has reliable hands in the clutch.
But we have what we have. Which means the Hardman/Pringle/Kemp/whoever gang better find a way to play a lot better, and stop dropping balls. we simply can't afford their mistakes anymore.
