This defense is not getting that kind of pressure from three guys.
Meanwhile, the 2021 offense lacks...Kareem, Fisher, Schwartz and Watkins.
The '18 offense had all of them, so it was good enough to overcome that defense...and even work in tandem with it at times (elite O + pass rush is deadly).
If this defense is truly worse than 2018, I don't think the offense is going to be near good enough to overcome it.
I think the Chiefs HAVE to improve on defense stat if they are to have any hope of getting back to the SB.

Your best post since the loss, for sure. This is a good point. We're in all likelihood not going 13-4 or 12-5 with the D we had in 2018.
