Your job doesn't stop just because you've had some success. We have the lead. Late. Just destroyed Herbert with a blitz. Now let's give him all day.

It's like he has no little voice that says "Hey, do you think Herbs would want another furious rush, or would he prefer everyone drop and he has alll day to think" He makes a shit call that bails Herbert out, and allows them to take a late lead by 4.

That's losing football. Dress that shit up however you like.

Also the Chargers are a talented team the always plays KC tough. That same KC defense that he is screaming about because muh 3rd and 18 is the same defense that helped us beat the Chargers the first time they played.

Jeeeeeeeeeezus CHRIST is it getting deep in here.

Yes. Steve "The Magician" Spagnuolo pulled off such a great scheme. I loved the part where he let them march right down the field, and then on cue, waved his hand and glitter flew out of his ass, forcing the exhausted Charger TE who wanted out of the game, to give up on his route and allow the ball to be thrown directly into Jaylen Watsons arms for a pick 6.

Just brilliant scheme. I wonder why he doesn't use this wizardry more often, so that his unit wouldn't be 3rd from the bottom in takeaways.

Lastly I think some forget how young this defense is. We have something like five rookie players seeing significant snaps six if you count Cook. Bolton is in his second year, Gay his third, and Thornhill is in his fourth (I think). Also Saunders is in his fourth season and Reid his fifth. The elder statesmen on the defense are Clark, Jones, and Dunlap. What this defense is doing is pretty remarkable considering that.
