The Chiefs have allowed 30 points 1 time this year and it was bc the Bucs were way behind and we were playing prevent.
This time last year we allowed 29, 36, 30, 30 and 38 points in 5 of our first 6 games and the defense looked terrible. They look much better this year even with the youth injection

It doesn't seem to take other units as long to not be this bad, but the schedule has been pretty brutal for sure. I think they'll get better, but damn. |

I'd sure love to give Spags a good ol' fashioned performance review like any of us have had to go through. He would definitely be going into a performance improvement plan with the poor results of his work. He would be given a month to drastically turn it around or demoted to hydration specialist.

Live by the blitz, die by the blitz. It's been a mixed bag, but they've been pretty good in key moments I'd say. Elite QB's and WR's are going to get theirs. We've seen it 3 weeks in a row. Personally, I'm not worried (other than the pass rush), and think they've played better than I expected overall. By the end of the season they'll be a lot better. I bet they finish a top 15 or so defense. |

You can't be this bad with 4 up front and be very good IMO |

I have no problem with personnel. I have a problem with scheme and the person running that scheme and the lack of true accountability towards him. Same shitty results filled with excuses of they will be better next month. Then the next month comes and there have been no real tangible improvements to move out of the shitty category and excuse is still same. They will be better next month. Then the year ends and the excuse is essentially the same. Had a rookie here, injury there, but we are almost there. We will be better next year. Never mind the fact that every team has to start a rookie or 3 that they really don't want to. The only problem with the defense is the lack of accountability towards the guy running it. |

The 2018 Chiefs proved that this is not true. You need to be well rounded to be a good defense, not just the pass rush

I think he's doing a great job, all things considered. Mixing up man and zone, blitzing in key moments, nobody looks lost, they're playing hard. It would be much easier if you could get home with 4, but we just can't. This is why IF we're about to make a move, I'd bet it's for a pass rusher. |

I didn't say that's the only way to have a good defense. But you can't have a "good" defense in today's league without that. |

Spags real issue IMHO is his inability to feel a game within a drive. His adjustments come WAY to late.
Some coaches can pick up on what you are trying to do, and adjust their play calls to counter. Spags seems to wait till HALF to adjust. He has not shown any ability to adjust in series, or even in HALF. Leaving a rookie singled up on peoples #1's is also out of this world reeruned. |

We're in year 2 of a defensive rebuild. The problem is that an offensive rebuild isn't far into the future. But I think we still have one more year where we can attack the trenches offensively and defensively. But I'm not the guy to really have this conversation with as I'd have drafted at least 3 DL last year; I thought we needed at least 2 DEs and a DT. But they went a different direction... It is what it is. Finite resources and what not...
