No team that’s allowed even 6,600 yards in a season has ever finished with a winning record.
Fucking horrible. G-Rob horrible. Gunther as a head coach horrible. Pioli managing a football franchise horrible. Listening to Herm talk football horrible. 10 additional years of Carl Petersen horrible. Dropping Derrick Thomas in to coverage horrible.
Horrible. [Reply]

All Reid had to do, especially in the Tennessee game, was run the ball. Last year we had the league's leading rusher, and an 18 second half lead.
What did Reid do? He gave said League Rushing Champion 5 effing carries in the second half. WITH AN 18 POINT LEAD.
So, I hate Sutton, and I think he is an absolute shit football coach, if Reid didn't get barbecue lodged in his arteries, cutting off oxygen to his brain, we win those two home games.
I know this defense ALSO gives up a lot of points, but why the fuck are basic defensive rankings based on yards and not points? I've always thought that was fucking bullshit.
If your team doesn't give up points, isn't it doing its job? If your defense gives up 500 yards in a game to an opposing team, but they hold them at the goal line or get turnovers on each of those drives and hold them to zero points, isn't that the fucking point of being a defense? [Reply]

I understand where you're coming from in terms of yards and points. You're correct that if your team doesn't give up points, it is doing its job, but if you're giving up that many yardage, then that tells me that they're on the field way too long than they should be (depending on the circumstances) and not getting the ball back to the offense sooner than they should.
The Chiefs are 32nd in the NFL in giving up yardage, and if they were in the 15-20 range for points given up, they would be doing their jobs, thus, the definition of mediocre/below average. Unfortunately, that is not the case, because not only they're giving up a lot of yardage, they're also giving up points as well (they're 27th in the NFL in points given up). [Reply]
