That’s one thing that I pride myself on being is a team player. The team first before Frank. I’ve gotten to where I am today by being a great teammate, not being a great individual player — to keep it real.”

We're lucky it was Drew Lock at qb and not someone competent.

Haha wow you are a fucking idiot.

As the Kansas City Chiefs offense was made painfully aware of tonight, it doesnt matter how easy you go up and down the field if you cant score points.

Another stellar outing for the D. 16 points surrendered, 2INT, and a snuffed 2pt play.

If the offense had shown up today, nobody would be saying shit about giving up 16.

Lock threw two INTs. And a pile of INC passes. You think that wasn't the result of pressure?

It doesn't help when the refs aren't calling holding. On the last DEN drive Bolles bearhugged Clark and picked him up off the ground and there wasn't a flag.

Jones got doubled a lot, but also was held pretty much every play. The play where he dropped Gordon for a loss late in the game, he had two OLs hanging off his jersey, and no flags.

I don't know what's going on, but we aren't getting any calls in our favor from the refs lately. And the infractions are starting to get egregious.

Seems like the Chiefs defense tend to struggle in the first half or so.

But then seems like the light switch usually comes on in the 2nd half, especially in the 4th quarter.

The Chiefs defense allowed 1.93 yards per play and a 73% defensive success rate in the fourth quarter.

That included three drives, all protecting a lead of less than a touchdown.

Chief Fan doesn't understand pressure. If it's not a sack or a turnover, it doesn't count.

Probably more because he sucks we did get some pretty tonight. Lock held the ball too long and Spags was more aggressive about sending people. I imagine Spags saw that the offense was sucking tonight and knew he had to do something extra.

I think that post was about a specific player, not the defense in general. :-)
