Watching a team that can't get off the field on defense as the opponent is very content to hand off and attack the short passing game vs the LB's We end up watching a game where the opponent doubles up the TOP and runs about 90 plays.
Then when the Chiefs get the ball you know if there is one fuckup this shit is over. Offensive shootouts are fun but watching all these games where the opposing team has constantly 10+ play drives to the point of going for 4th downs is just so frustrating to watch.
After yesterday I really felt like I wasted my time, and Mahomes almost feels like an afterthought because he is legit never on the field. [Reply]

They don't even have to do that, every single team we play is going to hand off 30 times and attack short zones with deep shots. Also if it's 4th and short they'll probably go for it.
All of that means the Chiefs get destroyed in TOP and the offense has to be perfect or the defense is going to be on the field a whole quarter and when that happens it's game over. [Reply]
Our front 7 is a disaster. Especially with Jones out. I knew with him and Williams out it was gonna be even worse. You'd think a line of Clark, Nnadi, Jones and Okafor would be solid against the run. But they're awful. [Reply]

Every single LB on this team is horrific. I don't think I've ever seen a worse group, it would be like if you fired up Madden and they all were rated like 47. [Reply]
I literally stopped watching the game every time we went on defense. It was making me too frustrated and I had no interest in watching 6 yard runs over and over again for 10 minutes. [Reply]
The most frustrating part is these issues are the SAME issues we've seen year after year after year and they never get fixed....it's ridiculous. [Reply]

Pretty much just now they are being exploited more because the offense isn't as good due to injury and teams have decided oh well just hand off.
It's just so awful to watch, how can NFL players be so horrid in basic principles? [Reply]

It's not easy to "answer" when you're gagged.

Mahomes is under pressure nearly every time he drops back.
They get in this pattern where they feel like they have to rely on Mahomes to make some miraculous play.
They had a drive yesterday that was more short passes and methodical. They should be doing that more especially with the oline in shambles right now. [Reply]
I think what’s more frustrating is watching that drive where the Chiefs took 10 plays to get down the field and score. We know they can do it....but then Reid went right back to deep shots over and over again. We don’t have the offensive line or the defense that can do that.
And Erving can get the fuck off this team. The dude is not a LT. If he isn’t letting Pat get hit....then he’s being called for a penalty. [Reply]
