I certainly agree regarding the first two games. But this game -- a game is a series of plays, 120 snaps or so, and on those 120 snaps, Cinci's win rate in the trenches seemed statistically significant to me.

I'm expecting Seattle and the Raiders to be difficult. KC should smoke the Texans and Donx (TWICE!)

One game doesn't mean much. We are still 9 and 4, they are 8 and 5.

And yeah, the defense looked terrible today, yet the Chiefs had them exactly where they wanted for most of the 2nd half.
10?
how about 22
how bout some pressure
how bout not having linebackers not named Gay with impossible coverage assignments
how about not allowing chase to be on the other side of the field from mcduffie at will

Yeah, fuck fans who have been here more than 5 years!!
And nobody expects anyone in the NFL to hold teams under 10 every game anymore.
They expect to not have 'terrible' defense every time they face a quality opponent, particularly one they're ostensibly seeking long-simmering 'revenge' on.
I can’t fathom actually thinking that you have a better chance of making a 55 yarder and getting a defensive stop than Mahomes picking up a couple yards. Just indefensible, Hackett-esque bullshit.

**** you Spagnuolo. Walk your pussy ass back to Kansas City you bitch.
It's on Spags, Veach, & Reid. All three of them have had input to building the defensive line over the last few years. KC does not have the pass-rushing talent that you see with other teams around the league.
Poor talent evaluation can be seen with the Frank Clark deal. That sums it up right there. They gave a pretty average player a top of the market salary and gave up draft capital to get him. They have also been unable to find game changer pass rushing talent in the Draft over the last few years.

Why do you people never blame the players?
Chris Jones is the best DT in the league this year and he has done Jack shit against this team.
A fucking TE blocked him out of a running play. A TIGHT END
