Yeah this talk of how we don't have a chance to beat the Pats because of our D is absurd. I had this feeling last year, and even more this year, that we can't be beat. We have not been out of any games since Patrick Mahomes has started. In Pat's 22 games including the playoffs we haven't lost a game by more than 7 points. That's unbelievable for a team with a good defense, but Pat did it all last year with an absolute trash defense.
People want to act like we can't beat them when our D is clearly better than last year and Our Savior looks even better than last year. So many people act like that D can stop us and we can't stop their offense. People are saying that D is the best the Pats have had because they have shut down 3 teams that are a combined 0-9 to start the season. Here are the points for and points allowed for these 3 trash teams:
Steelers - 49 PF and 85 PA
Dolphins - 16 PF and 123 PA
Jets - 33 PF and 70 PA
That comes out to 98 PF and 278 PA. Good for 10.8 PPG for the offense and 30.9 PPG for the defense. Let's see how the Pats D looks when they play a team that's not a cupcake.
[/QUOTE]Furthermore, it's one thing to say that, so far, Frank Clark for example, hasn't played up to expectations. It's another thing altogether to suggest it was a waste of money/picks, he's "trash", or some of the other hyperbole I've seen here over the last couple of weeks.[/QUOTE]
Im guilty of this. I think he will start to earn it though. [Reply]

Good post. I hope the defense gets better. It needs to get better. But right now, this team looks like the top of the AFC crop, even with this defense. [Reply]

Hehe.. FWIW: The Jets, Steelers, and Dolphins have COMBINED for 7 offensive TD's in 9 games. 5 by Pittsburgh!
KC has 12 TD's in 3 games. Against two of the NFL's top defenses.
I don't think people get this. A 'bad day' for this offense is, literally, failing to score 30 or more. We drop 28 and we're disappointed. It's not like playing the Jets and Dolphins.
Mahomes cannot be stopped. Statistically his worst game was against the Jags last year, and Kc moved the ball up and down the field all day against them. [Reply]

I'm sure you won't disappoint.
Put him on special teams. He’ll fit in there. [Reply]
Signing Clark to a huge contract was like if some team signing Demarcus Robinson to a big contract and then wondering why his production drops when he’s away from the Chiefs offense. Sometimes it’s about the system and not the player. [Reply]
