When you're so bad at run defense you make it a legitimately good choice to run the ball at you consistently, that's pretty impressive(ly bad). https://t.co/hFnQIuLKqe

But look at the Panthers. Best defense in the league. Until they played a good offense. Then it wasn't anymore and they gave up 36 points.
Defense just doesn't win in the league anymore against elite offenses. It's too hard.
So, get yourself an elite offense and get a D that will get 2 punts, a turnover and not be an absolute sieve.
I can buy into that...Problem is, KC has an absolute sieve. [Reply]
With the Kaindoh injury, Jones's wrist issue and the Willie Gay stuff emerging today one has to wonder how long Veach waits to make a move or two? Because sooner or later he may have no choice. [Reply]

What's he going to do? There's not many options. [Reply]

His move was already made. He cut Tim Ward and we're feeling the consequences of that. Veach is tremendous but he does hang a slider on occasion. [Reply]
The only saving grace here is the offense is pretty locked up so apart from sorting out a contract with Orlando Brown (or finding another left tackle), Veach can over-react/blow up the defense in the offseason.
Re-sign Matthieu
Cut Clark and Hitchens
Add a big name free agent (Chandler Jones?), draft a 1st round DT, 2nd round corner etc etc. [Reply]
Believe it or not guys, we haven't even played a quarter of the season. Let's just beat the Bills tomorrow night and have patience. Every year there is first half and second half teams. Let's hope the light comes on when it matters most for this defense. [Reply]
The practice squad QB in Philadelphia looks like a practice squad QB again today. 51% passer rating 79 yards and an INT. Seriously Mahomes and the offense probably need 55 to win tonight. [Reply]

Don't hold you breath. He won't do anything most likely. We thought he would before and didn't. The issues we have cant be fixed during the season. [Reply]
I think Mahomes needs to call a team meeting and get everyone pumped up. Mother fuckers we’re walking over coals for him the last 2 seasons. He needs to reignite that fire. [Reply]
