These players are drafted and signed because they are supposed to be scheme fits so when one guy goes down, the next guy steps right in. You don't change an entire scheme to accommodate a few players. They ran the same defensive scheme because these guys are supposed to have a smooth transition but the players aren't as good. That's the problem. And there are 4 of them out there.

Changing our scheme with a downgrade in talent doesn't really help much. Eventually the lack of talent is going to show and be a problem. That's why they are backups

What we did worked fine when our defense was fine. What we did this week didn't work because affected by missing an interior starter. A starting LB that got hurt on the opening series, both of our starting DBs out which is why Ridley had his way with Elam. Rousseau was out. You may not wanna look at it that way but it was a huge factor. You're one of those where our entire defense could be 11 backups and would say "the problem is our scheme". Not having guys that are very good high profile starters matters

Yes they did. They showed his leg getting all twisted up in a pile of players

How can we stop them consistently with 4 missing defensive starters?

Yes but we were also operating with a defense down 4 starters. That makes a difference. It irritates me when I hear "no excuses" when we are missing almost half of one side of the ball. One player is one thing. 4 players is a different story. Kaiir Elam is a major problem. The Jags probably don't convert a bunch of 3rd and longs with Tre White out there. Or possibly even Benford out there. That stuff makes a difference

Ok. Everyone needs to continue making plays lol. Not just them. Hyde has made plays is what I'm saying

Hyde had 2 picks coming into today. He got beat on a deep ball today that he shouldn't have been covering Ridley on anyway

So, we haven't lost 4 defensive starters that wouldn't have made a difference?

He beat Cincinnati in 2019

Then you have to take into account that the Chiefs will have to lost 2 or 3 more times to even have a chance at it and we are already a game back

Part of that is the shotgun run plays on 1st and 10 and 2nd and 10

Just stop? Lmao. How will we get the 1 seed with no Tre White, Matt Milano, DaQuon Jones for an extended period of time. Kaiir Elam is a huge liability in coverage. We have to hope Benford doesn't miss anymore time. It's a mess right now. Just pure fact. It isn't gonna be easy

The 1 seed is out the door with all the injuries. We will make the playoffs but I don't even know if we are winning the division now at this point

Allen played well. So, yeah it makes sense that they would have won lol

The Chiefs also get a lot of help from the refs. I know that isn't the only reason but they are treated now like the Patriots were when they had Brady from the refs. They got away with a blatant pass interference in the enzone on a 4th down play at the end of the game today because the "ball was tipped". Replay clearly showed it wasn't tipped. Cousins got hit when he threw it but the ball was never tipped. They got calls at the end of the game last week against the Jets too. Also, has KC ever had 5 guys missing at any time on one side of the ball? It's one thing to lose one player. But 4 or 5?

Jesus Christ. No

I love seeing the Patriots lose

Yes, under pressure on both. He hits those with no pressure

Not sure what the problem is. Bench him

They apparently did a lot of research on it. The good thing is, we shouldn't have to make the trip there again for another 8 years

Goodell sucks

Jacksonville also goes there yearly. So even though they left at the same time last week, they know a bit more of how it works

1st and 10 shotgun runs up the middle are bad play calls. That's why they are complained about. Not because they don't work

Kaiir Elam is bad
