Im convinced its coaching (Chiefs showing how to handle Bengals)

Running the defensive scheme that Frazier employs also reduces the opportunities for turnovers. If there isn't enough pressure on the qb then the db's just sit back and tackle receivers after they make the catch. No aggressiveness on the back end and definitely never tight presses on the line of scrimmage.

We drafted a press corner in the first round last year.  Lucked into a really good zone corner later.  
 

Then we proceeded not to press, and scratched the zone corner for the press guy so the press guy could play zone in the divisional round.  

This is sad, kinda funny, and painfully true.

The Chiefs were very Bills-like on their last offensive series. Throws without burning the clock when they should have ran the ball. They’re lucky the Bengals didn’t get a TD out of it.

Agree, and it’s not just the clock. They were picking up about five yards a carry. One carry might have been enough to get in field goal range. That was frustrating old school Andy Reid stuff there.

Disagree. We absolutely have the talent to do it, Frazier simply won’t do it. He’s called the same defense for 6 years. 

Frazier is a huge part of the issue. But its running the scheme with lack of dline pressure..we predominantly run cover 3 zone concepts out of nickel formations we've run that far more than any team in the NFL since McDermott got here..the pressure has to come from the d lineman in that scheme we just haven't got it remotely consistently .

Frazier is a dinosaur, and he plays safe. Uncreative basic defense. It does not work in the playoffs.

Frazier and McD basically gave KC the blueprint for tonight. They demonstrated absolutely everything you don’t want to do against Cincy.

Get pressure and it changes everything. Our D plan had no clue what it was doing. We look like a high school team compared to KC. And it’s not talent. That was a 7th round pick getting the pick. 

Well yeah, pressure changes everything, as it is today.  And on 3 of KC's 4 sacks, it was no more than a 4 man rush, without so much as a zone blitz, a twist or a stunt.  It was just man beating man.  

 

none of our 1st or 2nd round draft choices got near Burrow. 

 

Not that coaching is blameless for failing to recognise it...far from it.  But damn, the pressure KC is putting on him isn't any imaginative scheming.

You can increase the possibility of pressure by playing more press coverage.

 

It takes longer to fight through press coverage than it does to just run off the ball.

 

That extra second or two is extra time the pass rushers have to get to the QB.

His contract. 

“We won 13 games,” Beane said. “It’s easy for us to sit here and question Dorsey…. everyone’s a Monday morning quarterback. Or Leslie Frazier, why didn’t you blitz more? Or why were the corners off? You can second-guess these guys all day long, but statistically speaking, we’ve had a really good defenses… Not everything was perfect for either one of them, but they’re both pros. You have to understand that sometimes games aren’t going to go for a player or a coach exactly how you want and that’s the reality of it.”

Doesn’t sound very much like there’s changes coming

Chiefs are down their #1 CB.


Theyre playing press with backups like Joshua Williams.

 

 

 

8 of their 22 starters today are rookies.  We would have those guys scratched or sitting on the bench in favor of a vet role player.  Unless forced to by injury of course and because they got no experience all season they wouldnt be ready for a game of this magnitude.

It’s a shame the Bengals didn’t play someone in the Wildcard Round who did almost everything right and could have been used as a blueprint.

 

Oh wait…

All of them, except DT. 

Especially LB. 

And without Snead (whose hurt), their CB’s are rough.

So Marlowe and whoever was backing up Poyer (Johnson) were better safeties?  LB I'll give you but Bolton is pretty damn good.  Outside of that we were playing almost all injury replacements so I'm not sure where we were more talented than the players KC has out there.

Our zone scheme works when:

1. We play average or worse QBs 

2. We have Von Miller causing pressure in under 3 seconds

When we don't, we need some creativity on defense and McD and Frazier need to see what other teams do before they implement a change. And that's kinda sad.

This quote from Beane at the press conference puzzled me: “I don't want to overreact to one game.”

 

Did he miss the wildcard game against the Dolphins?
