    Not sure of the stats but it seemed a lot of 3rd downs were 5 or less. Hard to stop anything less than 7

    and to take that one step further, we get beat on the same 3 step drop and throw at the sticks. Our CBs are nowhere to be found, it's like they're playing 10 yards back and playing passive prevent defense on 3rd and 5. WTF? Sick of getting beat everytime by the undeneath crap.

    ok billy. can you just pleez shut the fuck up now. we could have won the game and you'd still find something to bitch about.

  • I don't think you know what prevent defense is.

    We blitzed on a third and 7 early in the game, how did that work out for us? Oh, a Jamaal Charles 30 yard screen?

    You're a fucking idiot. If we'd have applied pressure every down you'd be bitching about that.

    Sit down, child.

  • This forum always makes me feels better after a tough loss. The mental midgets always entertain me, even if I don't have the proper clearance to read everything.

  • we got decimated on screens yesterday. Absolutely obliterated. We always have gotten beat on screens and could never defend them, been going on for 15 years now.

  • In other news, the defense limited the Chiefs to 3 points in the second half - and those were gifted to them by Campbell's fumble. Better things to come?

    the Chiefs are an average NFL offense. they rank 16th in total yards. Besides, GREAT defenses don't allow games like the 1st half to happen.

    Campbell fumbled? I don't remember that. KC got their 3 points after we had to go for it on 4th down and Bess couldn't make the catch for the first down.

    Yep, my bad. Cambpell was stripped/fumbled, but it was negated by a penalty. Then we turned over on downs. Wrote that before I'd watched the game, I only saw the gamecenter coverage. Either way, the point stands, the 3 points they scored in the second half were nothing to do with the defence. They did absolutely everything the could to give us a shot of winning, got the three-and-out straight after the turnover.

    Yes the defense was much better in the 2nd half and did give us a chance to win the game after looking rather dismal in the first half. Probably didn't help that the offense only ran 9 plays in the first quarter and a half.
