Luckily, if the Chiefs lose that game, they will still have a better division record than the Chargers thanks to Denver, and apparently HFA as well after today. Life got a lot less difficult after today.
This week was huge for the Chiefs. I thought the Texans were going to win out and the Pats still have one more home game they could stumble.
No doubt. I am really done with these Winter games (well, not there yet, but there's snow in the forecast, apparently) being a waiting game for x dumb loss that makes no sense. I harp a ton on winning by multiple scores if nothing else, to avoid fate.
Anyone advocating retaining Sutton at this point is advocating the indefensible at this point looking at Hitchens, the tackling, and playcalling I'd say at this point. It's a shame if this defense creates a bitter postseason with their ineptness.
Sutton has to be the fall guy.
I suspect that's exactly what we're gonna get though outside of maybe a RB. There's some real truth to it, but I don't they the organization sees it like we probably do.
The Chiefs went all-in on run defense last offseason. Footballoutsiders rank against the run in 2018? You guessed it: 32nd. And its last place by a very large margin.
Yeah, when Hitchens all of the sudden goes from elite run defender to maybe the worst LB in the entire league, it's hard to come to any other possible conclusion at this point. Unreal how bad this Run D is with all the resources poured into it.
They brought in the Eagles dlinemen the year before and had the same result. Its definitely the system the Chiefs run.
