Hard to get one of those when you're three yards away from the receiver. 😊 Just kidding. Except for Ward and a mix up in coverage the defense looked hopeful. Not good, just not as bad. They kept an elite runner from dominating the game and kept most pass plays in front of them. How did Thronhill play? I'll take a few rookie mistakes if he gets the experience to become solid while the Chiefs are still racking up wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run defense was solid I thought. Much improved from last year. I think when Foles went down, they probably felt Minshew wasn't going to beat them and probably played accordingly. Not perfect defensively, but it felt like an actual NFL defense was on the field. Fuller was in really good coverage on Foles long touchdown, it just was a fantastic catch. I thought he played ok also. The game wasn't broadcast at the end due to technical difficulties, but they really seemed to back off a little, especially towards the end. It was really hot out there. Reid seemed to pull back on offense aslo, just running the ball a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The Chiefs played a lot of prevent type of coverages and Minshew kept taking the underneath routes, outside of a few passes. Jag fans are gonna be in for a ruke awakening soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dksww 484 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Only like 2 penalties on the Chiefs all game which was nice to see. DL forced 5 Holding penalties and a clipping penalty on the JAX OL That's huge. Those are basically like a sack or 10 yard loss for the offense that don't show up in the box score. McCoy looked better than I thought he would. Defensive tackling was much better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Just re-watched the game on game pass. Last 6 minutes not included. I think the defense looked much better. Once KC had a lead they seemed to play soft keeping everything underneath. Way more guys running to the ball. Did not see a lot of blitzing. Jags QB had the Alex Smith going on short stuff. I am now encouraged. First game...much better...forget the stats....thats fantasy crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That's a good defense and a team that was really geared up to beat us. And then we go out and score on our first 7 possessions. I mean this is different level stuff and clearly it really frustrated them. Thinking we may have to scale it all back until Patty gets the ankle healed up though.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 How about Harrison Butker. The guy has now made 23 straight FGs inside 50 yards and his kickoffs routinely are out of the end zone. He's already one of the elite kickers and just turned 23. Great move by Veach picking him off from the Panthers PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm encouraged about is the mis communications should get cleaned up as the season goes on, our offense is more explosive than last year, we hung 40 on a very good D, and we get some help in 3 more weeks from Claiborne. You are right, we should be encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I hated that every time they ran the ball they gained at least 5 to 8 yards...oh wait that was last year and didn't happen against a solid RB yesterday. To me that is all I could realistically hope for going in to a D rebuild. Very encouraging to see, the rest will come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azchief21 5,278 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Offense looked great. Mahomes was Mahomes. Watkins lit it up. O line did better than I thought they would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,160 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The run defense is definitely better and the plays given up in the secondary were very good execution plays by the Jags. Another thing I noticed is how fast the Jags defense was, but they had to be, because the Chiefs offensive players were very fast also. There were times were they desperately stopped the Chiefs for big plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Thronhill play? I'll take a few rookie mistakes if he gets the experience to become solid while the Chiefs are still racking up wins. 2. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) Preseason ranking: 2 Rookie who flashed: Juan Thornhill, S How the newcomer starred: Thornhill stood out among Chiefs' rookies mainly because he was the only one starting. Thornhill had been a backup throughout the preseason but was promoted on Sunday and led the Chiefs with eight tackles. Thornhill was impressive in training camp because of his range and playmaking ability. Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said during camp he usually didn't trust rookies enough to start them in the season opener, but Thornhill played well enough to be an exception. -- Adam Teicher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a 6th rd backup QB who completed his first 13 passes in a row, went 21 of 25 for 275 yds and 2 TD. His QBR was 79.7 and his Passer rating was 122.5 (10th in the NFL)- avg pass went for 11.0 yds. ( Mahomie avged 11.5) If that encourages you, that's a low bar you have set for yourself.

Well to be fair 142 yards of passing and 2 tds came after we were up 37 to 13. A lot of his passes were very short and starting off 13 for 14 he did not have much if any yards with no tds to show for it. A lot of his stats came in what many call garbage stats.

Minshew came in the game when it was 17-7....Still playing against the starters....8, 20, 4, 11, 69, 7- his passes in the First half , a 10 pt game. Then 6, 5, 12, 7, 1....then the fumble and KC goes up by 17. He didn't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,664 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Pursuant to the thread title, and well reasoned concerns of fans from other teams regarding our defense notwithstanding, I was very encouraged by the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
