Chiefs Lions Game Thread

[Chiefsfan1963 1,101]

There are games like this all year long across the NFL. Games that the winners should have lost and vise versa. Be happy with the win and press on. You think the Rams care about the bad call on PI? Do you think NE cares about the tuck rule call? No, a win is a win and be happy with it. It's one step closer to the ultimate goal.

We need to trade one our RB’s or WR’s for a good CB.

I will say that I think Spags is doing the best he can with what he has and a shut down corner would help the entire D more than some on this board would give credit.  Locking down one target with one man can allow a DC to mask other areas of concerns and it can also give our front 4 an added millisecond or two to get home.   They scored that last drive by going right at Ward over and over.   I'd rather trade a pick if we are seriously making a run though.....

Let's see what happens when Claiborne gets up to speed.

It seems like our DB’s never look back for the ball.

I’m not totally talking about sacks. Impact, eye test, etc.

but we can keep making excuses for him.

I agree to a point.  He needs to start showing more.  But a lot of the rush yards came up the middle or to our left side.

Hopefully we didn’t give up all that for him to “seal” an edge......

and yet the defense is still giving up 200 a game

I think we're need linebacker or DT more

Mvp drive At the end. We are so used to watching that happen to us

Re-watch the game. Plenty of rushing yards on that side.

Good come back win.  Did not play well at all, all 3 phases were bad.  Still put 34 points, with 3 turnovers, on the road and won the game.

We still need help at CB.  Hopefully DEN wins today and puts JAX in sell mode for Ramsey.  We could really use it.

Chiefs' coaches will use this game as motivation because we really didn't deserve to win.  All 3 phases were bad today.  

Going forward every punt should be a fair catch.  Risking a fumble and chance for Mahomes to score is just not worth it.  Plus, most of the returns come back on holding anyway.

Same with kick returns.  Never return it unless caught at the 1 yard line.  

Offense was off today, timing with WRs and our run game was hit and miss.

Defense was up and down as well.  Made some plays then gave up plays.  Biggest weakness on defense is still not making a play on 50/50 balls.  50/50 balls are completed 90% of the time against the Chiefs it seems.  

Overall, very glad we got the win, the Chiefs are a really good team.  The TD drive to win the game was perfect and didn't leave DET much chance at the end although DET did get it to the 50 for a hail mary chance twice lol.

I think the Chiefs' coaches will be all over the Chiefs' player's asses this week and we see a better game out of them next Sunday at home against the Colts who gave up 31 to the Raiders and lost.

One last thing to ponder as well today is this was already our 3rd road game and things just aren't going to go your way every game on the road.

I'm sorry but only NE is giving up less than 200 yds per game before today. The next team is SF at 283.

We gave up about 500 

[FANATIC 852]

This defense needs a lot more than just a corner. Hitchens should be benched or released. Ragland is a rag. About 500 yards given up again. Clearly this is not a one or two key players away. Chiefs have mostly struck out drafting defense and free agents on defense. Need to look at who is making these evaluations.

Ward needs to be released too.

Defense may be a little better than last year and that may be enough.

I think Spags is a much better DC than you know?

To be fair we are only giving up 137.7 on the ground not 200

Hey I said I'd like to see a DT or LB brought in. We need someone next to Jones.  Hitchens and rags need to go.

Hitchens is bad.

cant hurt to let Saunders play

So yards are more important than points?

Let's stop being politicians or MSM, they have given up 132.1 yds rushing per game this year which is bad but not 500.

[ChiefThunder 153]

Our run D is bad. We're either getn blown off the line or LBs (mostly Hitchens) aren't filling. I've been waiting for Hitchens to come through, but he's not. We need to move on from him

[liquidfriend 1,151]

Well that's too bad.  Hitchens is guaranteed to be around for at least one more year.

I hope there is a little improvement.  That will go a long ways towards helping this D.   

[Lamardirts 2,114]

Has Damien Wilson been our best LB?   Yeah I hate that Hitchens hasn't even lived up to part of his contract.  We really need him to elevate his game.
