DefensiveMan 758 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Brendan Daly will be a key factor in this game. He won a few SBs with NE and he's now on KCs end as defensive line coach. McDaniels was an offensive coach under Spags in Stl with the Rams....very intriguing ties in this game. Sam Madison , DB backs coach played against NE when he was a Dolphin and won a SB with the Giants in 07 with Spags against NE. Chiefs definitely have the brains on the defensive side to win this ball game. It will be up to the players to go out and execute. No more excuses.

sith13 1,746 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Looks like Brady was limited in practice. With all the kicker issues as well this one might end up easier than expected. They sure will run it though which is always tough for our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm not. It's all mind games. Pats leave no angle untouched to try and get an advantage. It's one of the reasons they have dominated for so long. That having been said...I can't recall the last time I felt the Patriots were so beatable. DefensiveMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our run defense seems to suck in a different way this year. The total yards are about the same, but it seems like rather than getting gashed for 5-7 yards every single time, we mix a few negative plays in with some 60 yarders. That seems to have allowed us to at least get some stops. I could be imagining that. But seems like we do enough to at least stop drives occasionally.

Not sure but it seems like the Chiefs have been playing more man coverage now that their secondary is communicating better. That's the recipe for success against NE. Their receivers can't get open. No Gronk, Hogan, or Develin this year is big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, defense seems to be focused on the big stop behind the LOS and if that works they generally come up solid for that series. Otherwise it's either a stop by DBs for a first or an even bigger play. We sure are missing quite a bit of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamixoye 604 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It would be a shock if Brady doesn't play. He may very well have some nagging injury, but I can't remember the last time he missed a game for something other than the ACL (not saying it didn't happen, I just don't remember). Might be mind games by the Patriots, I'm sure Andy will see through it, just like we did with Mahomes a few weeks back. I agree that the run defense seems more like boom or bust to me, but it feels like that means we get more stops. The advanced stats don't totally back that up. DVOA just says we're bad, but the pass defense is pretty good. I don't know, are teams really going to just commit to running some insane amount of time? It feels like we could stop them if that was the case. And if we can build a big lead (on anyone) then we rely on the run defense less (not that we haven't been burned once and then also a couple more times with leads this year).

To me this is clearly a more competent complimentary defense with the caveat that we still have a few gaping holes that are going to get exposed at times.

Beating them at home is a different animal. We've also been struggling lately on the oline with picking up stunts. We got killed in the first half of the AFCCG last year with that as well. Expect BB to run a ton of stunts til we start picking them up. Mloe68 and FANATIC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Fuller needs to have great game. Losing those two CBs really hurts. I am more worried about run defense though. But if we can block, Pat can score. It will be a big test. Hope Brady has another bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
