People, mainly the national media, is overlooking the defensive overhaul. They brought in a very good defensive coaching staff. Turned over half their roster. Upgraded their weakest position (safety) and turned it into a strength. Defensive line is stacked. CB's are improved but lack depth. I like the LB's now that Hitchens is back home in a 4-3. Dorian O'Daniel is made for a 4-3 WSLB. Ragland is the only question mark. The defense will be top 20 and if they gel they could finish in the top 10. They just can't afford a CB injury. 

This Chiefs team will be better than last years team baring key injuries. 

Chiefs gave up 421 pts last year and still won 12 games. 

Giants gave up 412 pts and won a meager 5 games. 

Can you imagine a Chiefs team with Mahomes and just a LITTLE bit of defensive help?

this assumes the Chiefs continue scoring 35 per game which is highly unlikely. They could get their scoring defense down to 22-23 ppg but also their offensive scoring down to 28-30 per game. 

 

Their chances of going to the SB and winning it would still go up though. Terrible defenses almost never win Super Bowls even if they are supported by high powered offenses.

Kinda laughing that you think a team scoring 30 pts a game is a downward trend lol.

Bold statement if you go into Foxborough in January needing to score 35 points you’re going to be disappointed.

I mean that’s all fine and this is not directed at you,  but literally no one was picking the Chiefs to win, in the Indy game, up until the game started.  

It was only after that people started talking about how the Chiefs should have won like that and the Colts were beat up. 

 

 

Hmm? Kansas City was favored majorly over Indy that game. On the road, in winter-like weather conditions? No one was picking the Chiefs to win? You guys had an all-time offense last season, it would've been a major upset had y'all lost.

Apparently Mahomes is now the NFL equivalent of Hermione Grainger; able to hard carry a team that is completely useless.

Well not completely. But he and the offense did carry that defense.

They were favored by like 5 or 6, but public opinion was leaning towards Indy going into that game.

tbf down from 35 ppg it is, doesn’t mean is bad, but it is lower - 35 ppg is such an unsustainable thing and that offense is something special 

i’m wondering if that huge offensive leaguewide spike was an exception or the rule; that’ll be the defining factor in whether or not we see more offended like the 2018 chiefs or not tbh

The Pats won it all last year with an average score of 27-21.

I think KC could manage 28-22...

However, we must remember that nobody has held a Mahomes led team to under 26 points yet. So I expect KC to average atleast 30ppg in 2019. Without Hunt and Watkins, KC still averaged 32.2ppg (5 game span).

Thats what happens when you have a great QB: it doesn’t matter what your lineup is, you still put up big points
