It doesn’t matter how great a qb is against the blitz when he’s throwing to covered receivers.I know I’m looking wayyyyyy ahead, but if we face the Chiefs in the AFCCG, what the hell is our game plan on defense? Mahomes is great against the blitz and if we can’t generate pressure, we’ll be playing catch-up. I really don’t want to see them in the playoffs.

that’s the best thing about this defense, the blitz doesn’t have to get home every time because our DBs can lock down essentially any group. If it creates pressure it forces covered throws and throwaways, if it gets home it’s a sack, if it’s completely blocked then we’re still able to hold on long enough in coverage.
also, mahomes is an improviser, a risk taker, and a SPOT THROWER. One thing that really makes the chiefs go is the receivers ability to locate the ball up high and run under it and catch it in whatever opening mahomes finds, Marcus Peters being a ball hawk and film junkie strikes me as the type who will make mahomes pay, I think he will be able to sniff out those openings and bait the throws and make plays on them. Also; we really need to consider blitzing Earl Thomas less against a team like the chiefs.
Didn’t know thornhill was out, that’s major considering our passing game is TE based.if we do play them it probably will be about which defence can steal a possession either by getting the opposing offence behind the sticks with a holding penalty or sack or by actually forcing a turnover - both teams will score points, that's inevitable... they are 2 of the most efficient offences (when mahomes was actually in the team) in the history of the league so it's about which defence can get the stop - we didnt have to play against tyreek hill in week 3 but we also didnt have jimmy smith, marcus peters, josh bynes, lj fort, jihad ward, domata peko, chuck clark (as a starter) at that point too and even if we concede points what the defence has done well is that even when it's given up yards in the first half it's managed to hold teams to 3 points and adjusted at the half - no team has been able to stop lamar and this offence and a chiefs team that's missing thornhill now is potentially going to get wrecked by this version of lamar that they've not come across yet (+ it'll be in baltimore)

iirc andrews did absolutely nothing against the chiefs. If he can be his usual self vs the chiefs he would be a big difference maker, Hollywood should be the closest to 100% he’s been all year and dammit we gotta use him more, and also I still don’t trust KCs ability to man the hell up and stop a strong run game, which is something we definitely didn’t use much of in week 3
For some reason I have a horrible feeling about ya facing the chiefs, but I’m pulling out all the reasons why I should feel confident.
totally agree we need to use Hollywood more. BTW, Brown is the 4th best WR against press coverage in the NFL.Didn’t know thornhill was out, that’s major considering our passing game is TE based.

also even more often forgotten is the fact that we lost that game in 1 quarter... that 2nd quarter we gave up 17 points and scored 0 - with a turnover on downs and 2 punts
