The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.
Steve Spagnuolo should get a medal. He took a defense composed of 6 new starters,
new to the team as well as to himself,
installed his version of the 4-3,
lacking a shut down DB,
a new safety and a rookie safety,
no legit top-tier MLB,
and a bunch of cast-off DTs/DEs from other teams as well as our own scrapheap (Okafor/Ogbah/KPass/etc.),
and turned them into a defense that held TB12 to 16 points.
And while I'm at it, I have to admit I was wrong. I said before the season started that Spags would be working miracles if he could get this unit to be a 20th ranked defense. He's far exceeded my expectations. With hat over heart, thank you Mr. Spagnuolo.
Now please reduce Drew Lock as efficiently as you did Joe Flacco. That is all. [Reply]
This defense has now hand delivered two victories for this team because the offense can't stop shitting itself to death.
This defense plays last year, were hoisting the Lombardi. Holding teams in check on the scoreboard, forcing takeaways/turnover on downs, and big plays in the endzone to end the game.
In true Chiefs fashion, when one side of the ball starts to look good, the other side has to go to shit. [Reply]

:-) We'll be fine. It wasn't too long ago, some were complaining that we were scoring too much and too fast, thus wearing the defense out.. [Reply]

How many Ravens games have you watched?
Their defense had to "bail them out" again today, too.
There are no perfect teams.
Football is a team game, just be glad the Chiefs have a team now instead of an offense and no defense. [Reply]
In the two meetings between the Chiefs and Patriots last year, the Patriots scored 43 and 37 points. 80 points. When we were the league-leading sack producing team (52).
