Chiefs coverage and pass defense is hugely improved. There have been one or two blown coverages but most of the long completions allowed this year have been beautiful throws and ridiculous catches with a guy plastered all over the receiver. Very happy with that part of the defense.

It's still early, but the timing on sacks feels like it's improved too. Before we'd get a sack on first or second down and it wouldn't loving matter; against the Lions we had two huge sacks on 3rd down that either took them out of field goal range or turned 3rd and manageable into 4th and good luck.

My theory is replacing an awful defensive coordinator with another awful defensive coordinator probably will have similar results

I suppose, but I remember a few of us being rather pissed that Spagnuolo was the actual hire so I think you might be exaggerating what we thought a little bit.

But the thing is even with how awful he is, yes he's still better than Bob Sutton.

If I'm Bill Belichick I'm getting a bunch of cheap, bad white players and having them lower their heads into actually good defenders on the other team. Sorry Von Miller, Adam Humphries got hurt when he speared you in the face while carrying the ball. Ejected.

I think the problem is they are so bad at football they will fail in that task because good players are that much faster.

You'll never guess who is tied with Mike Evans for the NFL lead with four 40+ yard receiving plays, mostly because his last 40+ yard catch was in 2015

Anyway as expected he’s going to appeal. I remember thinking it looked fine live at full speed...still flag worthy but the slo mo angle made it look a lot worse. For reference (and other head shots from the week in the thread):

If you pick the camera angle that most obscures how he lowered his head deliberately into the guy's face and lunged, yeah it doesn't look like he did that.

He's a huge piece of poo poo and has a history of doing this, gently caress 'im.

Everybody else who did that should be suspended too.

No, you’re right. It was a different era. “Mean” Joe Greene would be getting suspended for the season if he played today.

The Burfict suspension is obviously because of his history of cheap shotting players. Just because he wasn’t playing for the Raiders while making a name for himself as a headhunter doesn’t mean he gets a fresh start

I said they'd better at least be slightly better.

And overall they're a little better by scoring D somehow so far, that run D is hilariously awful though.

Yeah, but now we have those dudes who played in the 70s and 80s and they're all kinds of physically and mentally hosed up and we all kind of collectively decided that bullshit isn't worth it - for them or for society.

Also - was football even that big in the 70s in hindsight? Would it be the equivalent of people caring about concussions and violence in roller derby today? poo poo gets big, more people watch, more people watch, the players make more money, the more money the players get the more they assert their rights to bodily autonomy and mental well-being, etc.

lol yes football was "even that big" in the 70s. Over 96 million people in the US watched the 1979 super bowl.
