17 of those Chiefs points was not the fault of the defense. Defense did its job. Like many here asked, why wasn't the ground game more prominent? This loss does not look bad as it does on paper. This was a winnable game, considering.
I had pencilled in a L next to this one before the season and expecting it didn't cushion the blow because of the manner in which it happened. If it could go wrong it did go wrong and I think we went away from the run game after Grant picked up the knock.
With Fournette out and only Wild to share the running with Yeldon I think they just got scared of using him.
I had a look at the drive charts; we were in the redzone five times, those drives ended thusly; downs, interception, touchdown, downs, interception. Another drive ended at the KC 22 yard line with another interception. That's five redzone drives and just 7 points to show for it. Punch it in for two of those drives and suddenly the whole thing looks a lot better. BTW we were -3 in turnovers last week, the difference is we faced the Jets offense instead of the Chiefs.
Cut down on the turnovers and we'll look like the team that went to the AFCCG last year.

I agree but I think the turnovers were lead to fruition by horrible play calling. Our OC is just as bipolar as our QB....

This! The first time in the red zone it was 3rd and 1.5 yd for a first down and 3 yards for the TD RBB5 can fall forward for 1.5 yards and you get another 4 cracks at it to try any silly pass play you want then still run on 3rd and 4th. But noooooo he went to Moncrief who already was back to his lackluster play in this game. I mean I hate Brady but at least he knows if its less then 2 yards he can get it the majority of the time. We did such a good job on that drive running and short passes for a 11 plays lasting 6 min to keep KC off the field and then you blow it by not running it down their throats some more.
Now to be fair to the coaching staff. They believe in the Defense and thought if we dont make it we can stop them. Which we did with a INT and had a chance to take it score again still would only be 7-10. But the very next play parnell gets abused by Ford and he strips RBB5 from behind. one play here or there and the game ends differntly. Making any QB throw for 61 times is not good and does end up in turnovers most the time.

Especially with a patchwork line.
We finally had an answer on what Bortles was trying to do on the helmet INT:
(Phillip Heilman)
#Jaguars QB Blake Bortles says he was attempting to throw at T.J. Yeldon's feet on the pass that hit RG A.J. Cann's helmet and was intercepted.
LOL
