Re: Struggling defenses face off when Chiefs visit Saints
So who wins is the team with the defense that sucks the least on Sunday? That's encouraging.

Re: Struggling defenses face off when Chiefs visit Saints
Why even put either defense on the field? Lets just have an offensive slug fest.

You know that dude can probably hit like a LB
Hey, I know it sounds crazy, but I mean, given the yards/points we're giving up now, I'm game for any kind of creative solution and that would be just plain fun to watch |
