The Chiefs Defense Is Not Improving

This isn't a "sky is falling" post. It is just highlighting that Clancy Pendergast's defense has been horrendous, and we shouldn't allow perception to obfuscate the numbers nor allow Pendergast to hide behind the dismal offense.
The Chiefs defense is worse than last year, or equally as bad at best.
Why do I say this? Let's look at the yards allowed each week:
Week 1: Ravens - 501 yards allowed
Week 2: Raiders - 166 yards allowed
Week 3: Eagles* - 420 yards allowed
Week 4: Giants - 429 yards allowed
*McNabb and Westbrook did not play
While obviously terrible individually, they amount to 1,516 yards allowed in total.
Now let's look at the rancid 2008 Chiefs' first 4 games, over whom we are supposedly improved:
Week 1: Patriots* - 338 yards allowed
Week 2: Raiders - 355 yards allowed
Week 3: Falcons - 378 yards allowed
Week 4: Broncos - 446 yards allowed
*Brady was knocked out of the game early in the 1st quarter
The historically awful 2008 Chiefs had given up 1,517 yards total. 1 entire yard worse than this year.
The natural counterarguments have been:
1. "But, the offense is leaving the defense on the field too long. They are exhausted."
2. "We've been playing against playoff teams."
3. "It's a new scheme and it takes time to adjust."
Rebuttals after the jump.

Hey. It's Monday. Time to worship at the altar of JERRUH on national TV once again.
ESPN assures me this will be a party. Don't let ESPN down.

It's sparkly and there are Romangels everywhere!
It appears Satan is a Cowboys fan too! Awesome! I think it is the star that won him over.

Ron Edwards now listed as first-team nose tackle.
Ryan O'Callaghan moves to starting right tackle.

Anyone who happened to watch the Chiefs and Raiders game last week couldn't help noticing defensive end Glenn Dorsey's disruptive day.

Nice to see that others recognize Dorsey's play. Enough with the bust talk...Dorsey had a solid rookie campaign and is positioning himself for a very solid 2nd year.

Michael Irvin drunk on NFLN.
Did anyone else see Michael Irvin live on NFLN from Dallas just now? He did 2 different live segments, and he was slurring his speech and having difficulty opening his eyes while wobbling. Just embarrassing.

Gunther - New team, his scheme, absolutely no gleam.
As bad as our defensive statistics were against Baltimore, our defense outperformed Gunther's new squad. Gun's autonomous rebirth has yielded similar results to his last few years in KC.
Via the stats in the link, below are what his new defense allowed:
Points 45
1st Downs 28
Total Plays 69
Total Yards 515
Passing 358
Rushing 157
3rd Down Conversions 9-13
Possession 36:30
New place, new personnel, same result. Who is he going to blame this season?

It's Raider Hater week baby!
Moved to the FanShots on behalf of makesomenoisearrowhead
Yes today's games was a downer would've been great to walk away with a win, but overall I think there was some positives from the game, and we had a shot to win it. Now it is time to move on, we got the Oakland Raiders coming into Arrowhead. If there is any team in the NFL I hate the most it is the Raiders. Arrowhead Stadium better be rockin' on Sunday, I can't wait to tailgate and scream my lungs out for the Chiefs.
Tell me why you hate the Raiders.
For me I can't stand Al Davis.
Arrowhead Stadium the loudest stadium in the NFL!

Observation!
Moved to the FanShots on behalf of member Joe Meehan
Cmon lets get serious! Disgrace...
Enough of the bullshit we got absolutely smashed today. We never looked liked it. Things looked up for a moment when Thiggy came on for a 5 yard wildcat rush but at the end of the day Brodie Croyle DOES NOT Have it. Our D Line got absolutely killed today. In the shotgun we never even got close. I think we did well to get away with 38 points against. Fine you do that, score on offense. I don"t care what anyone says, Brodie Croyle is not a 30 point plus a week QB.
The real score may have been 38- 10
We have trouble big time!!!

Reminder: The NFL Season begins tomorrow night. Be sure to set your AP fantasy rosters accordingly for the players who will be in tomorrow night's game.
If you didn't know the first game of the season is tomorrow, I am ashamed of you. So, so, ashamed.
