Yeah, I\'m a Bears fan, too (Mike Brown is God, oh yeah, He\'s a Husker, too), but I\'ve been a Chiefs fan through thick and thin...from the 13-3 home field advantage years, to these years, and I hate them. The Chiefs do have some tools, and Green did get better as the year progressed. Vermiel is still trying to work in his Rams style offense, he\'s going to get rid of Derrick Alexander, which I hate, but he\'s 6.2 million against the cap, and the Chiefs got 4 up and coming recievers in Snoop Minnis, Sylvester Morris, Kennision, and there\'s this Canadian League McCaffery Protege that\'s about 6\'4 and who has excellent hands and speed, so who knows.
I know it wasn\'t totally on Trent Green, becuase the Defense was pretty awful during the first half of the season. I mean, in a game against the Cardinals, they let Arizona have the ball for 80% of the 2nd half. Even so, the Chiefs made nearly every game they lost competative, including both Oakland games, which they lost by a combined 5 points.
True, the Chiefs have a long way to go, but give it one or two years with some good draft picks and Vermiel doing good things, and the Chiefs could be playoff contendors sooner or later...just gotta hope.
