Why can\'t you fathom the Chiefs winning the division? I guess from the outside it is, we\'ve been pretty pathetic since Trent Green & Priest Holmes & half the O-line retired/left in free agency. This new team though, they play hard every play, and have had arguably the best drafts in football the past few seasons (was super excited to see them draft Eric Berry, guy is gonna be damn good). Players that never lived up to expectations under previous coaching staff (Herm Edwards.. bleh) finally playing like the first round picks they are (Glenn Dorsey, Derrick Johnson, Tyson Jackson, Dwayne Bowe) Ownership went out and hired a GREAT (IMO) General Manager who put together a great coaching staff. I\'m excited to see how good this team can get over the next 2-3 years. We are very young (I think youngest team in the NFL on average?) and a lot of these guys are only going to get better (Brandon Flowers is a STUD). Our weakest point is Cassel, I\'m not really sold on him although he has played much better the past few weeks.
I\'m excited in the direction they are going. By no means did I think they would be this good this quickly, but I also don\'t think it\'s a fluke. We\'ve played well against good teams, and destroyed bad teams.
It made me smile watching the Broncos get absolutely throttled by the Raiders. Will be interesting to see how things shake out in the AFC West. Chiefs are in the drivers seat, but I still worry about the Chargers finding their way and eventually winning out.
