So if the Chiefs flaws last season were too great to overcome in their quest to win a Super Bowl and this year’s team has the same flaws is there reason to believe that IF the Chiefs were to turn things around (again) and make the playoffs (again) that the end result would be any different?

Yes, this is a different team than last year, but ultimately if Andy Reid and Alex Smith have the same flaws and aren’t showing any improvement towards those flaws it has to make you wonder if this team has already reached its max potential with Reid and Smith at the helm?

OR…..

Are we simply overreacting after a horrible loss to a very good team that is ultimately just one game?

I really and truly hope it is the second of those options, but right now its awfully hard to shake the feeling that it could be the first option. Here’s to hoping that the Chiefs come out after the bye week and look like a new team. In that regard, the bye week probably couldn’t have come at a better time. Let’s just hope the Chiefs use the bye week to do what they apparently failed to do this offseason……learn from their past mistakes.

As always, thanks for reading and GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!
