Chiefs are not the 2014 Patriots, so forget about that

There is Hope for the Chiefs

Here is the hope that I see. The 2016 Chiefs roster on paper, is better than the 2014 Patriots roster. It speaks to the dominance of Brady/Belichick when Rob Gronkowski and Julien Edelman are the only two starting skill players left from that team and they still win. (Amendola was there but he didn’t make much of an impact) I’ll take Jeremy Maclin and Chris Conley over Brandon LaFell and Aaron Dobson. The running back situation is no question and even defensively the Chiefs have the players needed to limit good offenses. (Again, on paper)

Unfortunately the talent on the Chiefs offense is being wasted by a conservative playbook and a limited interior offensive line. On defense, the Chiefs cannot get the pressure they need to help out their young secondary. If they can finally look at themselves and see what success actually means in the NFL then maybe they are primed for a deep playoff run. If it stays the same then I have complete confidence the Chiefs will travel again on wild card weekend this time to their doom.

I have hope for this team. I am not jumping ship but something has to change or the Chiefs will turn in another winning yet frustrating season.

We’re on to Oakland.
