The truth is that this team isn’t the one we expected all offseason. They’re capable of growing into that team as the season progresses, but honestly, what evidence is there that they will? It’s easy to think they’ll summon the steely-eyed perseverance of the 2015 season. Winning ten straight games isn’t much of a plan though.

It’s also helpful to remember that rebounding the way they did, hadn’t been done in close to 50 years. The Chiefs can’t keep relying upon their resilience and historic feats to blossom into the team pundits thought they’d be. At some point, they need to be well prepared, motivated, energetic and opportunistic.

What are your expectations of this team headed into the bye week? Can they rebound or is this team headed down a dark path that ends in failing to return to the playoffs? Can the Chiefs rebound from being humiliated on national television and beat the Oakland Raiders on the road? Is it time for a change to Kansas City’s offense?
