The impression I'm left with is that even if we won the Super Bowl there would be bashing criticism of us not doing it right...we should've done this or that.
I have been nothing but positive since the win over Denver in Denver. From there we had significant & promising coaching changes, of which it is being said by a majority among the NFL, that the Chiefs have assembled one of, if not the best coaching staff in the NFL. Our off season moves & changes are intimidating our Rivals! A majority believe the Chiefs will have a legitimate shot at the AFC West Title, and be the turn around team in 2010. To read some posts here however, one would think our Chiefs are not only doomed in 2010, but we will be the worst team in the NFL!
We have drafted some young talented players of whom many professional analysts, as well as fans of other teams...are not only impressed with, but saying we have drafted some exceptional talented atheletes who will help the Chiefs win. We aren't done yet! We still have until September to improve our team further through the FA, trades.
Furthermore...many make no mention of there being many uusual negative factor's & circumstances last year beyond many players control, of which affected their game...including the firing of our OC & throwing out the playbook 2 wks before regular season began. There was the LJ fiasco, Bowe's suspension, injuries, a new GM & coaches, so much more that other teams in the NFL did not face in such abundance.
With all those obstacles & distractions affecting our Chiefs...we managed to win 4 games, twice as many as the year before...we ended the season in the most incredible way possible! Beating Denver IN Denver, and by many points! We had players set NFL records in that game, as well as franchise records!
Those many negative aspects our Chiefs faced in 2009 are not factored into stats, and the stat's don't tell the rest of the story. I don't believe it's possible to judge any aspect of the 2009 Chiefs fairly, including the OL. I don't believe our 2009 Chiefs team was as bad as our record indicates. I think Pioli & coaching staff hold that same opinion, which likely is why they aren't addressing some issues in the draft some fans feel they should have.
The 2010 season has not even begun yet, and there is absolutely no justified reason to be so negative, rather the opposite...we have so much to look forward to positively as we enter a new season.
GO CHIEFS 2010! YEEHAW! We're back!
