Main reasons for hope:

The Chiefs turned over the ball 4 times and were -3 in TO margin... and still won handily.

3 of those turnovers required tremendous defensive efforts to pull off (Howard INT, Hardman strip - he had no idea there was a defender coming off the sideline, and first tipped INT was great effort and agility by Van Ginkel)

They moved the ball at will against one of the better defenses in the NFL.

Sammy Watkins made an impact in the passing game

The DL played better early and made a bigger impact. Mike Danna especially stood out. Jones disrupted the game consistently.

Concerns:
The OL is in rough shape

^ That’s it. Literally the only NFL team I can see as a real threat to the Chiefs quest to repeat is the Rams, primarily because Donald, Brockers, and Floyd are a scary matchup for the Chiefs’ O.

Looks like a few teams could get hot and go all the way. Not sure that's much different or 2020 has just numbed me

And I think CP sometimes forgets that not only is the other team paid and has talent....but we as Champs we get their best shot. Teams are spending significantly more time preparing for us.

And we are 12-1---with a tough schedule.

In the salary cap age, every team is going to have areas of concern---we have our cap money spent in the right places.

Defense is what we wanted--top ten in points allowed and middle of the pack in yardage.

Offense can score from anywhere and is able to shut the door when needed.

Buttkicker appears back on track so special teams is good.

Just gotta run it back.

I am enjoying the hell out of this season.

This. The oppositions stats (like Tua yesterday) always seem good against the Chiefs because they fall behind and have to keep up with the Chiefs in scoring. That’s going to lead to more attempts, more passing yards, etc....

The OL needs help. Whether it's Wis off the practice squad or moving folks around some they need to do something. Like wondering if the defense was good enough last year the whole way to the OL this year. Every time they've faced a good DL, PMII has had to run for his life and the run game is crap. Somebody is gonna knock them out of bounds at the 10 in this "run it back" year if they don't figure it out.

Hope: Everyone else has major flaws as well.
Concern: Our line is beat up nearing the playoffs.
Hope: Theres time for them to get healthier.
Concern: I'm kind of out of ideas.

Hope:
They’re head and shoulders better than everyone when they care

Concern:
Sometimes they don’t give a shit for stretches and still win

Chiefs fans seem to struggle with the whole “were the best team in the nfl” thing. Sure, they may lose. Everyone does.

But damn
