It's like an endless cycle of the same stuff and I know it's maddening. I'm not posting this to be an ass or as some veiled attempt to talk smack. I realize that Denver isn't doing anything special this year unless they turn things around on offense. And, I sincerely long for the days when the AFCW is a beast again - overall with all teams playing well.
You guys have had an amazingly weird season and things got really bad this week. Injuries suck and losing guys like Charles are hard to overcome. It's like the franchise takes two big steps forward in the offseason and then three steps back.
So, just saying that I'm not going to get too involved with any commentary because you guys are tearing your worlds apart with all the talk around players, coaches, next year... there's no need in trying to pee in the pool at this point.
I hope things turn around, you'd like to think that Reid has an idea as to what his plan is and how to overcome it. Maybe it's time to blow it up again, but hell, that seems crazy.
You guys are a great fan base and you deserve to sit on top for a while, I do hope that happens soon. Sucks to be at this point so early in the season. Tex and others will flame away with the mule tool rhetoric and that's fine.

As someone who's a life long Chiefs fan who has also lived in the Denver area for years, the differences in the franchises start at the top, and go all the way down to the fans.
One main difference at the top is that when the Donkeys make a mistake at HC and/or GM, a la Josh McDaniels, they fire him halfway through his 2nd season. CHunt would never do anything like that, he doesn't have the stones, and his dad was the same way for the most part (see Carl Peterson). As Chiefs fans, we have to live with our (never-ending) mistakes for 3 or 4 years, minimum. So those of us who are bright enough to have figured out that Andy Reid couldn't win a championship with the modern-day equivalent of the 93 Cowboys roster, let alone the stiffs the Chiefs run out there annually, know that we're doomed to see the same thing-or worse-for at least another season and a half.
The difference in the fanbases is that donkey fans simply wouldn't put up with this shit. You're just too spoiled at this point. Donkey fans view success in terms of Super Bowl CHAMPIONSHIPS, Chiefs fans view success as making it through a season without one of our players killing himself in our stadium parking lot. Chiefs fans are just as passionate, we've just been beaten senseless for so long, we're ****ing numb to it. We're like zombies. We expect complete disaster at all times. Being a Chiefs fan is like being a heroin addict, it eventually steals your soul.
