The Chiefs are right there with every other very talented but flawed team in the conference. Yes, they can absolutely get to the SB and it wouldn't take any miracles to get there.
I'm not inclined to get into another ****ing Alex Smith discussion, but to say that a team simply cannot contend for a SB with Alex Smith is just 100% devoid of reason.
Again, if you're 3 seasons into this and you're still starting every season with 'who cares, Alex Smith is still here', then you really should step away from the team until he's not. I was wholly prepared to do it with Pioli. I'm doing it with the Blues as well. If you're completely fatalist about a franchise then you cannot derive any joy from it. If that's the case...walk away.
California Chiefs shit doesn't do anything to foster further discussion. It doesn't do anything to encourage discourse or even reasoned disagreement. It's just more Eeyore bullshit. It's not 'intelligent analysis' or proof of anyone's knowledge as a football fan - it's just being a goth kid.
Enjoy dressing in black but don't flatter yourself into believing that your side of this particular discussion is any more enlightened than it's polar opposite.
