The Chiefs routinely over achieved based on the rosters overall talent and that was because Marty willed them and coached them to succeed.
But in the playoffs you have to have superior talent and great coaching to win and we didn't have neither.

This is a joke right?
The stuff that everyone is griping about today is 'Marty lite'...did everyone enjoy KC's playoff appearance in January, because it was very much like the 'SB contending' Marty versions of the 90's...the mere fact that anyone could type that and not break out in uproarious laughter is beyond me. I certainly couldnt do it.
The ONLY reason that Marty got to the AFC Championship was on one player, Joe Montana. Pure and simple. Marty had ZERO to do with that and Carl made that call. While I can find many things to fault Carl for and the list is a 1000 miles long, but this is just absurd.
Marty/Herm are two sides of the same coin. Playing not to lose sucks now and it sucked back in the 90's. Holy crap.
I realize the 'grass is always greener on the other side' but this is ridiculous.
