You cannot pass the ball worth a spit. And believe it or not, YPC becomes far more important as the playoffs get closer. With Orton being a medium and short zone guy only, playoff teams will do what Baltimore did. Eat up the short zones and stop the run. Dare Orton to throw deep, which he won't/can't. And you'll be one and done even if you make it that far.



Even as a Chiefs fan it was actually more preferable that the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs in Herm's first season. It delayed the house cleaning and hurt this franchise in the long run. So no, that's not always the case. Second, being some teams doormat for the playoffs doesn't exactly set the tone for offseason confidence. It tends to linger for a while. Don't think so? Ask super bowl losers, who most certainly have SB hangovers (this years Card team is a rare exception thus far).

Basically your team will still end up being average. And as long as Orton is behind center and Coach Corky is on the sidelines, that's how it will stay.
