Yah, I think we are still "legit." The problem is you have to define what legit means. People need to face the facts that basically we have about a 30-40% chance of winning this game, and probably closer to 30%.
Most people ALREADY had the houston game chalked up as an L , so even if we lose the game it shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. Of course it will come as a shock to the reeruns / homers....but that is another story.
You question (I think) is a good one...
What will it mean if we are sitting at 3-2?
Well, lets just address what it will mean if we are 4-1 after this game first. If we beat Houston, I don't think anyone will be able to deny that this football team is MUCH better than most people thought it would be before the season started. We will all start thinking playoffs....and winning the division etc...It will be a nice dream. The first time in years many of us will have had these dreams LEGITIMATELY.
Bqack to your question. What will it mean if we lose to Houston in Houston on Sunday? My thoughts are it won't change anything very much. Before the season if you wouldve asked many people "What would you think of the Chiefs being 3-2 after the Houston game?" I believe their answers would range from "wow that would be great!" to "sounds about right." I don't think too many people would have been disappointed with 3-2 to start the season if you wouldve asked them in April.
I think it isn't the Houston game that is going to be the critical game....Our real test actually begins AFTER the Houston game in my opnion. Jacksonville, Buffalo, Oakland and Denver. Every one of them are games where we should have a chance to win.
I am not saying we can't beat Houston. In fact ~5 point underdogs or ~33% chance to win is better than I thought we would be before the season started. What I am saying is that should we lose to Houston your question will still not be answered....but it will be within 3-4 games after.
