If there were more than one 31-0 game you might have a point, but there have only been 2 games the Chiefs were not in.
Realistic would be to write of how there were failures not to report that the team was a fraud. I really don't know where your head is most of the time when you write but you could be good if you put your mind to it.
Whitlock was a good writer, but he seems to have had the style that you picked up on. He wrote some non-football articles that were absolutely great, but his penchant was to demean the Chiefs at every turn.
If you are a fan you don't hide the facts but you also do not try to tear down the team because you didn't see what you expected. the 31-0 game just showed that they were not prepared for the game and the loss of Cassel had more to do with the outcome than anything else. With Cassel at QB the game would have been a tossup in my opinion, could have gone either way.
