Right. They don't have a QB or receivers or a tight end or an offensive line or a defensive line and linebackers.

Ed Reed has been a non-factor and Ray Lewis is done. Losing both will not affect their fortunes, especially as long as they have Flacco, Ray Rice, Torrey Smith, etc. and so on.
Dannell Ellerbe is their best linebacker today.

I said they'd contend for a playoff spot as long as Luck is healthy. That team had a massive influx of young players and they should only improved. Having Luck at the helm nearly guarantees they'll compete year in and year out for a playoff spot.

People say that every year and yet they still compete. I'm not buying it until they completely collapse, something that hasn't happened, well, ever.

Like who? Hali and Johnson are aging. Justin Houston may be able to pick up Hali's slack but the Chiefs don't have an ILB next to Johnson, nor do they have a CB opposite Flowers nor do they have a safety opposite Berry.
Until those pieces are in place, the defense will be suspect. Oh, and the defensive line is atrocious, although Poe does show promise.
On the offensive side of the ball, a hangnail puts Moeaki on the questionable list, Albert's back is an issue, Jeff Allen was crap, Rod Hudson broke his leg and missed the majority of the season, Eric Winston can't pass block worth a damn and the Chiefs don't have a starting QB.
I just don't know what you're seeing. They were 2-14 in 2012 and there's no Andrew Luck available to save the day.
