Why do you think Denver's window is any shorter than ours? Some of their best players are as young or younger than ours - Decker, Thomas and Miller being chief among them.
You're referring to Manning, obviously, but Manning probably has 2-3 more good years left before they have to deal with the QB position. Bailey's also probably only looking at another good year or two. But really folks - Hali's closer to that same place in his career than you want to believe.
The difference between the Chiefs and Broncos windows is not the duration of them, but just how wide open they are. The Chiefs will have to do
everything right and catch a few breaks to win a SB (or even an AFC championship) with Alex Smith at the helm. The Broncos don't have nearly that thin a margin for error.
The Chiefs window is 2-3 seasons....so is the Broncos. You only think theirs is a 'win now' desperation window because they have much higher to fall from than we do. The Chiefs window, when it closes, will close the door on an era of 10 win seasons and hoping for nice bounces in the post-season. The Broncos, OTOH, will fall from 13 wins, bye weeks and prohibitive favorite status.
The Broncos are no more in 'win now' mode than we are - they're just better at it.
