But on the flip side of that, surely you can understand why the national media, and even fans of the team aren't exactly sure how good they are just yet.
They've let two bad teams hang around until the 4th quarter, and almost let a backup QB beat them.
And speaking of backup QB's, this is shaping up to look a lot like 2010, when we kept facing backup QB's. Looks like we're going to get a backup 5 weeks in a row. Yes, we're taking advantage of it, but it doesn't give a clear picture of what to expect when we actually play a team with a real offense.

Valid points on the back-up QB's argument, and I can see that point. The other side of the argument between 2010 and 2013 was that the 2010 defense was nowhere near good compared to 2013. Surely we can agree that 2013 defense is worlds better than 2010?
It's also not KC fault that the other team has to play with back-up QB, as that's just the way it goes in the NFL these days, either by injury or ineffectiveness. Last year, our back-up QB (as well as the starter) was terrible, and 14 teams benefited from it.
Gabbert/Henne (Henne only played a small fraction in the 4th quarter)
Romo.
Vick.
E. Manning.
Fitzgerald.
Pryor.
Out of the 6 teams we played, only Fitzgerald was the only back-up QB, and he was a starter in Buffalo, so it's not like he is Brady Quinn by any means.
