Anywho, there's nothing in this article or this thread that hasn't been said here a thousand times in the last month. The offense is struggling, and the offense will be the team's downfall if they don't come together. 3-0 is great, and it's really satisfying to see a team in Kansas City that finds ways to win, rather than ways to lose.
Pair that kind of team psychology with a top defense, and an offense that's even just adequate - middle-of-the-pack, run of the mill, not bottom-of-the-barrel like now - and this is a team that can be a contender to not just compete for a wild card or even the division, but can actually win playoff games.
And that's why we "negative" people are so passionate about the offense improving. Because we can see that. We believe that the offense can be more than it is, even with a limited centerpiece like Alex Smith.
They should be more than they are. And we want them to be. Because we're fans.

Great post, Keg.
To the bolded point - I mentioned something similar earlier. This team has a chance to be special, but only if the offense gets it shit's together.
Right now, the defense is allowing 11 PPG.
The defense and kicking game ALONE are scoring 10 PPG.
They are getting away with it, but it's not going to happen forever.
