KC will have to continue to improve and win the entire season (and next) before most of the NFL buys into them. That's the way it works when you've been as crappy as this team has been for a while.

Enh, possibly. KC has been down for a while, but the NFL loves Reid and they like feel good stories. The NFL world isn't out to just hate on KC for the sake of hating. I think many want to see a solid performance from both sides in a quality win before they jump on the bandwagon though. I don't expect much from Dallas, but I did think they had a great shot of winning yesterday.
It proved how good the defense is going to be this year and really how fragmented Dallas is going to be in my opinion. That team will win nothing with Romo - he's Jake Plummer without the personality and somewhat prettier stats. I liked Plummer and loathed the bad decision making, but you knew he wanted to win and was a team player in my mind. Romo ... the jury is out, but he really likes being the Cowboys' QB.
