And it limits what a defense can do to stop you.

It just takes time for the line to gel.
I caught the first Denver game last year and it was laughable. I remember thinking to myself "We weren't in the running but, I'm glad we didn't get Manning." They got better every week and here they are. Saw that with Alex and the Niners in 2011 and seeing it now with the 2013 Chiefs.
I don't know that outcomes have been what we've always wanted but I think we've seen progress week to week and that's what give me faith in both Alex and Reid. I'd be clamoring for their heads too if we were just stuck in a rut with no means of getting bettter but clearly that is not the case with this team.
