We went 10-6 last year, and missed the playoffs. 10-6 gets you in almost EVERY SINGLE year. Was that his fault too? The team that took our spot went to the super bowl. We've had three 13-3 seasons under Peterson. Like I've said before...how is it a GM's fault if your team goes 13-3 and happens to lose in the playoffs? A GM's job is to put your team in a position to make the playoffs year in and year out. Carl Peterson has done that.. I know you all need a scapegoat, and with all the media channels telling you how to think it's easy for everybody to quickly point fingers at Carl. I think you fail to recall how Carl helped build this franchise from a doormat into a great organization that wins alot of games. Carl has got this team to the playoffs about half the time since he has became GM. To ask to go to the playoffs more than this for any team is almost impossible in the long term.

Dating back to ‘77, teams whose personnel operations have been overseen by Peterson own a combined regular season record of 249-153-2 (.619). During that 25-season span, his teams have produced 19 winning records and have made the playoffs 15 times. During Peterson’s tenure, Kansas City has finished first or second in the AFC West 12 times, made eight playoff appearances, won four AFC West titles and reached the only AFC Championship Game in team history. Those are dramatic numbers when you consider that in the 17 seasons prior to Peterson’s arrival, the Chiefs made just one playoff appearance and enjoyed just four winning years.
