Father Time has ravaged what was once “the best OL in the NFL.” Saunders’ Offense simply does not work without a stout OL. And, unfortunately, I do not see our OL returning to “stout” status any time soon. Roaf & Shields are probably gone next season, so it will be a rebuild on the OL, with all the confusion, growing pains and QB damage that situation creates. The Chiefs Offense is past its peak and is well into its decline.

Although it is improving, the Chiefs Defense is not capable of compensating for the wretched Offense.

The playoffs are possible, but not without a suddenly rejuvenated Offense. And that will not happen without a suddenly rejuvenated Offensive Line. And that will not happen.

I fear that the “window of opportunity” was closed by the injuries to Roaf & Shields.

I will remain hopeful [because hope does not require a reasoned, logical foundation] until we are mathematically eliminated, but I just cannot see us in the playoffs with this OL this season.

Clinging to hope, but facing cold, hard reality.

Wretched offense? Sure, they were wretched against Buffalo, but other than that one outlier? Look at the season stats. And when Sampson/Roaf take over for Black....
