Josh McDaniels: All we're trying to do is win a motherfucking game!

And we do not have a small front 7. Ryan McBean is 290 pounds, Kenny Peterson is 300 pounds, and our NT is 315 pounds. All of our LB's are over 250 pounds. That sounds like a normal 3-4 defense to me....

Denver is not a bad football team. We can run the ball, we can pass the ball, we can stop the run, and we have a good passrush. We are a complete football team.

Your front 7 is small. I don't care what they list at on the roster. When they line up I can see they are a smallish group.

You cannot pass the ball worth a spit. And believe it or not, YPC becomes far more important as the playoffs get closer. With Orton being a medium and short zone guy only, playoff teams will do what Baltimore did. Eat up the short zones and stop the run. Dare Orton to throw deep, which he won't/can't. And you'll be one and done even if you make it that far.

Last I checked making the playoffs was preferable to not making the playoffs. If and when the Chiefs do get into the postseason again, I doubt you'll be singing the same tune.

Even as a Chiefs fan it was actually more preferable that the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs in Herm's first season. It delayed the house cleaning and hurt this franchise in the long run. So no, that's not always the case. Second, being some teams doormat for the playoffs doesn't exactly set the tone for offseason confidence. It tends to linger for a while. Don't think so? Ask super bowl losers, who most certainly have SB hangovers (this years Card team is a rare exception thus far).

Basically your team will still end up being average. And as long as Orton is behind center and Coach Corky is on the sidelines, that's how it will stay.
