I'm reserving judgment until I see how they follow up the 30 point arena football game we played yesterday.

If the offense looks halfway consistent, I'll say that they looking better than I expected.

How well did the sports illustrated cover work out, as well as Jaworski's "KC Chiefs Superbowl Binder".

What scares me is the Patriots and Colts, they look unbeatable at times.

It's strange how we were the blueprint to the SB for two years with Jaws, yet some people will always think the media hates us.

That was Jaws good ole boying with Vermeil.

Jacksonville is another tough match-up for us...

If we win that game, we're for real, plain and simple.

I agree with Hootie. But I can understand how the national media think that the Chief's were going to be bad. Their bad showing in the playoffs, QB controversy in spades, LJ late into camp, a whole new Offensive line, trouble at DT position and last years history of seeing the team as a run team only.

All those questions were addressed. They were untried at the beginning of the season. Four bad showings on offense and only flashes on defense during preseason gave no information as to how things might gel.

You want this to build slowly and diligently. And yes a road victory in the Division IS big. I see improvement in the run game as I am seeing more runs not between Guard and Center but between Tackles and Guard. I like the trend and with Kennison returning to the line up suddenly you have two very good WR and the best TE in the passing game.

What a win will do for a team... a couple of weeks ago there was a list a mile wide, and now we're asking 'what is their weakness?'

The biggest jump in the power rankings last week was Jacksonville from 17 to 10, which is questionable enough. Wouldn't everyone here be all 'WTF, lol?" if the Eagles had jumped into the top 10 because they blew out Detroit?

The Chiefs moved up a few spots for beating Minnesota, and we'll probably move up 6 or 7 spots for beating the Chargers, which would put them around 20. If we're 4-2 going into the bye, I think we will be deserving of some respect... but until then, we're where we should be.. bunched in with the large group of questionable teams.

And BTW, making the playoffs isn't really an accomplishment anymore.. I heard someone yesterday saying he wouldn't be surprised if a 7-9 team made it in this year, and I wouldn't be, either.

The NFC south will probably be won with 7-8 wins.

That division is abysmal.

The Bucs are for real...Garcia is really an underrated QB and Gruden is a good coach...

But yeah, MAYBE that division will see an 8-8 champ...but I think (as long as Delhomme gets healthy) either the Panthers or Bucs will win 9 or 10 games by default.

Plus, the Falcons aren't as bad as they looked the first few weeks...

Now the Saints, I don't know what to think about that team...

That's a shocker to me...

The Bucs just lost their FA LT and #1 RB for the year.

I don't think it's happened. The closest is the Browns in '85 won their division at 8-8.

It doesn't matter if it's happened before; the point is that every year there is a mediocre team or two that makes the playoffs... and if it's at 9-7, 8-8, or 7-9, there's no use saying "hey, we were a playoff team last year!" unless you prove you deserve to be there.

Any 4-12 team from last year could go to the playoffs and lose in the first round, and then go back to sucking the next year. Until the Chiefs can say they've won a playoff game in the last decade, they don't deserve the respect some of you are demanding.

Don't get your panties all bunched up. Last I checked sports reporters had no say in who wins, and winning is what matters. Let them under rate us, it's only an added advantage.
