Do you have FAITH in the Chiefs?
This season's theme song: To be provided by George Michael I was tumbling through my Twitter feed this morning (How very ChiefsandOsFan of me!) and found this article from Fox Sports about season two of the Dorsey/Reid regime. My thoughts: It sums this season up pretty accurately. Awful lot of faith being asked for at this point. It's a hard thing for me to have as a fan due to: 1) The franchise's history when asking fans to have FAITH; 2) The lack of track record in KC for Reid, and the lack of track record for Dorsey as his own man, period. It's preseason. The Chiefs seem to be running so much on HOPE and FAITH, Barrack Obama's 2008 campaign team would have a good case for plagiarism. So let's start with this: What area that requires FAITH do you feel most confident will end up where the team needs it to end up? For me, I probably would go with Marcus Cooper improving and Sean Smith getting his sh*t together. |

I have faith that Andy Reid will field a competetive team this season.

9 or 10 wins.. but the OL will have to be remotely tolerable. If they are playing top 15-like? then we could be talking more wins. Bottom 5-like? and ugh.. lucky to break even.
I don't suffer from PTSD as many Chiefs fans... ... so yeah.. some faith.

You are certainly more sure of the OL than I am. Whoever starts at RG will be a downgrade IMO over last year...at least in the first half of the year. Fisher really needs to be consistent at LT, or KC is in trouble. I believe Junior will give KC something they missed in the slot last year....size and hands. He is good in the red zone and I believe in his targets last year, Junior didn't drop a ball. KC will need AJ or Kyle Williams to step up as well as Kelce to take the O to the next level. As far as the D goes....the CBs will need to play with more intelligence than last season. Flowers, Lewis, Demps, Robinson, Berry, Smith and Cooper all had moments of complete idiocy last season. You are going to get beat. The NFL has made sure of that. Just be where you are supposed to be. Hopefully our new players in the secondary can simply do that. |

I keep up with news of the team, but the playoff loss sucked my soul dry.
I have zero faith and zero expectations. If they win, great. If they lose, so what. |

8-9 wins
Personnel isn't the only thing. It's a big piece of the pie but there are several other key pieces. Who did we really lose anyway? I think we have guys who can match last year's production in the positions we lost. I don't even think it will be a challenge. The only player we cannot lose is Poe. We have no back up for Poe and he can't be replaced. I wish we would sign Ryan Pickett to a one year deal. Consistency - this is the first time we've had the same offensive coordinator, head coach, and quarterback in consecutive years in a very long time. Chemistry - Last year's team had the best chemistry I've seen since 2003. Those guys believed. They will build on that chemistry. Experience - Losing the playoff game the way we did could be a good thing in the long run. Last year we were the youngest team in the league and we will learn from it. |

Nope, but Andy Reid is one hell of a coach though only thing I can think of that gives us some hope this year.
