this team is massively better. the players arent really any better on paper, actually they're worse but they are getting it done. The secondary is MUCH better. teams already know kcs weakness from the second half of last season yet here we are, the chiefs secondary has given up the least amount of receving yards in the entire nfl despite playing manning, rivers, brady, and kaep.
Our offense was historically bad for the first 9 games last season. we BARELY won games last season against a lot of 2nd rate qbs, despite winning the turnover battle by A LOT, and scoring a special teams touch down in what seemed like nearly every game, or atleast starting at the 50. the offense was flat out awful last season, despite having a much better o line. The chiefs this season, have been competitive despite not winning the turn overs, and not getting any contributions from ST's, while playing first rate QBs. If we can start forcing a few turnovers, and/or can start getting contributions from ST's we could beat any team in the nfl as badly as we beat the patriots. those are big ifs, although i do expect it to happen atleast another time or two this season.
Sutton has been much better this season, i think last season he pretty much blitzed 5-7 guys EVERY 3rd down. and he refused to bench guys who were playing awful, like cooper in the second half, kendrick, dunta, demps at times, etc.
