So you're telling me the best case scenario is a first round playoff exit..
What's more than likely is they might win a game or two and miss the playoffs on tiebreakers. Worst case scenario is the Chiefs lose out and go 7-9 and JC gets hurt in one of those meaningless four games and his status next season is in doubt.
With his contract and his age it makes no sense to try and make a "win one for the gipper" charge this season and try and put the team in the best position to try and win next year.

You're a ****ING reerun!
There isn't a good thing that happens around this team that you won't attribute to dumb luck, nor a bad thing that happens that you won't overinflate into some immutable fatal flaw.
Knee jerk pessimism isn't a strategy, or in any way a sign of intelligence.
I'd compare you to Eeyore, but even he's drawn too cute for your brand of mopey stupidity.
