We played 11/16 games this year against teams with winning records; we won 9 games and that includes two TERRIBLE losses to a 2 win team (who we drew week 1 which turned out to be very unlucky) and the fuggin' 3 win Raiders.
If we won 12 games next year, who'd be surprised?
I certainly won't be.
We need to focus on figuring out how to split with Denver, though.

I know it's CP but I think some people are a little hard on Dorsey. I have major issues with part of what Reid does during game day, but he also has a lot of strengths. We are in a rebuild and still putting out a decent product.
The QB is always the major issue, and should be, but unless you look at a Bridgewater the Chiefs really never passed up a QB since the two have been here. In fact, they added two young guys. Bray and Murray may not be electric stocks, but what electric stock have they passed up. It's the contract to Smith that is the real issue if there is one. Even with the contract, I think the FO sees Smith as a placeholder. Perhaps I am just being hopeful about that, but it's what I think.
KC exceeded my expectations this year in how they played, and that's after a number of losses to personnel I wasn't even thinking about. It's easy to judge them from how they fell after their high-water mark against Seattle, but some perspective is needed.
There is work to do, and with all that needed to be fixed, I don't think it's crazy that the F.O. needs another offseason to fix a few positions like OL and WR. The horrible truth is, that as much as KC is to blame for the QB position, it's also been a matter of terrible timing. None worse than missing on Luck and getting the junk options in the top of the 2013 draft. Even looking back now it's hard to know who to take out of that top 10. I believe they have men that are willing to get a QB, even with Smith. We just need one to be there for them. I wouldn't be shocked to see them draft a Hundley or someone like him in the draft.
