The Chiefs disappoint fans, your pissed and need to vent. We are all passionate Chief fans on here or we wouldn't have been here for a decade or more. I get all the front page venom. I have no memory in my life where I'm not a Chief fan. I've been disappointed hundreds of times. This is just another one.
Reid is frustrating. But, his #1 job was to take this raw recruit gunslinger and mold him into a NFL QB. MVP his first year starting. Check. Thats more important to our long term success that anything else we are talking about. If all NFL coaches became free agents immediately, Reid would go second even with his late game management issues.
We have improved the passing part of the defense. Thats good enough to get us a Super Bowl. We are still horrible at run defense. Cook with the Vikings is a top RB in the league. We did a good job keeping him in check. We can only hope that the run defense gets some consistently figured out. If they do, we are playing in a Super Bowl this year.

Disagree that we are horrible at run defense. Pennel would have been a huge boost yesterday. And inexplicably Ragland barely played.
The pieces are there to stop the run. They did it masterfully last week vs a better rushing attack.
