Sure, you hope the team can get there every year and of course, Patrick makes that chance exponentially higher but there were some pretty serious question marks about KC's pass rush and especially the secondary going into this year. To say "I knew it all along" is absolutely silly.
Playing Buffalo close in Week 6 put the seed in my head that maybe this team was better than I thought it would be.
Playing Cincinnati close, and really the Chiefs should have won it, in Week 13
sold me that this team at least had the potential to get to the Super Bowl.

It was absolute honesty. I always considered this a reloading year. We drafted pretty solid floor guys, but also guys who may have taken some adjustment time. Watson and Pacheco came alive fast, cook and chenal worked in then Williams and Moore showed up last week when it really mattered. We had not put complete games back to back all year until the playoffs. If we had drawn anyone but the Jags I would have had doubts getting out of the divisional round.
Also as many know I’ve been a massive Mahomes homer even before drafting him. I’m aware that with him our windows always open. Mid season I would have told you we would only make the Super Bowl if he gave us a series of over my dead body games. The last two weeks have been a pleasant surprise. We’ve got a tall task ahead that I’m a little pessimistic about.
