Good for you, you have no input but to discect other peoples for mistakes.
And I think most everyone will agree with the fact that there is indeed somthing wrong with a team that hasn't won a "playoff game in over a decade."
Keep in mind, fans come here to bitch and blowoff steam. It may not be Dr. Spock like in that's in fact, logic and emotionless like your contribution, it's thereputic however and well deserved for any fan that's been around to share in the dissapointments.

Yeah, we've been down this road before all right. I have opinions on the what the Chiefs should do this offseason but I'm not sure that there's neccessarily something wrong with the team in the sense your speaking of.
There is something wrong with the defense. Not enough talent, first year in a new scheme for most players, injuries, etc, all contributed to the past season's disappointment. The offense didn't play up to par in some areas like turnovers and red zone performance. I think we have a depth problem similar to most teams in the NFL.
For the defense we need secondary help, we need LB help, we need a monster in the middle on the line, and we need to figure out how to recover some of those fumbles. For the offense I'd like to have a QB to replace Green eventually, we need a superstar WR, offensive line depth particularly at left tackle is a question, and we definitly need to hold onto the ball better.
For special teams, we need to get Dante going again though I think Dante's best years might be behind him. I hope I'm dead wrong about that.
IMO, it'd be nice to address all of that this offseason but the reality is that we won't be able to. I'm hoping we can pick up a few guys in free agency and in the draft that can help on defense immediately. I'm not confident that will happen, in fact I think it won't. We might get one or two guys via free agency who'll help but I don't count on the draft for anything immediately.
The scouting staff hasn't done the best job at finding talent in the draft which is troublesome. Maybe some scouts should be replaced or do a better job, I don't know.
Those are some of my opinions on the offseason situation but they are just that, opinions. They're not groundbreaking. They're not likely to have any effect on what the Chiefs do this offseason. I will tell you this though, whatever they do or don't do, it won't ruin even one minute of my life. I don't harbor any illusions that I could do better than them nor do I believe I have even the slightest bit of control over it.
Just my opinions.
