I think the Chiefs were competitive against Dallas and could've won that game easily. Same for Oakland, who they trounced except on the scoreboard. They could easily be 2-3 right now, in which case everyone would be psyched that they already equaled their '07 win total. It's just bad luck that they're 0-5. Like my Patriots, for example; yeah, without a lucky fumble in week one against Buffalo, they could be 2-3 and have everyone proclaiming their doom and calling for heads; but with only one more play agaisnt Denver, they could also be 4-1, and have three consecutive wins against formerly-undefeated opponents, and have everyone sucking their schlong and labeling them Super Bowl favorites.
It's too easy to look at the Ws and Ls. Denver is 5-0 and thus must be an unstoppable powerhouse; the Chiefs are 0-5 and thus must suck donkey balls. It's not that simple. When a team is building itself up, you have to look at the big picture. As long as you think the Chiefs are heading in the proper direction, thare's really nothing you can do to feel better, 'cause unless it's a W it feels sucky... even though you know, right now, the W or L doesn't matter.
