media types are hedging their bets
1. 2-win teams generally have a easier time of making a 5-win improvement than a 8-win team
2. Chiefs underachieved last year and have talent, so people assume they will be better with better coaching anyway.
Next year when we go 8-8ish the media will pat themselves on the back about their correct praise of the Chiefs offseason moves even though the Chiefs should of gone 8-8 last year.
