This years team has a lot of unproven talent on it that can be vital to the failure or success and if Alex Smith can hold up his end of the bargain, we may have something.
It sure would be nice to enjoy the games again.

Again, I think the Chiefs have the finest coaching staff since the 1993 Chiefs.
Marty was a great regular season head coach and brought many wins to KC. In retrospect, Gunther Cunningham was a much better head coach than he was given credit for by me (and practically everyone else, save for KCJohnny) at the time. Vermeil's staff was very good offensively and very poor defensively.
Everyone knew that there was a dropoff between Vermeil and Herm. But what most people didn't expect (myself not included because I did expect it) was that there was a dropoff between Todd Haley and Herm. And even worse was the dropoff between Haley and Crennel!
This team's fan base hasn't seen competent offensive and defensive coaching staffs (let alone, head coaching) since really 1997. And because of that, the fans have forgotten how important a great coaching staff is to the overall equation.
It's just sickening that this team won two games while sending six guys to the Pro Bowl. Say what you will about the Pro Bowl but it is the best indicator of individual talent available to the masses.
