I'm not going to say "no playoff wins = shit" because frankly, the NFL has more lucky bounces and fluke plays that determine seasons than any other sport out there. Marty Schottenhiemers entire time in KC is viewed differently if not for a phantom offensive PI call and a missed kick. That's it. And those 2 events have also made Chiefs fans largely insane.
Sure, winning a SB is the ultimate goal and duh - doing so makes the Reid era a success. But if the Chiefs are steadily in a position to compete for one, actually compete for one (not that 2010 smoke and mirrors shit), I don't see how you can't call this a successful era.
Reid took over a shitty franchise, fellas. It's time to realize that and accept it. This team is a joke in NFL circles. While we're circling games against the Jags and Cardinals as must-wins, everyone else is circling KC. There is one big !@#$ing hill for Andy Reid to climb and it's time we have reasonable expectations of when we'll be willing to give him credit for doing a fine job of it.

I agree with this, but most of the rest of the board certainly does not.
Guys want to have it both ways - "this team is the most talented in the division, 3rd most talented in AFC" etc. - yet people are saying that a SINGLE playoff win in the 5-10 years he'll likely be here is "success"?
I don't give a **** what happened in the past, because it can't be changed.
But they've made "win-now" moves, so I expect them to win right ****ing now. Playoffs in 2013. A win or two in 2014. And at least a SB appearance or win by the time Andy leaves KC.
The rest of you (not you, DJ) can talk out of both sides of your mouth and enjoy mediocrity, I'm going to demand better.
