So...Did the game pass them by while they were away?

They're not facing myriad problems, they're facing a few, evident, problems.

Both Peyton Manning's and Troy Aikman's rookie seasons were a mess by your standards, but not by the standards of those in the know.

I agree with Baby Lee, the Redskins could be a contender with 1 maybe 2 players. The Chiefs are so fouled up they need a minimum of 4 or 5 and that is if none of the good ones retire (unlikely IMO). This team is ready for a total collapse next year if three people retire who are definitely possible. Roaf, Shields, and Richardson. Not to mention the possibility Priest could retire.
