7 wins in 3 seasons - buoyed by a 10-win season against the easiest schedule in 10 years. (99 Rams)

No one in the national media is going to give them a second glance until they prove they can win on Sundays.

I'd put us ahead of about half the teams in the league right now.

I can't help but feel like you have this overwhelming double standard with the Chiefs.

If the Raiders walked out of the draft fortified in the trenches, and we walked out of the draft with 3 draft picks, one of which was on a guard, you'd rightfully downgrade us to the league's cellar.

But in a season where we're playoff bound over them if we don't start Palko without our best players on both sides of the ball, and the Raiders walked away with absolutely nothing in the draft, you're still willing to give them a thumbs up.
