Chiefs Mirroring the Patriots Dynasty?
I admit to making the title clickbait. Sue me.
What I find interesting is the number of writers arguing that the AFC West is, top to bottom, the worst or second worst division in football despite the Chiefs' presence. Hard to really disagree considering we have Denver, Vegas, and LA Chargers in the division. For years, people derided New England in part because the rest of the division was so bad. That gave NE a pretty solid 5-6 wins each year and winning the division guarantees a playoff spot. I figure as long as Mark Davis is the owners, the Raiders are going to Raider but Nix's debut was promising and Harbaugh and Herbert could make the Chargers relevant but those teams won't turn it around this year. So for now, the best team in football in (one of the) the weakest division just helps perpetuate the dynasty. A smattering of division rankings: AFC West the weakest: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nf...ad-2024-season AFC West 2nd Weakest: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/r...ivisions-2024/ They argue NFC South is weakest but then state there are 2 teams that should compete for a playoff spot. AFC West really only has 1 team with a legitimate pre-season chance of going to playoffs, so I don't know if I agree with this Another AFC West 2nd Weakest: https://www.givemesport.com/ranking-...st-to-weakest/ Again, NFC South is chosen as weakest AFC West worst division: https://brobible.com/slideshows/arti...24-nfl-season/ Just enjoy that these are the best days to be a KC fan. We have the best QB/Coach/GM/owner team in the league. year after year we put an excellent team on the field. And we do so at a time when the Raiders, Broncos, and Chargers all suck. This won't last forever but we can certainly enjoy it now. |

The Patriots win percentage outside of their division was basically just as good. |

I hope this means we don't have to wait a decade for another Super Bowl.

Yeah, Deflategate was mostly bullshit but Spygate appeared to be some real shit. I’m glad we don’t have any scandals tied to our dynasty. Makes what we’ve done more impressive. |
