Basically he's saying, if the next 3 years go like the last 3, it would be kind of a meh tenure. Or atleast thats what I took it as.

as opposed to the previous 20 years or so?

I'LL TAKE IT.

It's also safe to say that the Broncos were ahead of the Chiefs when Reid and Dorsey took over and have been to two Super Bowls during that time period.

The fact that the Chiefs were able to go from 2-14 to 11-5, 9-7, 11-5 and a playoff win is pretty damn impressive.

Chiefs have gotten better and better every year during this regime.

An AFCW division winner+1 playoff win is the floor for this season.

I love how everybody went from acting like winning a playoff game was a near impossible task, and something we needed to finally do to truly get over the hump, but now that we've done it, it all of a sudden means absolutely nothing.

I get that it's championship or bust now, but it's pretty spoiled of you to act as though that wasn't a huge step forward in the right direction. Not to mention the way this team battled in NE despite all the injuries. Any other recent Chiefs team would've been completely embarrassed in that game with those conditions, but we faught and somehow had a legitimate shot at winning it.

Absolutely.

I don't remember alot of that being said, but they're right on the track they need to be.

But as his stating here, if the next 3 years look like the last 3 have, it'll be a failure

And point me to where I'm acting as if that wasn't a step in the right direction?

If any thing we are ascending....We beat Denver at Denver ....should have beat them at home.... then.....won a road playoff game... Without a proven QB Denver is second place team to me...

The way you talk about "the last 3", certainly sounds like that. By "last 3", you clearly don't mean continuing to ascend, which is exactly what we've done.

If the next 3 years are a carbon copy of the last 3, would you say it's been a successful tenure?

6 years with 2 playoff wins and 0 division titles would be a blah time.

I'm just going to assume you mean finishing our season with a loss, and if that's the case I agree.

Why Teicher fails to acknowledge the steps we've taken is my initial point though. He's pretending like none of that has happened, and there's no reason to be optimistic.

A good beat writer would at least give that side of the argument.

Stopped reading at behind Denver

I just flat out can't stand Teicher. I don't know how many of you saw it, but at the beginning of the offseason he was questioning Dorsey and basically said "So, you've had some pretty good offseasons since you've been here, but everything is lining up for you to fail this time." (Howard and Smith leaving, losing our 3rd).

What does Dorsey go on to do? Have another really good offseason by getting Howard back on a great deal and picking up Schwartz with some of the money he saved by not signing Smith (on another great deal). Then he makes the moves in the draft to get back the value he lost with the tampering charges while adding a really nice chunk of talent to the roster.

And here Teicher is still waiting for everything to collapse with his doom and gloom bullshit. He's a ****ing joke and clearly has a negative bias in the mold of Clay.

I have a litany of valid reasons why this team could win it all in the next three seasons... why hasnt Teicher moved on to another beat all of these years later, does no one else want him?
