It's doomed by the fact that although we finally have our QB, the team has let the defense deteriorate to the point where it's not a credible NFL unit. It may set the all time record for yards allowed in a season. The defense is HISTORICALLY bad.
People seem to be moving through the grieving process about this year.
People at first were claiming the defense wasn't really that bad (denial). Then they were calling for Sutton's head and blaming it all on him (anger). Then they were claiming that Berry would be back and everything would be fine, or that it's really just that the refs are part of a massive conspiracy to keep the Chiefs down (bargaining).
Acceptance is when you realize that the personnel on defense is too bad for any shuffling of the deck chairs to really matter, and that you can't win in January with a defense like this, and we should just watch Mahomes and enjoy the promise of the future.
(While hoping Reid and Veach can build a new defense, starting from rock bottom, over the next couple of offseasons... which based on this year's draft, doesn't look promising)
