The one thing we can look forward to: the league's best OL.
Last year, PFF gave the Chiefs the 12th best line.
That's even with Albert missing games, Ryan Lilja playing center, Jeff Allen playing poorly, and Stephenson having to play left tackle for five games.
12th best line.
Now, the Chiefs are better. If you're a fan of the trenches, and I know most of us on this site are not, but I unapologetically am:
Albert's healthy. Hudson's back. Allen's getting competition from Geoff Schwartz, and we're replacing Winston with Eric ****ing Fisher.
LT: Albert
LG: Allen/Schwartz

Here are last year's top 5 OLs:
1st: 49ers
LT: Joe Staley
LG: Mike Iupati

2nd: Patriots
LT: Nate Solder

I think we can make a run at this group in 2013.
