Chiefs got better times ahead in the next 3 seasons???

In their three seasons under coach Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs haven’t won a division title, but they’ve been an annual playoff contender, reaching the postseason twice as a wild-card entrant. They haven’t been able to advance in the postseason beyond the divisional round.

This interesting post suggests that for the foreseeable future, the next three seasons, the Chiefs are headed for more of the same.

ESPN ranked the prospects for each of the NFL’s 32 teams over the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons based on several factors, including the quality of the overall roster, quarterback, coaching, the draft, and the front office. The Chiefs are a respectable 11th, their strength according to this ranking being Reid’s coaching ability.

Eleventh doesn’t sound bad, but it doesn’t represent an improvement over what the Chiefs have been over the past three seasons. In the future rankings, the Chiefs are second in the AFC West behind the No. 9 Denver Broncos and sixth overall in the AFC.

That should sound familiar. The Chiefs have finished second to the Broncos in their division in each of Reid’s three seasons. They’ve been the fifth seed in the playoffs in each of their two postseason appearances.

Those Chiefs fans with long memories may not think of this pattern as being stuck in a rut. The Chiefs, after all, won no more than four games in four of the six seasons previous to Reid’s arrival, so these are prosperous times for Kansas City’s NFL team, relatively speaking.

Ultimately, though, they haven’t been fulfilling. And if the Chiefs follow up in the next three seasons with more of the same, even the most patient of their fans might come to think Kansas City was definitely stuck in a rut with Andy Reid as the head coach.

A pessimistic article from Teicher that says absolutely nothing of substance?

No way!!!!

IMO we should win the division this year and win at least another playoff game, maybe even two.

So basically it's the 90's all over again? Great, let me break out the Zubaz pants.

Well, if it plays out like that over the next 3 years he's not wrong about it being a lukewarm tenure

Of course it will, but what reason is he basing this on?

Some reeruned subjective rankings "for the next 3 years"?

There was no sense of optimism in that article, just like every other one he writes. Not even a mention of getting over the hump of winning a playoff game when it seemed appropriate. If you're going to be negative at least back it up with something of substance.

He's basing it on the rankings. Based on these projected rankings, if it plays out the way they're projecting.

One could also make the case that he's basing it one Reid's history here.

Personally, based on the last decade, another run of the 90s isn't a bad thing. Losing and being horrifically bad sucks.

Then that makes it even more ****ing reeruned.

In two out of the last three seasons, the Chiefs have gone on a 9-0 run (11-0 last year).

The 2016 team, on paper, is by far the most talented team the Chiefs have fielded during Reid's tenure, so what makes anyone believe that the Chiefs will fare even worse?

And in said seasons, still have failed to win the division and have 1 playoff win to show for it.
