Some of you....a few perhaps....may remember back last summer when a few of us lost souls posted a less than optimistic assessment of the Chiefs defense. This is not an I told you so post. The truth is that it takes time for a new defense to come together. These guys have not played defense together before last month. There are a number of wholesale working parts that have not meshed. Will they by mid season? I don't know. But quit being stupid. You can dream all the pipe dreams you want but for an eleven man defense to solidify is not something that happens overnight. This may not be the Chiefs year regardless of the rose colored glasses. But please...….be realistic. This team is still a work in progress and there will be bumps along the road. Disappointed? Of course we are. But we still lead the division and the AFC is so screwed up right now that no body (but New England) is in a dominant position.
