Couldn't have written it better. So I let you. Change of career helps too.
Said it before:
This year feels a helluva lot like Marty's first. They finished 8-7-1 and out of the playoffs in '89, but they were competitive week-in and week-out, and you
knew they were going to get better. The same can be said of Haley's bunch
this year.
Yes, the Chiefs have many glaring holes talent-wise and are easily still a year-or-two away from any serious playoff consideration, but with the Rest-of-the-West collectively pissing down its leg this season, why not this year? A victory over Jacksonville will give the Chiefs three AFC wins and at least a one game lead in the Division, with a favorable schedule lying ahead. And speaking of the Jags...
No, ChiefFan DOES NOT look at this game as a "gimme". Jacksonville traditionally always deals the Chiefs fits, regardless of record. They are big, tough, physical, and match up well with Kansas City. And at 3-2 going into tonight's game with Tennessee, the Jags also happen to be pretty good this year too. The intangible is that we get them at home after they've had a short week to prepare. That's it. The rest should be nothing short of all out war. But with the way that Haley has his kids playing this year, I like our chances. Regardless, it should be a really good game to watch.
