I did NOT write this, but found and wanted to share:
These aren't your Carl Peterson/Scott Pioli Chiefs.
Every week I've seen some sort of historical trend thrown out as a reason to why the Chiefs are going to lose.
JAX: Chiefs are 4-14 in the hot state of Florida. 1-4 in Jacksonville.
DAL: Chiefs haven't beaten the Cowboys since 1998.
PHI: Chiefs haven't beaten the Eagles since 1998. Eagles have never scored less than 17 points against KC.
NYG: Chiefs are 2-10 all time versus the Giants. Chiefs have never beat Eli Manning. Haven't beaten NY since 1995.
TEN: Ryan Fitzpatrick is 4-1 against the Chiefs.
OAK: Raiders have won the last 6 meetings in Arrowhead.
HOU: Texans have never lost at Arrowhead. Chiefs have a history of making backup QBs look like super stars.
CLE: The one week people actually didn't have reservations about. Most expected the Chiefs to roll the Browns, even though Jason Campbell has beaten the Chiefs in Arrowhead before.
BUF: Chiefs haven't won in Ralph Wilson Stadium since 1986.
It's time to throw out those history books and realize this isn't the same Kansas City Chiefs organization from the last 30 years. The 2013 Chiefs are in uncharted territory and creating history. All those years in Philly, Andy Reid has never gone 9-0. The longest he ever remained unbeaten was 7-0. Chiefs are the first team to hold their opponents to 17 points or fewer in every game since 1977. Alex Smith is the first QB to win his first 9 games with a new team.
Whatever path the Chiefs continue to go down this year, previous history will have nothing to do with it and I for one and sick of the history of mostly sucking over the last 30 years being the reason why some believe THIS Chiefs team will not continue to win. The stench of those years has been eradicated. New GM, new coach, hell even the owner is relatively new. The culture of the 70's, 80's, 90's, and 00's Chiefs franchise is dead and buried. I don't see the storied successful history of the Pittsburgh Steelers or New York Giants generating any wins for them this season. So you can take your "Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since 1993" and stuff it up your pee hole.
