Instead it looks like last year's success was just a product of one of the weakest schedules in recent NFL history.
Judging by what has transpired the early part of this season, it appears the Chiefs are much closer to the 2009 team than last year's team... which means that virtually no progress has been made under Haley/Pioli.
Herm/Carl at least had an excuse for why things tanked after their playoff season... they took the oldest team in the league and started a massive youth movement. Haley/Pioli have a young team that should be on the upswing, yet that doesn't appear to case.
If you can provide any evidence, based on the Buffalo fiasco that the Chiefs are still on the upswing and will build on last year's playoff performance, I'd be very interested to see it.

Ok, I thought you said Peterson and Herm caused massive destruction you know, like Hitler, but if they had an excuse so I guess they're off the hook.
Yeah, it looks bad for the Chiefs right now. They appear to have entered the season unprepared to play, which is a direct result of the way Haley handled training camp and the preseason. I blame Haley for making a really bad decision on how to go about things this off season, and yeah it goes back to Pioli for hiring Haley, but I believe Pioli wasn't thrilled with the choice in the first place. He was late in getting the GM job, and had fewer HC options when the process began, also he doesn't seem to really care for Haley, and I'll bet if the season continues the way it's started this will be Haleys last season.
Pioli might prove to make everyone long for the days of Peterson, I just don't see how you could be there just yet.
