Just removing those comeback drives puts them at 8-8 last year....
Saddling a QB that has never made a start with the pressure of leading a SB defending team...Preseason is one thing... but wait until the critics and local media chime in when they start losing.
He faces his first real game plan on national TV against Carolina...and is going to be in a lot of tight ballgames. They arent going to get the shower of flags, late, like in the Patriots game either.

Are we playing that 'what if' game?
Landry Jones and PIT went toe to toe with KC @ Arrowhead, and it took a late 4th quarter TD to seal the 10 pint win. If Big Ben plays that game, KC loses and falls to 1-6.
KC gets Jimmy Clausen @ BAL... can't tell me that didn't impact the game.
KC struggled to beat the Browns by 4 at CLE with Johnny Football.
KC struggled to beat the Chargers by 7 @ Arrowhead (10-3 score), could do nothing all day.
In the road opener at HOU, KC is shut out on the road in the second half, and if HOU had a QB worth a damn (started Hoyer and played Mallet), maybe Houston is able to pull that win out.
Thankfully, that Santos guy had an MVP performance in a number of games. See, it's easy to play this 'what if' game.
