And, since they were screwing up their draft pick and the rookies were improving, I was more than happy to watch them advance - even if they weren't going to win a playoff game.
Then, they lose a couple of players on a team already lacking leaders and they lose two big leaders... and they lay a turd in SF. It is what it is, but without CHj and Sanders, they're not beating the Chargers in the final week - hell, they'll have their hands full this week with the Browns. Just too much inexperience and youth, but that's fine.
My expectations were set for the way this season is ending. I'm not losing any sleep over it and the fact that you seem to believe I was in the "we're going to playoffs and we're good again" camp is kind of funny.

Whatever leopard... To play it how you play it is your shtick. THAT'S not kind of funny - it's very funny.
Injury excuse! -
They were never going to make the playoffs. Even when your team has the right game plan, and show up and hit hard, run hard, etc, and everything is nearly perfect, and you are hanging with the better team, a flaw in execution, can be fatal. You don’t think the Chiefs were ever an inch away from beating Denver multiple times if “X” had happened when it should have? Or if "X Player / Players" wasn't injured or whatever???...That’s part of the deal now. You guys can even out coach (to use one of your terms - "doubtful) and outplay better teams and make ONE mistake or have the QB fail ONE time in a crucial spot and have no margins for error. It gets real easy to say “We were one pass away” from winning and "We were an "INJURED PLAYER or TWO away from winning" etc...How many times have you already said it this year? “We were one FG away” from beating the Texans. "We were one pass way from beating the Chiefs, We were one turnover away from beating the Ravens".... Really, you aren’t one of anything away, except for needing a franchise QB (and a HC). The idea of being one pass, kick, player, tackle, or anything away is what you ALWAYS are without the QB. Enjoy!
