Worse still, higher stress games down the stretch yield MORE injuries at those critical junctions and less of an ability to manage workloads and get guys healthy and/or keep them fresh.
We're using up rope here that we'd sure like to have available in December. The degree of difficulty is getting higher. It's not impossible (nothing is with Mahomes under center) but you hate to see a franchise known for post-season dick-stepping put themselves in a harder position going forward.

Looking at the schedule, I really see a path to 12 wins. Really, the only 'tough" win you'll have to have is beating either New England or Minny.
Sure, you have to finish 7-1. But you're telling me they shouldn't beat Denver, LACx2, Oakland, Chicago (by then they'll be on Chase Daniel or some other shit bird), and the Titans?
Sure you've had some games they should have won this year, but they should be getting healthy and as you said, with Mahomes and the offense healthy, they should wreck.
