I'm stating that the Chiefs don't have any playmaking, game-changing players at this time.
I like Flowers, Carr, Page, Leggett, Dorsey and Tank. I think they're the beginning of a solid foundation for years to come.
But, the Chiefs don't have a Merriman, Ware, Suggs or Harrison on the roster. They traded (and rightfully so) a guy who was their best and most consistent defensive player in more than a decade.
OTWP58 and other people have made accusation that coaching is the reason for the lack of sacks and the small amount of wins the past two seasons.
And while that's certainly a factor (moreso on the defensive side of the ball than on the offensive side), the biggest factor in the Chiefs W/L record the lack of game-changing defensive playmakers.
You can't coach instinct, you can't coach up untalented players to Pro-Bowl level and you can't coach speed.
Talent is biggest factor in the Chiefs decline.
