Chiefs 2025 Chiefs: the Great Reset?

scho63 · 02-13-2025, 05:39 AM

Successful teams in NFL history have seen a boom time end for a variety of reasons:
- Team ages out and great veterans retire
- Slew of injuries
- Hall of Fame QB retires or his talent declines
- Salary cap kills roster
- Consecutive years of bad drafts
- Their division improves dramatically
- Ownership, management or coaching changes for the worse
- Team turmoil or unforseen events/tragedy

The Chiefs are facing several of these as we begin the offseason.

Since Mahomes, no team has played more games or has longer seasons than the Chiefs. It seemed to show a little this year as the regular season came to a close.

We have become so spoiled since PM III that the idea of not making the playoffs or the AFC Championship game seems laughable.

With so many challenges of trying to sign all our FA's, the fatigue of all these long seasons, the strong possibility of Travis Kelce's retirement and all the roster holes like our Oline, what is the likelihood we have a setback this year and either miss the playoffs, not win the division or get knocked out early?

Would it be a tragedy to have a short season for the year and not deal with any extra games?

Could this be our first BIG reset year? We did reset after Tampa Bay in some ways and it worked out with no disruption to our making the playoffs.

I would rather a year of completely fixing our entire Oline at the expense of the making the playoffs vs having Mahomes suffer another year of the beating he took in 2024. The 6 sacks and complete destruction of him during the Super Bowl was the culmination and cherry on top of what was a real setback year for him. Yeah we made the Super Bowl and that sounds crazy picking on Patrick but numbers don't lie.

Don't want to see him suffer a major injury due to the failure of the Oline. That strip sack and hit he took was scary. Looked like his arm was nearly ripped out of the socket and then he was smacked in the face hard.

So here is the multiple choice question:
A. Do you think we get worse and miss the playoffs or early exit?
B. Do you think we get better and WIN the Super Bowl?
C. Same 'ol same 'ol cause Reid and Mahomes
D. We do.a one year rebuild and take a mini-break from the playoffs

I would be perfectly OK with a 1 year reset if we came back "stronger, better, faster", just like the Six Million Dollar Man.
