The Next 10 SB years?

[ROYC75]

Think about it, with the Chiefs having to retool our roster with the salary cap, how many times will we get back to the SB? How many times can we win?

I saw a segment on First Things First that has me thinking the same way here. We have been on a historical run, AFCW Champs,AFC Championship Games, plus the SB's.

Pat is 30, look at the rest of the AFC QB's he has to battle to get back to the SB. In the AFC alone, how SB's will be won by Allen,Jackson,Burrow,Herbert,Nix,Stroud, etc., not to mention a newer flux of QB talent just to the AFC, then add in the NFC teams you can meet in the SB.

So realistically, what can we expect in the next 10 years that we may have Pat for? I don't see Andy coaching 10 years or more!

Be realistic about this, we have had a GREAT RUN, but how much longer can we expect this.

This last SB was about the law of averages catching up to us. There was just so many things lining up that says, Here, this is the time you will lose and it happened to a quality opponent.

So what do you see in the next 10 years?

At this point, Mahomes is in his prime, we have two young stud receivers on rookie contracts and a young top 5 caliber defense.

People are overreacring. Never as bad or as good as it seems.

I agree that people are overreacting but in the Bucs SB loss you could chalk it up to injuries in the playoffs on the OL. This SB the team was healthy

KC can easily create 50-60 million of cap space to play with if they want to.

You'd be wrong.

They're $12 million over at present. Now they'll have some cuts and restructures that will help them find some room, but they aren't going to even be mid-pack when it comes to cap space.

Sacrifice a little defensively if needed, but you cant keep going to Superbowls and losing because your offense is getting absolutely ****ing destroyed.

I'm more than willing to let the defense slide back to middle of the pack, if it means getting back to an offense that can basically score at will

When you can do THAT you don't need a top defense, and KC has the receipts to prove it

Yup. Score at will and ask Spags to get a few stops a game.


A great offense also helps the defense as it puts all the pressure on the teams trying to keep pace.

Literally everything is skewed to favor the offense, so build your team accordingly

Who replaces him, how that changes the coaching staff, etc. will be a critical juncture for the Chiefs’ continued Super Bowl window with Mahomes.

This is my biggest concern! That and Veach hitting our draft pics!

I can see this too. But to the point I was wanting to make, we've had it easy, but the AFCW is going to get harder with the HC's in it. Getting HF is going to be tougher challenge.


So how many return trips to the SB and how many wins.

Yeah I do recall looking at their cap sheet not long ago and there aren't a lot of escape hatches or big potential savings from any one player like KC has.

The thing about the whole AFCW getting better is they get to beat up on each other.

So it's not like the Chargers or Broncos can just expect to sweep the other non-KC teams each year.

When it's all said and done, it's still gonna be tough to pry the 1st place spot from KC.

As an aside, does anyone think the chances of Lamar or Burrow getting to Super Bowls in the future is better today than it was 2-3 years ago?

I don't. Not even close.

I'm on record saying Burrow will never be back to one as long as he's a Cincinnati Bengal, and Lamar's game is going to suffer mightily as he loses steps eventually.

So the idea that you have to handicap one AFC title for Lamar, one for Burrow, etc is kinda silly IMO.

It's just as likely that a CJ Stroud would get there than those guys.
