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.
One of the biggest variables likely within the next five years is Andy’s retirement.
Who replaces him, how that changes the coaching staff, etc. will be a critical juncture for the Chiefs’ continued Super Bowl window with Mahomes. [Reply]
I think the media is sleeping on how good the Rice/Worthy combo is going to be. Perhaps I am being a homer but I think they have a chance to be a prolific combo. Invest a high draft pick on a young, explosive running back and I am extremely bullish on the offense. We are getting younger and more explosive. Noah Gray is more than serviceable as a TE. Spend a high draft pick on your next franchise TE in the next couple years. [Reply]

Pat will be mid 30s… Reid early 70s. At some point, I think Reid retires in that window. Will Pat play another 10? Who knows, I just think the SB window is shorter than 10 years. [Reply]
This shit is so fucking dumb. We lost the fucking Super Bowl and now it's time for everyone to act like this team is some joke or something. If we won, then no one would have this conversation. Nothing changed. [Reply]

Exactly right. Why is this different than the Bucs punking us in the Super Bowl in 2021? After that, we lost both our tackles. The following year, we traded one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game. The train kept rolling.
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. [Reply]
My 2 cent opinion: Build your team around your QBs strengths and weaknesses. He needs protection, receivers who can run clean routes or freelance like Kelce, and a defense that can keep them in games and not be the 2024 Bengals. We’ve never had a threat running back since 2017, and as long as Andy is running things (no pun intended) it’s not likely we’ll give one the chance. [Reply]

Why does anyone think that (Allen,Jackson,Burrow,Herbert,Nix,Stroud) has to win a (1 each) Super Bowl in the next ten years?
Truth is they don't have to even make it there...
The next influx of QB's might be even better than they are...
They might have missed their time to even make a Super Bowl... [Reply]
Just to clarify I don’t think hangover means anything less than winning the division. But I think expecting another Super Bowl appearance with all the question marks is a bit optimistic. Plus everyone just saw us bleed. That’s going to embolden them. [Reply]

I don't see 'go to 5, win 3' as outside the realm of possibility at all. [Reply]

Let the offseason play out and by next August we will once again be feeling like another final four appearance is on deck.
There is literally no one else in the AFC right now but KC. Buffalo has a lot of cap issues, and the Chiefs own the Lamar and the Ravens. Rosters will change of course after FA and the draft. [Reply]

I think Buffalo has a lot of cap space next year. [Reply]
