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?

Wanna know how I know you’re a troll that hasn’t actually paid any attention to the Chiefs this season?

Putting a good-elite Oline in front of Mahomes should be paramount going forward even if takes 2-3 seasons. He won't be able to use his legs forever.
He's won 3/5 Super Bowls against an average pressure rate of 47%. If that number ever got down to 40% or less he'd be unstoppable. Get it down to 35% (the avg pressure rate in the SB since '01) or less and we start morgue-chalking opposing defenses right there on the field.

And due to a tougher division, they won't be the #1 seed each year either. Denver and LA, with those coaches and QB's, are coming and you can start to count on at least 2 division losses per year.
There'll also be a string of bad luck that's due, whether it be injury or bad calls costing them a playoff game, some team comes out of nowhere in the playoffs, etc. The Chiefs have traveled a path of very good luck the past 5 years and there is a law of averages in the NFL.
The team will continue to win 11+ games each year for years, but staying at the very top is virtually impossible. If you look at NE from 2007 thru 2014, after winning 3 rings in 4 years, they were the best team in the league most of those 8 years, had the best QB-HC-offense, made it to the dance twice, made it to 4 other AFCC games, but went 0 for 8.
If you flip a coin five times and it came up heads five times, the law of averages says the percentage chance of it coming up heads on the next toss of a fair throw is 50%
