So it's, but like I said, the mitigating factor to this is if they drafted two great players, then I'll just have to shut up.
But I can only analyze what's in front of me right now and the way they could have handled the draft and gotten two more good football players.
Well, the other part is the defensive secondary that the Chiefs built, generally with not high draft choices, also operated pretty well over the span of the Chiefs being good without any pass rush and lots of blitzing.
So they were put under duress a lot, and they were still pretty good.
I think Steve Spagnuolo is still on his game.
Say, well, boy, you've been doing the heavy lifting for a few years, Steve.
No, the shiny toys goes to the younger brother.
And it's definitely not unfair in a landscape where...
you pretty much, if you're talking about a close game, generally that means one where a field goal is going to be important.
You basically now usually need two first downs to kick a field goal.
Back then, you probably had to drive to be feeling pretty good.
You had to drive to the 25, maybe, you know, to think you're, oh, okay, we're good.
And the other team's dead afraid of doing stuff, so you're generally starting at the 32 or the 38.
