Year after year, casual NFL fans that have been playing too much Madden and fantasy football underestimate the effect coaching can have on the success of a team. Every offseason brings a bunch of personnel changes and the introduction of new talent via the draft, and all of a sudden every fan thinks their team will be great because of this player or that player. When in fact a team's success (or even an individual's) is the sum of many parts, and nothing changes that equation more drastically than coaching.

The consistency, continuity, and leadership Andy Reid and Brett Veach have brought to the Kansas City Chiefs is the reason they are as balanced as they are. Balance equals resiliency, and now the Chiefs can beat you in many different ways which significantly lessons the likelihood of an early playoff exit. Stop one strategy and they can win with another.

This team is not perfect and injuries can affect us down the stretch as they do any team, and just like any team they can certainly be beaten. But make no mistake Andy Reid, Brett Veach, and by extension their staffs are the reason this is one of the best Chiefs teams ever. My suggestion is to enjoy the ride, wherever it may lead us, because it will not last forever.

Lol, at Rashee Rice just selling his route so hard on a screen pass that the corner is standing out of bounds while Pacheco dances across the goal line.
