Another season by the way-side for the Kansas City Chiefs has fans and critics alike looking toward the future. Mixed emotions flood Chiefs Kingdom.

Just like that the 2017 season came to an abrupt stop for the Kansas City Chiefs. Another season of excitement and blind hope manifested into yet another year of tears and frustration. Embarrassing playoff losses hang over Chiefs Kingdom like the winter clouds and fans are left waiting for next year once again. It isn’t that the Chiefs lost, but how.

The Chiefs lose in historic fashion when it comes to playoff exits. This era has seen a gambit of ups and downs since Andy Reid and Alex Smith walked into town. That era is now finally over.

The resurgence of the Chiefs is greatly appreciated by fans, but the regular season gave fans hope year in and year out. The Chiefs sit in an unfamiliar void at the moment. Nobody knows what’s going to take place this off-season. The only known factor will be that the team will look different. Much different.

Despite the unknowns, the chances of the Chiefs being better are good. A few simple additions and the right players being retained could send this football team to another level.

The possibility of new schemes on both sides of the ball seem imminent. Fresh faces on the sideline mean just as much to a team as fresh faces on the field.

Through all these changes, there is a new hope for Chiefs Kingdom. Here are the reasons the 2018 Kansas City Chiefs will be better than the 2017 squad.
