They've also had the good fortune of playing several 2nd or 3rd string QBs for a stretch. Are they for real? Do they have a chance to win the division and conference?

I'm a huge Chiefs fan, and I say no. At year end they are likely 11-5 and the number 5 seed. The defence has come together as Sutton really is getting everything out of the talent he has. I think their offensive line is a bit of a weakness and they lack another playmaker in the passing game. So combine that with a game managing QB and the offence lacks. But when they have been behind in games against Oakland, Dallas, Tennessee, and Houston the defence has been able to go on lockdown and the offence did get back into the game. Having a QB who can put up Tecmo Bowl numbers after you're down 21 points is nice. But if your defence can't get some stops...it's just fantasy numbers. So far the Chiefs defence hasn't let that happen, so the offence hasn't needed to deviate from it's game plan.
