San Diego could very well be fighting for its playoff life at that point in the season. Indy has had one bad game, and I actually agree that team is on the way down, but I need to see a little more before I believe the St. Louis game is more than an aberration. And Washington... yes, up-and-down this season, but that team has a formula that could give the Chiefs some trouble on the road (mobile quarterback who is a threat to run, good running back/running game). And I didn't say they WOULD lose all of those, just that 2 or 3 from that group wouldn't completely surprise me. |

I think the idea that Reid is holding stuff back at this point is just fan hope/attempt to explain away offensive ineptitude. |

A cursory look around the NFL this past Sunday, during the Chiefs Bye, would show terrible outings by many playoff contenders. The Bengals and Ravens were awful, the once great Steelers worse, the Broncos couldn't score in the second half against a lame San Diego team, the 49ers had 91 yards passing, etc. and so on. Too many people in this forum focus solely on the Chiefs deficiencies yet fail to recognize that 95% of NFL teams have far more issues. Quote:
The Broncos of course can continue at this pace but the Chiefs can't. That's all I keep hearing from the national media and "Chicken Littles" in this forum". Quote:
Huh? Quote:
I think we're watching different teams. While the Chiefs have most certainly left numerous points on the field, they've only needed a defensive score to win a football game just once, in Buffalo. Quote:
That's just unequivocal nonsense. |

The Redskins defense is atrocious. The Chiefs haven't had an issue with mobile QB's this season. Andy Reid is 3-0 against the NFC East and I don't see any rational reason for that not to become 4-0. We clearly disagree on San Diego. I see a bad team with a QB that seems to shit himself at the most inopportune times. Whisenhunt's play calling has been questionable and I don't believe they have a playoff caliber defense. |

I'm really hoping for the Mini-Ditka OL thing, though. Hoping, not calling. Dinny |
Furthermore, I can't see San Diego in the playoff hunt come December 29th for many reasons, including their schedule. At 4-5, they'll need at least nine wins (if not ten) to make the playoffs because Denver, KC, NE and Indy are virtual locks, with Cincy, Cleveland, Baltimore and the Jets battling for the final two spots.
So, SD will need at least five out of their last seven wins against @Miami, @KC, Cincy, NY Giants, @Denver, Oakland and KC. That doesn't leave them much room for error. |

Regarding Redskins, yes that D is not good. I expect KC's O to put up 17-20 points, based on what we've seen so far from the Chefs. But the Redskins DO have some talent offensively and have the game at home. Not predicting a LOSS, just a game that is not a sure WIN. I look at San Diego and see a team whose D is not great but is capable of holding the Chiefs' anemic offense to 20 points or less. I also see an offense that can move the ball and is good enough to jump out to a lead and force KC to play catchup. |
The Chiefs don't have much to lose this weekend but they have a lot to gain. The great thing is that if the Chiefs beat Denver these two games and beat San Diego and Denver loses to NE, then the Chiefs will have won the division on December 1st. That would make any potential losses towards the end much less meaningful.
Obviously that is a lot of speculation but it is not beyond the realm of possiblity, especially if we win this weekend and really knock Manning around leaving him even worse off than he is now. |

If they're out of the playoff picture, I think we'll see an anemic Chargers team. If the Chiefs have a first round bye or a WC game schedule at Arrowhead, I think we'll see a virtual preseason performance by the Chiefs. If the Chiefs need a victory to secure home field and the Chargers are out of it, I think we'll see a determined Chiefs team that will overwhelm San Diego. The bottom line is that I really don't see the Chargers game as being competitive. If the Chiefs need it, they'll win. If they don't, it won't matter if they win or lose. |

Ryan Fitzgerald as a playoff QB? LMAO |
One thing I will bet on. I bet Alex Smith gets hit late, gets hit high, gets hit around knees, on repeated occasions. And if we so much as breathe on the Big Giant Forehead we'll get a roughing penalty. Guarantee it.

They'll beat the Giants in San Diego. They'll beat the Raiders in San Diego. They need 2 more wins before KC comes in for that game to even potentially matter. Definitely possible it isn't on the table. The only game left on the Chiefs schedule that I will say flat out is a loss is the one Sunday. The other games I identified after this Sunday are just games that I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose (not saying would, or should, or even likely WILL). |
