We are severely lacking in the dreads department..

I doubt any team in the league could get as much out of him as Marvin Lewis and Vance Joseph did the past few years. Marvin Lewis is probably the best in the business in coaching/scheming the secondary.

I think signing him would cancel out the 6th round pick the Chiefs are projected to get for losing Stephenson or Branch (assuming he's signing for around $4MM).

Isn't it pretty telling that neither Lewis or Joseph want him? The Bengals have already said they are moving on and the Dolphins had him in for a physical but passed on him.

Isn't Aldon suspended for the year?

Man, if he comes back, the Raiders are gonna tough. I'm not sure but what I wouldn't consider them the team to beat in the west.

He's suspended till the middle of November I beleive.

But are you saying the Raiders are better than us?

Oakland is not the team to beat, though signing Smith or Nelson would help. You have to consider this when comparing KC and Oakland:

KC is miles ahead in terms of coaching.

Smith, while not as statically flashy, has still been better than Carr thus far. Carr has the pretty TD numbers, but what did he do every time he faced a great defense? He blew. His QBR reflects these flaws.

Oakland has the edge at WR (though KC isn't going to be bad there), but at RB and TE KC is miles ahead. Oakland gets the edge at OL on paper, but KC won't be a bottom feeder there either.

KC has one of the best interior DL's in the whole NFL. Our edge rushers, with Houston healthy, are right there with them. ILB is advantage KC by a long shot. Our secondary is still better, especially with them losing their leader in Woodson.

I'm not biting the hype just yet. Del Rio needs to start by not getting taken to the woodshed by Reid for once before I take the bait.

Raiders are the paper champs and everyone is picking
Them.

It is very close between us and them. Reggie McKenzie learned from the same teacher who taught Dorsey and it's showing with their draft picks.

They are a playoff team this year IMO.

To hell with being a paper champion.

Let the talking heads pick Oakland. Just motivate our guys a little more. Keep up the disrespect, while they ignore the facts.

I cannot wait for this fall. Where good teams actually show out.

Andy Reid can singlehandedly lose your team a game. Del Rio isn't brilliant or anything, but Andy Reid is probably the last HC in the league I'd want coaching my team in a close playoff game.

Reid would be a fantastic OC though.

Any coach can lose a team a game. Belichick has lost NE games before.

Doesn't change the fact that Reid is one of the best gameplanners in NFL history. Del Rio got raped in that week 17 game and it was obvious from the jump.

ROFL

Andy Reid, even with his faults, is easily the best head coach in the AFCW. EASILY.

Kubiak is the only HC in the division who has a Super Bowl ring.

Reid's a top 7 coach in the league. Atleast.
