Worst to First?
And the ESPN/NFL Network love fest for the chiefs continue. On NFL Live they said the chiefs were the most likely team to go worst to first in our division, and yes they all realized Peyton Manning is still the qb for the Broncos.

LMAO

Worst to 1st pick?

Having to take super sloppy 4ths after the Raiders finish. Is enough motivation for any one.

Well, unless the Broncos are going 7-9 there is no chance of that worst to first.
|
worst to 1st team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs
|
I'll get excited once we produce on the field. It seems like every 2-3 years we are picked as the breakout team and even in the years when we do win some games we get our asses handed to us in the playoffs. I want to quit talking about it and finally do something.

Someone forgot to say "in opposite land."

It's possible. Just depends on how awful you think RAC was and how good you think Andy Reid is.
That said, Peyton's gonna have to be injured for us to compete in the division unless some sort of miracle happens. |
I'm still waiting for Dustin Colquitt to have a break out season with guys muffing his left booted punts. Sure he can put the nail in the coffin but I want to see guys struggle catching his punts because he kicks left footed.

They're really going out on a limb ... predicting that the ONLY worst team in our division is the pick for the most likely to go from worst to first.

I am assuming you meant to say most likely of all last place teams to win the division. No biggie I knew what you meant and would not have mentioned it but then followed by this.

It is very possible. I'm not sure what's so funny about the notion. 5-6 new playoff teams pretty much every year for the last 2 decades.

Manning's a machine.
unless he just completely loses a step in his game we're chasing a WC spot at this point. I don't think we'll beat Denver at all this season....not w/ Alex Smith. Maybe if Tom Brady or Drew Brees was our QB. In order to beat an elite QB like that you need one of your own. |

And I'd like to know who, other than Von Miller, is going to show up on their defense. Denver doesn't have a very sexy roster and the only reason people think that they are going to amount to jack squat is the Peyton Manning they remember three/four years ago prior to the neck injuries/surgeries. He ain't that guy anymore. |
He only has to be 10% of that guy to be 100 times better than the quarterback we have

And I'm not trying to homer it. If Reid and Smith mesh, and are able to get some ball control offense going, this team has the potential to easily win the AFC West. Smith is a perfect fit for Reid's Lavell Edwards west coast system and it looks like Reid is showing flexibility in modernizing his system by bringing in Ault and Childress to tweak it up with new wrinkles based on the success of the pistol/spread. The defense was left as a base 34 to take advantage of the personnel on the roster and it's already been noted that they will attack a lot more and man up versus playing a shitty read and react. That will give guys like Hali, Houston, Johnson, Flowers and Berry the opportunity to take advantage of their extensive skill sets/physical/athletic capabilities, in addition to guys like Poe and Bailey who should also blossom in this type of defense. Potentially the best linebacking corps in the entire league, a top ten (possibly top five) secondary, the second best running back in the league, potentially the best possession receiver in the league, a very solid tight end group and an offensive line that has the potential to be top five/three. Special teams should be very good with a lot of speed in Wylie, Davis, et al. The coaching staff might be the best in totality in the entire league as well. I personally think that last year was an aberration that was a result of Pioli's despotic reign of terror and Crennel/Daboll's massive incompetence. If these guys/coaches mesh, this is a team with the talent to go supernova. |

You're talking about the defense that finished #2 last season? The defense that was better than the 49ers against the run and the pass? That defense? |
NFL wants Denver/Manning Vs. KC.
No one really gives a $3it about the Fade or Chargers... |

the 49ers would of destroyed the donkeys last year, and that was with EITHER QB. |
Quote:
And how many pts did that defense puke vs winning teams? It reminds me of the GROB/Elway years... |
Quote:
At least we beat all the terrible teams in our division. You guys couldn't beat a 7 win team, even though you had 2 games against them. |
Quote:
Consider that Houston and Hali combined for 19 sacks in 2012 when their pass rush opportunities were severely limited due to the Chiefs being behind for the vast majority of the season. If the Chiefs offense can generate any type of ball control in 2013 and keep our pass rushers fresh, I think that they can easily equal the 26.5 sacks put up by Smith and Brooks. And Johnson had more solo tackles than either Bowman or Willis in 2012. (110 versus 96 and 88 respectively.) If Nico Johnson is able to pick up the defense quickly and put his size and athleticism to work, they could easily have a linebacking corps that is very close to what the 49er's put on the field. |

We're not gonna be better than the Broncos, though I think we can split with them.
The Broncos offense will be the best in the league next year. They have the best WR core in the league and it's really not that close. Our defense has some great pieces, BUT we still don't have the DL to get enough consistent pressure on Manning. And my God Dunta Robinson vs Wes Welker is the biggest mismatch ever. Welker will OWN Robinson. I hope we just put Berry on him bc he's probably our best shot at covering him. Manning is still gonna be a top 10 QB, probably still top 5. Until I see him decline, he's still there. Last year proved he was still elite. But the Broncos defense isn't scary at all. Outside of Von Miller, they don't have any standout players IMO. Champ is old, Phillips fed off very good DE's last year who took up blocks for him, and who else do they have that should scare us? Charles will get his yards, our bookend OT's are going to make it difficult for Von to get sacks off the edge and I LOVE our TE matchups against their LB's. Absolutely love it. Broncos will win around 12 or 13 again and we'll win 8 or 9 IMO. We still need to build our team up more. |

Honestly there are so many questions on our team for me to expect them to automatically be a playoff team this year.
Questions at DL, #2 WR, CB (I like Smith and hope he works out in our scheme) and interior OL (specifically LG and C) are all unknowns. I think we'll be better equiped in 2014 once we have another draft and FA to build the team more. Remember, Pioli did such a horrible job with this team that our new regime had to use FA to fill a bunch of his **** up's. |

#2 WR can be negated with great TE play and average to good slot receiver usage, but still a question. I think the offensive line will be fine outside of center. |

The idea that a SB coach only does one thing great is a joke. Winners know the X's and 0's. They know talent. They motivate their team. All three. Not 1 or 2 of the 3 necessary... |

If Alex Smith continues to improve from where he left off at SF, and maybe adds a little bit of distance in his passing game, then we can most certainly challenge Denver for the division title or perhaps a WC spot.
But honestly I don't expect that. I expect for us to be much better offensively because Smith will have all the tools in the world to play/benefit with and the only way is to go up considering how ****ing terrible we were esp in the passing game. But he's never been a stud QB that makes others better. He's a game managing QB who doesn't take chances downfield. But he will have a good solid Oline, superstar runningback, a pro-bowl caliber WR in Bowe, plus a couple other former first round WR picks that have talent, but haven't reached full potential, and a rookie TE that seems like he can make a little noise this season. Not sure if Moeaki even makes the team. If he's fully healthy and does, great! - We'll have a double TE set that can create matchup problems and is also something AS exceeds at. With the new coaches, I think this season will be an adjustment period as everyone gets a feel for eachother, it will just look a lot better because Reid's a much better coach and brings a lot more to the table than Haley or Crennel. But this season? Anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7 and at best we sneak into a WC spot. It's next season 2014 is when I think we can knock Denver off for division champ, get a 1-2 seed in the playoffs w/ HF advantage and will make a deep run, hopefully a SB. Also next season we draft a QB in the first rd and don't pay AS until the season's end, if he's worth being resigned. |

Geez, we'll, you can tell the season is getting closer. |
It depends how the year goes early. If we play ok early and can stay in the hunt, IIRC, we have the Broncos late both times.
If Arrowhead could be what it was, for that home game in December, we could beat them at home. |

Arrowhead's magic is gone to the point I don't think they can beat a PM lead Donk team so thr wins have to come from elsewhere.. |

The South is somewhat the same story. The Titans and jags are potential top 5 picking teams. So it just depends. I think 10 wins is the number though. |
Losing record against quality opponents. No one fears Denver but scrubs.
