Chiefs 2017 Predictions
 

14-2 , upgrade the line, get smith some weapons. Reid and Smith should be comfortable in their regime now. It's gonna be our year

Danewguy is a ****in moron

I'm sorry, I'm just being optimistic

10 wins. Win Wild Card. Lose Divisional.

9-7, lose Poe to FA and Dorsey to Green Bay and will draft an OT in the first round.

At best, one and done in the playoffs until we get a legitimate franchise QB

I'm on this bandwagon

As posted in another thread:

The Chiefs will be the first team in the history of the NFL to score more points than their opponent in a play off game but still lose.
A new record of failure for the franchise.

Cap room is looking tight. We're likely to lose Poe or Berry. Schedule looks hard.

10-6

9-7 6th seed wc loss in baltimore

0-16


HSIT!!!!

8-8

also to respond to "get smith some weapons"

you could give him an ak47 have him kill every defensive player and he still wouldnt hit hill downfield

This team will never win a SB much less a AFCG with Alex Smith. This offense is just not good enough to get through the post season. Regular season, sure, for a WC.. but it aint gonna get it done in the post season.

Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

The reality is the defense wasn't good enough this year. Blame it on injuries, blame it on whatever you want, but I'm sorry....bend but don't break isn't gonna cut it vs the elite QBs in the postseason. You can't expect a Brady to make the same mistakes that you saw lesser QBs make throughout the year to bail us out.

I guess people just look at offensive numbers and ignore the fact that they were barely on the field because our D was consistently getting gashed in the run game.

I'll put it this way...I have more faith in the offense making a crucial play than in the D getting a critical stop. The pass rush is nonexistent most of the time. I'm tired of people giving the defense a free pass. It was very solid the last 2 years but not this year. Only opportunistic.

Let's hope we don't lose Dorsey and he shores up the lines and linebacking corps, and Bailey and/or Howard return and make an impact.

13-3. First seed.

As Mellinger put it in his column, "The offensive line was mauled. The pass rush created almost no pressure."

Replay of the first game at Pittsburgh. Score was closer because the Steelers didn't execute in the red zone.

Going forward, one of these things has to happen:
1. Fire Andy Heck.
2. Upgrade line (Yes, Fulton sucks but is upgrading his position enough?)
3. Upgrade at QB (Smith, like most QBs, requires good pass-blocking)

(Look at Dallas, Pittsburgh, and GB. Three best pass blocking lines in the game.)

If none of these things are addressed, it'll take extreme amounts of luck to beat good teams in the playoffs. And let's face facts: #3 is all but possible going into next season.

Now, the D has issues, too. Not sure what the solution is there.

Nobody likes you

Ehinger will be back and please create some competition at the center position. Morse is too small at his position that running up middle is damn near impossible

Yet our offense could only come up with 16 points. Our offense has been lacking all year and supported by special teams play and pick 6's on defense.

10-6. Half of this board will have amnesia and act like this is the year, Chiefs will lose in the playoffs when Kelce fumbles in the red zone.

PAIN

I like the optimism however like most years, I'm going to be EeyOre and say the Chiefs finish 7-9 and out of the playoffs.

The schedule next year looks pretty tough... Probably not going to sweep the division again.

Can't just judge them by points scored (or even yards). Pittsburgh dominated the time of possession by gashing our D with the run.

Now there are obviously problems on offense...dropped passes, poor run blocking, not finding open receivers. I just don't understand why the D gets such a free pass.

Imagine if it were reversed and it was the offense that was "opportunistic," consistently converting short fields into scores but rarely putting together long drives or big plays, and getting little push from the line. Would we call it a great offense and never criticize it?

We will have as many playoff wins as the Browns.

Our division will be pretty tough next year

So will the rest of the schedule

I don't see as many freak ST/D scores happening

I don't really think the team will actually be worse - they will probably be better...BUT

9-7, wildcard, loss

If ASS11 is back does anything else really matter? I predict a winning season and some great tailgating action.

Disappointment

Mini-camp Champions!!

My Prediction for 2017 : lots of BBQ, no Super Bowl. "But there's always next year - 2018 season tickets on sale NOW!"

2017: Somewhere between 7-11 wins, with a ceiling of being done on the second weekend of the playoffs.

The Defense doesn't get a "pass", you ****ing imbecile. The D was GASSED from being on the field the entire first half. Also, missing DJ doesn't help the run D. At all. Don't know why Hali wasn't moved inside to help with the run, but I digress...

The fact remains that the D held the Steelers to 0 TDs at home during a playoff game. 18 pts on 6 FGs. If the offense can just score 3 TDs at home, we win. 3 TDs at home shouldn't be a tall order. That's not even one TD per qtr. Just one TD in the 3rd to go with the one in the 1st and the one in the 4th.

THAT is why people are critical of the offense. The offense that leaves the Defense on the field CONSTANTLY, 3 and out after 3 and out...can't even string a couple first downs together to give them a ****ing BREAK. The offense that constantly leaves the D in a bad spot...

For such an "offensive genius" as Reid, it's pretty ****ing pathetic. Weak sauce.

So it is going to be just like 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016?

Great!! Are season tickets available NOW??!! :drool:

hey dumbass..why don't you get mad at the offensefor not getting time of possession?

After the first drive, the Chiefs had 6 godawful drives.

5 plays-punt-3:03 mins
3 plays-INT-1:20 mins
3 plays-punt-1:01 mins
Halftime
3 plays-punt-1:12 mins
7 plays-punt-4:54 mins
7 plays-FG-2:50 mins

From 3:46 left in the 1st Q to 9:49 left in the 4th Q, the Chiefs had the ball for 14:32 mins. That's ****ing horrific.

**** anyone blaming the defense. The offense was garbage outside of the first and last drives

FACT.

The Steelers scored 0 TDs and less than 20 pts. At Arrowhead.

And the offense couldn't even match their 18 point output. At home.

****ing pathetic.

Not fiction.

Looking at how Reid's Philly team trended, I expect a slow decline next year due to his message falling on deaf ears.


8-8
7-9

There's only so much of this conservative shit that a player will play for until he says "**** it".

Pain, suffering, misery, a splash of hope mixed in, and then pure torture.

3-13

Ouch

The OL was terrible. Smith was mostly not good but he did get the game tied before the ref screwed us executing his orders to make sure Pitt won. The WR's were garbage dropping everything.

No surprise we lost.

This...except we'll draft an OG.

12-4

Another playoff game that ends in tears.

You've got a knack for picking him out of the crowd, I'll give you that. :D

Defense has the same talent level, but their unsustainable RZ D regresses to the mean. Fewer D and ST touchdowns leads to fewer fluky wins. OL likely plays better due to continued cohesion and development time.

Smith is Smith.

9-7, which may improve somewhat if they continue to target low character scum that has fallen down draft boards due to being human detritus.

11-5 regular season. One and done in the playoffs. It's what we do

14-2 in the regular season with home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Loses to the Colts in what will be known as the 'Aids Game'

But is our window still open?

Dont care..... Were not winning with Alex or Andy anyway...

It's closed. Chiefs are third poorest team after the Cowboys and Jets as it pertains to cap room for 2017. There's no money to sign elite offensive FAs (since apparently the best skill players in KC in the last 20 years isn't enough to win games that matter) and there isn't any one particular defensive signing that can outweigh the loss of Berry or Poe.

I predict that I'm going to find something better to do on Sundays

*ding* *ding*

That is what I did until it got cold as balls. I spent most of the fall Sundays out enjoying life. Once winter hit and if there wasn't shit to do I would watch the Alex Smith Shit show if I could stay awake.

Spent a lot of Sundays either flying or on the golf course with my son... We would listen to the Chiefs on NFL mobile... But sure made the Sunday afternoons more enjoyable than wasting it away in front of the TV.

12-4. We will see how the whole playoff thing works out.

6-10

It will be a banner flying, epic meltdown type of season.

8-8. 2nd place in the division. Patriots win the AFC Again.

Liar.

Schedule is rough just like this year. We pulled some wins out our butts with crazy plays that won't happen again. Caro should have been a loss. Atl should have been a loss. Not seeing 12-4 in 17. Not seeing us be much with Smith at QB.

I don't make predictions until I see what the roster(s) look like, including our competition in the AFCW

Blind guess of 11-5 going by Reid's average here. The problem is that this team is not elite at any one thing except maybe turnover differential assuming we keep playing Fitzpatrick and Bortles every year. Heart stopping games can go either way so we can just easily be 7-9 as we could be 12-4.
Reid seems to lack the SB or bust mentality especially when coaching a bottom tier franchise desperate for recognition. Why is the OL coach still employed? Why do we have two dummy OCs? Why take 30 seconds to relay a sideways pass through two hops to the QB?
Reid is not demanding excellence. No drive, no urgency, no willingness to improve, same 7 minute offense, same wasted timeouts but hey players are leaving as family so we got that going for us.

I predict that we will Dorsey will amass even more talent, which will inevitably be undermined by Alex Smith's severe limitations and Andy Reid's poor play-calling and reeruned clock management.

11 wins. SB win. :thumb:

We likely will miss the playoffs

Send half the team to the Pro Bowl and be one and done in the playoffs...

Minimal changes made, Hali & DJ retire, we roll with Smith and crew.

WC at best and we lose in the first round again.

Way to go out on a limb.

Who cares they suck

Spotrac has Mitchell as a RFA in 2017 and OTC has him signed. Not sure if he is or isn't. Chiefs need to keep this kid for sure.

9-11 wins, probably one and done, unless drawing Texans or similar 2nd tier team in first game.

One playoff win in four years. Normal situations like this the coaches/GMs in the NFL would be under fire in this year, year five.

It'll be interesting to see what the plan is to get over the hump. I'm not real excited though.

9-7, bounced by Tenn first round.

No money- gonna lose some players- this team will not be as good next year. We can't sustain any hope throwing just 17 passing TD's a year. Hell, Mascara Carr had that many passing TD's by week 8... Speaking of Carr. If he's our QB we win that game and are on to Foxboro. We have got to draft a QB and quit ****in around. Theres teams finding franchise QB's in rd 2-4. If this team has any hopes of winning a SB, we gotta draft a QB, and I'm taking one in rd 1 and grooming him for a year and let him take over in 2018

Another season of Smith mediocrity, wild card exit.

This draft is stacked with running backs. Filling the void at ILB shouldn't be too difficult since we just need to find one playmaker in FA or the draft. Tag Berry. Trade/release one between Poe, Howard, Bailey. Houstin and Maclin hopefully get their heads out of their asses. Cut Charles. Tamba and DJ restructure/retire. Tyreek builds chemistry with Smith. Ehinger returns. Peters and Mitchell continue to develop. Dirty Dan will be back. Jones and Nunez Roches come back hungry.

Plenty of optimism. 14 win season is achievable.

Im going 9-7. We blew the wad this year. Alex crashes the team. Last season.
