Moves up to #6 today. But SOS is still #32, barely, despite Denver playing Jax. (We stay behind Denver because Oakland is now #30 in Sagarin)

The records of our opponents so far this year, minus all Chiefs/Broncos games:

Jags: 0-4

Cowboys: 3-1

Eagles: 3-1

Giants: 0-4

Titans: 3-2

Raiders: 2-2

I maintain my opinion from earlier in this thread: We have beaten two shitrockets, one decent team, and three good teams.

This isn't the BCS, who cares about SOS.

exactly this ^

Well, if you're taking out the Chiefs and Broncos, you should probably look at their wins, too...

Conclusion: What a crapfest. Kind of the problem with comparing schedules though... there are so many shitty-mediocre teams, there just aren't many tests in the regular season. Unfortunately, the previous big tests haven't really proven themselves to be contenders, but fortunately they'll have at least a couple of huge tests along with maybe 2-3 others.

I have to say, the Giants does not look like a 0-4 team. They are just snake bitten so hard, it's silly.

I hate the SOS argument. I mean there are two 6-0 teams in our division basically playing the same teams.

The SOS is important because it explains why we're only #6 overall despite having the record we have. It won't improve either with our next two dog opponents. I think our fans who are still a bit conflicted on how good we really are have a fair point to make.

Yep.

On the other hand, it's not like the Chiefs randomly selected the Jaguars. Regardless of the SOS or not, the bad teams like Jacksonville and I guess I'll throw in the Giants because of their record, they dominated those teams, although the Giant game took a little while to get it going.

Still, KC is beating the bad teams they should be beating, and beating average teams. I should also point out that beating teams on the road is no easy task, and KC is 3-0 in that regard.

No doubt. You can only play who you're scheduled to play.

But on the flip side of that, surely you can understand why the national media, and even fans of the team aren't exactly sure how good they are just yet.

They've let two bad teams hang around until the 4th quarter, and almost let a backup QB beat them.

And speaking of backup QB's, this is shaping up to look a lot like 2010, when we kept facing backup QB's. Looks like we're going to get a backup 5 weeks in a row. Yes, we're taking advantage of it, but it doesn't give a clear picture of what to expect when we actually play a team with a real offense.

Funny how Denver's opponents have an equally shitty record, yet nobody seems to hold that against them.

I guess even Sagarin's computer is set to ballwash Manning. :shake:

LMAO ya

Please don't say that. Even though I'm afraid you might be right.

If we were scoring 45 points a game, I don't think anyone would have doubts about us either.
