Pro Football Weekly has the Chiefs finishing 3rd...

greg63 · 06-05-2006, 10:17 PM

in the AFC behind the Donks and the Chargers with a season record of 10-6, again.

How do you, my fellow Planeteers, speculate on our finishing order?

2nd is the safe prediction seeing as this will be Rivers first year starting for the Chargers.....

Picking the Chiefs to finish 10-6 and miss the playoffs 2 years in a row is flat out cold when only 2 teams have ever done that in this playoff format.

Here is the finishing records, as they see it.

Donks: 11-5

Chargers: 10-6

Chiefs: 10-6

Faders: 6-10

Wrong.

Since the league went to a twelve team play-off in 1990, 4 teams have missed the play-offs with 10 wins. '05 Chiefs, '03 Dolphins, and the Eagles and 49ers both in 1991. 4 times in 15 years, rare but not that rare.

Before that, there were a lot of other 10-6 teams that would have missed the play-offs even if the league had allowed 12 instead of 10.

That being said, it's fairly unlikely that it would happen to the same team two years in a row.

The snake will be bitten once again this year and prove that last year was fluke, The Chargers, please, a rookie QB for all intense purposes, down the road a possiblity, but not this year. The Faders, need I say more. The CHIEFS will win the division this year, the offense may set another record, bt sticking with what works instead of getting too fancy allt he time. The "D" will be much improved and the CHIEFS will dominate the West. The National media would still poick the CHIEFS to finish last or next to last in a one team division, so who the heck listens to them, not me. GO CHIEFS.

I think Denver will fall off to about 10-6. Plummer had a career year last year and isn't likely to duplicate that.

Would they be wrong if they picked them to finish last in a one team division?

Here's a shock

I think Denver will win the division....

BWillie · 06-05-2006, 10:20 PM

Why do people think the Chargers are always so good? I mean, they go from being a horrible team for a decade. They have one decent year, then go 9-7 and people think they are god. They'll have a freakin' rookie(basically) QB, and I don't care waht anybody says Ladanian is not consistent, he'll pull out 7 yard games on u sometimes.

People last year said San Deigo was the best team to miss the playoffs. Excuse me?? Weren't we 10-6..San Diego can't even protect home turf. They went like 4-4 last year at home. What a bunch of hacks

Sounds realistic. There's no "non-homer" reason to expect better at this point. (Not that I won't be hoping.)

I'd predict 10-6 to 11-5, our NFC schedule is a joke this year...

tk13 · 06-05-2006, 10:21 PM

I'd bet against that. There's no way we win 10 games and finish 3rd. Especially considering it was rare enough that we won 10 and missed the playoffs last year. There'd be no parity at all for that to happen.

I'd bet against that exact scenario as well. However, it really doesn't matter if we finish second or third. I think 10-6 is a healthily optimistic prediction, and puts us on the playoff "bubble".

10-6 isn't the playoff bubble.......you'll make it 99 out of 100 times. Last year was the exception not the rule.

Mecca · 06-05-2006, 10:28 PM

If that happens 3 teams would have missed the playoffs at 10-6 and the Chiefs would account for 2 of them.

The Chargers are going to get more hype than they ever should because they got Tomlinson and Gates.....not to mention ESPN spent months telling everyone that Shawne Merriman is god.
