Chiefs Early afternoon bullshit: the Chiefs in post-Manning era

RunKC · 02-02-2014, 01:52 PM

Peyton Manning has 1 more year at most IMO. I think he'll play next year, but after that he's done. I think there's a 30% chance he hangs 'em up tonight if he wins, but hopefully the Donkey's lose.

This begs the question...how do you feel about the Chiefs in the post Manning era? Keep in mind Brady is winding down too. He looked horrific in his last game and it begs the question of if he can win on the road in the playoffs.

I think that once Manning retires Denver will fall to the depth's of mediocrity. They'll be a 6-8 win team at best. I don't believe in Brock Assweiler.

I think the Chargers will be a little worse than last year. Ken Whisenhunt leaving is a huge loss for them IMO.

Obviously you have teams like the Colts and Ravens who will always be in the thick of it, but I think that we're going to have a lot of chances to be in the postseason in the near future. I like how Dorsey is building this thing and I think his draft picks from year 1 will show much more next year.

I think we are in a good position. Obviously we aren't beating Manning now, but build this team up so that we can take over when he's done. We have the GM IMO. We have the coach. We have the QB. Hell Russell Wilson, Tom Brady in his first SB appearance, Big Ben in his first SB appearance, Trent Dilfer, Rex Grossman..all of these guys were game managers and I think Alex Smith can be a better version of those guys when they were in those particular SB's.
Either way I'm ready for the ride.

Go Seahawks!

Win or lose, he'll be back.

The Chargers will win the AFCW before KC does.

It's wild card or bust for the chiefs for the next 2-3 seasons, then it will be time for a major rebuild.

Yeah, but three years in a row in the playoffs, what a run! How exciting! Andy Reid coach of the decade! Look at all our Pro Bowlers! Somebody kill me now!

It's important you read this...

Manning will probably play until he is 40.

Our best shot is to counter punch by adding a stud safety to pair with Berry and to continue to try and bolster the pass rush...especially from the DL. Hopefully, Bailey, Catapano and Powe can help with that.

We need to find a way to limit them from being able to get the big plays (Lewis and Robinson being gone should help) and then focus on being creative in the ways we try to get pressure on him.

I don't necessarily agree with this. The chiefs were the most improved AFCW team last year and it wasn't even close...give this regime a full season + offseason and see what they can do. We may not do better than 11 wins next season, but I'd be willing to bet we don't go 0-4 against SD and DEN again...

We've got the QB. Our best shot is to keep stocking the defense and giving him as many weapons as possible, and just hope the pieces we add will help us more than the pieces the Broncos add help them.

Truth be told, we're just plain ****ed until Manning retires.

Why would Manning retire? He's a protected species and gets hit maybe ten times a year. I think he plays five more years or more. There's no reason to stop until his arm gets too weak to throw. He's making, what $15 or $20 million per year?
