The SB Hangover: Do the Chiefs experience it?

[DaFace]

Winning back-to-back is super hard. Even in their dynasty, the Patriots only did it once.

I predict that we'll be a top team and be favored to win it all, but just like this past year, you need some luck to swing your way to actually win it.

Of course, this past year we had plenty of bad luck too. Just look at all the injuries to key players. Every team has injuries, but not every team loses their QB for 3 games, their best WR for 6 (I think) games, their LT for half the season, multiple key DL throughout the year, etc.

Sure, but I'm not worried about GETTING to the playoffs. We were pretty damn healthy in the playoffs (outside of Thornhill), and I'm not counting on that happening again.

I'm not saying that we don't have a shot - just that it's VERY hard to do.

If we get the 1-seed, we’re pretty close to a lock for the Super Bowl. Two home games off a bye is as good as it gets for Reid and Mahomes.

If we have better luck with injuries in the regular season, then I absolutely believe we’ll go 14-2. That pretty much guarantees us the 1 seed and puts everyone else at a significant disadvantage.

I’m sure we’ll make the playoffs every year. The regular season injury luck will probably determine our seeding.

You are correct. Being healthy for the postseason is key.

The Ravens game appears to be the most important game for determining the #1 seed. They have stacked their team this offseason. Is that who you have as one of the two losses?

Could be. I think the Ravens come back to reality this year.

I think they’re more of a 10-6 to 12-4 team. If Jackson wears down from so many carries, they could end up even worse.
