Assuming no repeat of last year's injuries, I think the Chiefs have the best team but the worst QB. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. They should win the division despite Cassel, but he could also be anchor enough to drag them down.

This is pretty much my opinion as well. I think we could have a good enough team to win the division despite Cassel. Pioli, like him or not, has put together a pretty good cast of talent around him. Will it be enough to win the division? We'll find out soon enough. We almost won it last year despite all the injuries, etc. Can't wait, though. I'm so stoked for the season.

We won't win the division despite Cassel.

The Chiefs aren't built to play from behind (THANKS MATT), and if either Denver or SD gets a lead (which both teams are built to put up points fast) then the Chiefs are in trouble.

It's a good thing our defense is stout. Well, it was last year anyway. Every year is different. Hopefully we can match or play better this year. SR is just as good as Carr sans the penalties. I'm hoping his 17 penalties were just the filth of the silver and black wearing off on him.

Sometimes i have to question how stout our D REALLY is.

They're very up and down. I know, i know, "But Detoxing, it's because the offense didn't help any"

While that may be, they let the Jets run all over them. Detroit ate them alive. SD, in SD has murdered them for the last several years. They let the Dolphins throw up 31 points on them. 34 By NE, and didn't they spot Indy a 21 point lead? What they surrendered to Buff isn't even worth mentioning.

Bad offense or not, i'd like to see them be more consistent before i get too comfortable with thinking they're going to control some of these offenses like we think they will.

Good points. I'd like to think some of those poor outings were because they got winded trying to save face with the crappy offense. They held NE as long as they could before it was just too much. Same with Detroit for a little bit of time. I think some is because bad offense and some is inconsistency. Hopefully Crennel gets that worked out.

I'm sorry for mentioning this because I know it's beaten like a drum here, but a lot of our weaknesses would be masked if we just had a franchise QB. Just sayin'.
