Hey you negative bandwagon fans just leave this board if you don't believe in our Chiefs. I think they'll win 10 straight games and go to the Superbowl!

There's a diference in being negative and being realistic. I'm not going to sit here and lie to myself about what the team is.

11-14-2005, 07:16 AM

Realism, what the hell does that have to do with being a Chiefs fan?

Extra Point · 11-14-2005, 07:27 AM

Unless the commissioner instates an NBA-type playoff system, we be done.

But, hey, let's play for pride:

And let's hope, golly gee whiz, that all these other teams in the NFL lose the right amount so we can make it in:

siberian khatru · 11-14-2005, 07:32 AM

Seriously, we could lose our last 6 games.

Realistically, at minimum, I think we lose 3 more games -- @ Dallas and the Giants, and one of the home games against NE, Denver, SD or Cincy. That means, at best, we're 9-7. AT BEST.

jspchief · 11-14-2005, 07:33 AM

Playoffs? Hell no.

8-8? If we get lucky in a few games.

I love your optimism but it might be a little blinding. There are many of us that love the Chiefs but realize that this year's situation is no different than the last twenty years. It's the same old story. I'd love for them to win 10 straight and win the SuperBowl but it's not going to happen. I will be happy if they have a winning season and beat Denver at home.

InChiefsHeaven · 11-14-2005, 07:45 AM

It just hurts being a Chiefs fan, but I must be a masochistic freak, cuz I'm still a fan. That said, it is painfully obvious that our vaunted offense is not even half as effective as in years past, just in time for our defense to begin to improve. We can't make the playoffs with this pitiful shell of what this offense once was. 8-8 is a realistic number, but I suppose 9-7 might be possible. We'll get some cool wins that will make us feel good, but in the end they will fall short. I only hope that Trent makes it out alive. He's never been knocked around like this as a Chief. He's a tough nut, but not many can take that kind of pounding for long.

I predict we will have a great D in the next 2 or 3 seasons, but won't be able to muster more than 14 pts a game on offense. It'll be the 90's all over again.

You guys are definitely still in it. I'm not saying you're going to win the SB, or even guarantee the playoffs, but you DO have a shot.

1. Denver might crash back to earth (2nd half collapses are par for the course).

2. AFC isn't as strong as it has been the last 3 or so years, IMHO.

3. You have a game in hand on Buffalo, at the moment, can beat the Pats at Arrowhead to get a game up on us (plus tie-breaker benefit), etc.

It's not that bad. That said, you DO NOT control your own destiny at this point, and obviously need to start playing a helluva lot better, but it's not impossible or anything.

jidar · 11-14-2005, 08:23 AM

unlikely
Would be awesome if we did, but I'm not expecting it.

chagrin · 11-14-2005, 08:40 AM

I don't know, I counted yesterday (at the beginning of the season) as a W for us, like everyone else did too. So, I am with Khatru, 9-7 at best

ROYC75 · 11-14-2005, 08:40 AM

Nope. 8 - 8 and another middle of the road draft pick.

Well, sure I mean anything is possible. We could win out and go 12-4 on the season, win the division, blah blah. The question is not what we can possibly do, but what as fans we think we will do, based on what we saw.

That being the case, I just don't think we will make the playoffs. I think we can, but we just won't.

It's not about the scenarios with which we could still make the play-offs. It's not about still being in it "mathematically".

It's about recognizing what your team is capable of, based on the performance they've put on the field. The Chiefs have yet to beat a good team on the road, and have mostly only been competitive with other mediocre teams. We only look "great" against lousy teams.

After a nine game sample, it is clear that we are just mediocre. A mediocre team isn't going to make the play-offs in the AFC this year.

KCFalcon59 · 11-14-2005, 09:07 AM

We're done. Unless Roaf comes back and somehow Welbourne or Bober or hell for that matter any one of the rookie linemen start playing right tackle like they were born to play it then we might have a chance. But that is not going to happen.
