AFCW: Week 11

[Mile High Mania]

I feel like I'm having that moment in 'The Jerk' when Navin R. Johnson realizes the phone books just arrived. "It's here - It's here... Chiefs @ Broncos, sounds like your typical assholes are coming to town."

Anyway, this is what everyone around here has been clamoring about for months now, the only blemish is that it's 8-1 vs 9-0, but sole possession of first place is on the line here, and there's absolutely no lack for drama.

As I type this, the Manningverse is all lit up about the MRI that will be performed today and while it's definitely a concern, I don't see this being a case where he's missing the game. If that were to happen, then all bets are off as the 6'7 Sasquatch would see his first action... but again, that ain't happening.

Through 10 weeks, we have the following:

Chiefs 9-0
Broncos 8-1
Chargers 4-5
Raiders 3-6

Three games that matter, but really only one of any real importance as it relates to the race for the Division crown.

Raiders @ Texans
Neither team is really any good right now, but both have the potential to win this game. I'm keeping it easy here and sticking with the home team. Houston has better playmakers across the board, IMO. And, I like what Keenum has been doing. The Raiders look ... well, like the Raiders. I think it could be a fun game to watch, possibly, but the Texans win this one by 10.

Texans 27 / Raiders 17

Chargers @ Dolphins
As I type this, the Dolphins are in all kinds of disarray and preparing to battle the Bucs on MNF. So, no clue as to whether or not they're rolling into this game with a win or a loss.

Either way, I don't think it will matter as I believe the Chargers when this "battle of the coastal teams". San Diego has talent and they can put up points, but their defense is rather lame. I think this could be a good game, but the Chargers win this one after a big letdown at home vs the Broncos. Chargers fans will be teased into another few weeks of "maybe we can get a WC spot" before ultimately being disappointed after their team loses 4 of their final 6 games at the hands of Denver, KC (twice) and the Bengals.

Chargers 30 / Dolphins 17

Broncos vs Chiefs

There's not much more that can be said that isn't already being hotly debated on 72 other threads regarding this epic matchup. The Chiefs stroll into Denver with a perfect 9-0 record coming out of their bye week. The Chiefs are relatively healthy and determined to prove to everyone that they are without a doubt the best team in the land.

The Broncos slipped up against the Colts, and their defense has given up a fair amount of points and yards to every team they've played this season.

Every bit of success that Denver has is directly related to Manning - big shocker and with the ankle issues and the banged up Oline... there is cause for concern. The good news is that while the Chiefs have a nasty defense, their offense is fairly pedestrian.

I noted in another thread that if you were to compare Denver's production at home and KC's production on the road, it's not pretty for KC. In 4 road games, the Chiefs' offense has produced 5 TDs and 11 FGs, while the Defense and Special Teams has accounted for 5 other TDs. That's really good if you're a KC fan, but on the road in Denver... I think Smith and the passing game will have to become a bit more bold and productive, especially if Denver is successful in containing/limiting Charles.

I've thrown out a few random score predictions over the last week, but they all have one thing in common - I believe Denver wins this one by roughly 10 points. Yes, Manning is banged up - the Oline is banged up. The Chiefs defense is crazy nasty and will do all they can to hit Manning early, hard and often.

Can they be successful with this and can their offense put up 20+ points? I think Yes and No... it should be a fun game.

Broncos 34 / Chiefs 23

Fact: You don't know what a fact is.

And our special teams coverage has been pretty damned good. I think a return by Dante Hall Lite is also highly unlikely.

And Jamaal is on pace for 2,000+ all purpose yards. I'm good with Reid's scheme.

That little shit Trindon Holliday is more likely to fumble the ball than he is to score a TD.

You let McKelvin take one to the house the last game you played

Block in the back sprung it. Do you even pay attention?

And I suppose you think his due payment is going to come facing a Dave Toub-coached special teams unit, don't you?

Fact is this, the entire 9-0 start is a complete mirage, it is a combination of an easy schedule, incredible luck, and a lack of injuries. The Chiefs have been nothing but lucky the entire year and eventually things will even out and you wont get every single bounce or break going your way. The Chiefs have played as well as they possibly can, there is no next level, no way to improve for the Chiefs and you are barely 9-0, winning against mediocre teams by one or two points. The Broncos on the other hand have massive amounts of room to get better on defense, and they will. The Chiefs are a 100% fraud and they will be exposed, I think the Chiefs end up 12 and 4, possibly 11-5.

Bailey is washed up. Wolfe has been playing so has Woodward. Miller is a reerun and a cheater so don't involve him. There's no next level? That's false. You've won against these so called mediocre teams too. Stupid ****ing bronco trolls.

Well Dante Jr. should have about four returns, especially if holding calls don't count like they did with McKelvin. Seeing as how the refs won't call anything against the Donks in Denver, they may not.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good moment, Knowmo.

He knows that. He's just arrived at the trolling part of his night a little before schedule.

Lack of injuries? We had our starting TE out for a few weeks, were on our 4th TE, starting CB Flowers missed 2 games. Charles has blistered feet but plays though it.
