If the Chiefs go 8-8 or better 49ers get a 2nd round pick.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

A third- or second-rounder from Kansas City, the remnant of the Alex Smith deal. Now it can be told: The second draft choice San Francisco will receive from the Smith deal will be K.C.'s second-rounder in 2014 if the Chiefs go 8-8 or better this season. It will be a third-rounder in 2014 if Kansas City is under .500 this season.

So: San Francisco will probably have first-, second- and four third-rounders next year. But if the Chiefs surprise, it'll more likely be a one, two twos and three threes. As we've seen, GM Trent Baalke is dangerous with extra picks in his hands. If Colin Kaepernick is very good, the Niners should be annual contenders for years with the picks laid out that way.

You guys all said that last year when they lost Routt, Boss, Kamerion Wimbley, lost their only coach that took them to 8-8 etc... remember that?

New rookie HC, growing pains, no way the Raiders dont finish last etc...

It didnt stop the Raiders from sweeping the Chiefs for the 2nd time in 3 years

Jags aren't a good team and they lost their best receiver for the opener and the Chargers losing Ingram and still not having a LT is gonna hit them hard.

Jags, Bills, Browns and Eagles aren't good teams. I don't think the Titans are that good either since Locker looks like a bust. Add to the fact that Oakland is the worst team in the league and the Chargers look weak.

I think it's a very good possibility we sweep the Raiders and Chargers. The Raiders lost all of their front 7, Huff and DHB.

The Chargers have Rivers, but their OL is still pathetic and they aren't going to get any pressure on the QB this year, which is a recipe for disaster.

We have some tough games, but all but 2 are at home, and one of those games is right after the bye week.

Hopefully we don't get injuries, but as it stands now, I think we are capable of securing a 6th seed.

I think Run's pretty spot on if Smith is even what he was in San Fran. Anymore and this team will be tough. Any less and well at least we get a chance at another QB next year with a high 1st.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't say anything like that. Your defensive front has been the part of your team that's been giving the Chiefs problems and it's gone now.

Who are proven entities on the Raiders? Tyvonn Branch? Darren McFadden?
An injured Jacoby Ford?

I can't think of anyone besides them.

If we split with the three stooges of the AFCW, it was a good run.

If this team wants to win against more than scrubs, the offense must control TOP and capitalize EVERY ****ING TIME on defensive turnovers. Even if it means only a field goal. Keep the defense in the game by keeping them off the field, and by showing them you can benefit from their work.

Then I have no idea why you hate Alex Smith so much, since he is the perfect QB for controlling TOP and keeping the D off the field.

An AFC team is gonna need to win 10 games to have a shot at a WC..

Chiefs wil split with Raiders/Chargers and get swept by the Broncos giving the Chiefs a 2-4 record in the AFC West
-
The Chiefs will need to go 8-2 outside the division <--- drink up

Yup. GIven the fact that the Bengals/Pitt are solid, along with Houston/Indy, I don't see how KC makes the playoffs.

I'm rather pessimistic though.

Sorry, but if we are conceding games against those teams, shoot me now.

They're saying the same things about the Chiefs

The Chiefs were the worst team in the NFL last year

Teams are penciling in a W when they see the Chiefs on their schedule
