Football AFCW: Week 11 - Page 9

Mile High Mania · 01:27 PM

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

I think may have been going for an Alex Smith joke but missed.

Geebus, it was a silly response to his comment. Lighten up, Francis.

The only reason I care about who says what is for the sake of the nay sayers keeping a chip on our team's shoulders. Otherwise, I couldn't give a damn.

This isn't even a valid argument. We have had Miller out for six games, Woodyard out, Bailey out, Harris out, Inehacho out, Wolfe out. In short we have had massive injuries on the defense have totally impacted our defense. The Chiefs on the other hand have not had a single injury on the defense, have you even lost one starter for a game, no. 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.

I'll take "barely 9-0" over "solidly 8-1".

And quick, wow us with the list of powerhouses Denver has beaten this year.

And of course you believe we're frauds. You probably watch ESPN 24/7, as well.

Injuries are a part of the game. Every team has one of those years. Remember '11 when the Chiefs lost the players by week the to ACL injuries? You are correct, things even out eventually, it just may not be the same season.

And if 12-4 / 11-5 = frauds, I hope we are frauds every single year. Dumb ass.

I will take a legit playoff team with an actual hope to win the Super Bowl (Broncos) over a team with absolutely no chance (Chiefs). Eventually the incredibly luck the Chiefs have enjoyed this season will turn and balance out, you wont get every single break that you need to win and it starts this week.

Legit playoff team with the whopping 0 playoff wins with Manning?

AussieChiefsFan · 11-11-2013, 08:57 PM

If we lose by 10 or more points I think its more likely that we score like 16 points and Denver scores 26, rather than it being a very high scoring game.

You mean kind of like an offense setting all time records getting fat on the crap defenses of the league? But that's not lucky, right? That's just "winning the games you should win", right?

**Bowser** · 11-11-2013, 09:02 PM

I mean, Julius Thomas with that blazing 5.4 40 time going 74 yards against the Charger secondary is just pure skill. The Chargers had no hope against such an athlete.
