I Am So Tired Of Hearing About How Tough Our Schedule Is

philfree · 12-05-2005, 01:29 AM

The Chiefs have gotten healthy(for the most part) and are on a 3 game win streak. As tough as it is what team do we play the rest of the season who isn't dreading playing us? Who is scared of Who? If(yeah I know a big If.) we can pull off a two win road stent we'll be standing in tall cotton. Jax has Indy this week and then the Chargers get to go play in the dome in Indy the next week. Jax is gonna have a tough time winning with a backup QB and the Chargers are gonna have a hard time in that dome. This is where we can gain ground on a playoff spot but we gotta win on the road. All I can say besides Go! Chiefs! Go! Is Go Colts! (Gawd I hate them as bad as the Donks but......) Go Colts!

Not only that, but Denver still has the Chargers in San Diego, last game of the season. That'll probably be a loss for Denver. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if they whiff in Buffalo, too. Buffalo is an easy team to overlook, and that's a mistake. They might pull out a win in that one, but I suspect it'll be one of the hardest-fought wins they'll get this year, if they get it at all. Buffalo in December is one of the least desirable places to play!

I'm getting tired of it, too. Now that we proved were a good team, all the Donk fans want to talk about is how our schedule is going to **** us.

Our remaining schedule IS the toughest in NFL, but we did just beat the "#2 team" in the nation.

Buffalo might have been an easy team for KC to overlook, but I dont see Denver doing the same. Winning in Buffalo is tough, but Denver has done much more impressive things on the road than that this season - like pounding Jacksonville and beating Dallas.

Denver also plays Oakland and Baltimore in Denver. I say Denver splits the two road games and picks up the two home wins. That puts Denver at 12-4. 12-4 is virtually out of reach for KC. With the look of their schedule, I would expect a 10-6 season with losses to 2 of SD, CIN, DAL, or NY.

Saying that Denver will drop games to the likes of Buffalo and saying that the Chiefs will win all of those extremely difficult games doesnt seem very reasonable to me. I think that 11-5 is the ceiling for those guys with 9-7 a large possibility.

Well, nothing is a foregone conclusion for any of these three teams (KC, SD, Denver). We'll see in four weeks.

No if we win the next four we go 12-4........It may not be easy but it is not out of reach. I don't expect the Cowboys to be anything but a dogfight but I also get the feeling that they are starting to tank it.....So it's one game at a time and with the Chiefs getting healthy there isn't a game left on schedule that we can't win. At this time the one game is the Cowboys..........If we win in Dallas does that still mean we are gonna be a victim of our "tough schedule"?

Yes. In reality your team can really only lose one more game and keep hope of winning the division. Getting a wild card is another story.

If you guys win at Dallas (Dallas is playing very well right now and cant afford to lose that game), then you have to go to NY...are they tanking it too? Is Cincy tanking it coming off of a monster win in Pittsburgh? I know that the Chargers dont look like they're tanking it. They just waxed the Raiders.

Denver could melt down and go 2-2 and still win the division fairly decisively.

RedDread · 12-05-2005, 03:49 AM

Hey did you hear? Our remaining schedule is really tough.

**007** · 12-05-2005, 03:49 AM

How about we quit fueling this discussion and just take care of business in Dallas right now.

One game at a time is the ticket. That said if the Cowboys are playing so well then why have they dropped two games in a row? Like a said it'll be a dogfight.......I like our chances none the less.

I'm a little more realistic, but optimism is probably a lot better perspective to have. Much less maddening for sure.

Realism is in the eye of the beholder I guess but yeah I have to agree that my perspective is better.......from my perspective anyways

Our schedule is tough; all the teams have winning records. What people fail to point out is that half the games are at home, and we have an 8-4 record ourselves. So, it would seem to me, if the teams we're playing are tough because of their records, then I guess we must be, too. That is, if we're judging based on the vacuum that is record to date.

Meh, it's 4:30 in the morning, and I'm a bit too tired to take care of business right now. Can we wait until Sunday, instead?
