Sporting News on the Chiefs and the AFC West

06-24-2001, 05:36 PM

Quote from the Sporting News:

"It may be early, but here is my projected order of finish for the AFC West this season:

1. Raiders (13-3)
2. Broncos (10-6)
3. Chargers (9-7)
4. Seahawks (8-8)
5. Chiefs (4-12)

What a rudy-poo, does anyone seriously think we can only beat 4 of the teams on our schedule? What a DIP!

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-24-2001, 07:59 PM

Geez!

Does anyone actually think that we will be that bad (4-12) if so, I wanna know why?

CG

these so-called experts confuse me:confused: as to why they think we will be that bad?

**Bwana** · 06-24-2001, 08:07 PM

LOL! 4 wins?? Where do they find these "experts?" These outfits must hire any slack jawed strokestick off the street and put them to work.

JOhn · 06-24-2001, 08:10 PM

ROFLMAO I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

EVERYTIME all the "experts" pick us to bomb, we WIN. Both seasons we went 13-3 we were picked as the cellar dewlers.

So bring on the doom-sayers

"lovin every minute of it!"

DaWolf · 06-24-2001, 08:18 PM

Dudes, it's not an expert, it is, as Clint called him, that "nerd" Vinnie Iyer...

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-24-2001, 08:40 PM

JOhn,

For our sake, I hope we don't go 13-3, more like; 14-2 or 12-4, or something like that.

CG

13-3 is bad luck:eek:

:D

**BigMeatballDave** · 06-24-2001, 09:22 PM

4-12?! The 3 stooges are gone, along with Dumbther. It can only get better.

nickman · 06-24-2001, 09:40 PM

It makes sense why we are picked so poorly by everyone. I hope they are wrong. They feel that Seattle and San Diego improved greatly, Denver seems to have reloaded and Oakland has remained the same. Where we have added Green at the expense of Grbac and a number 1 choice, he did throw for 4000 yards and had a decent year.

For me the hope is that after watching Gunther coach the last two years, that we have better talent than was shown under psycho coaching. That Vermiel is a big addition and will bring it out.

philfree · 06-24-2001, 10:53 PM

The Chargers went 1-15 last year and this idiot thinks they'll go 9-7 this year. Gimmie a break! We will improve at least one win over last year. Can't wait for the season to start I've come up with season tickets again this year and my pulse is starting to quicken as I post.

JOhn,
That used to be the case, but recently, the Sporting News has been on target. They correctly picked the Chiefs to finish 7-9 in '98 and 7-9 last year. In 1999 they picked KC to finish 8-8. Thay nailed it in 2 out of 3 years and only missed it by 1 in the other. Meanwhile, we all say that "every time the Chiefs are picked to do poorly, they do good." That's simply not the case anymore. The Chiefs have not done too well the past few years, just like all the media predicted. This year I don't think they'll win more than 6 games. :confused:

DaWolf · 06-25-2001, 10:14 AM

I don't think Vinnie was the one doing the picking those years...

ck_IN · 06-25-2001, 10:29 AM

He has some of the numbers right, just the wrong teams associated.

I'd say something like:

Denver 13-3
Oakland 10-6/11-5
Seattle 9-7
Chiefs 6-10
SD 5-11

RaiderCorporate · 06-25-2001, 02:08 PM

Based on what happened last season and what has been done so far, I agree with the general opinion cheeves will finish at 8-8.

Large question marks about running backs and O line ability to run block.

Defensively there is great change pending but likely no improvement. I think Robinson as defensive coordinator is a mistake.

The greatest offseason improvement was Vermeil, and maybe Green.

This will probably be an ugly season for cheeves fans.

**The Bad Guy** · 06-25-2001, 04:28 PM

Chuck,

I'd be interested to hear your reasoning why you predict a 5-11 season for KC, but yet you predict a 9-7 record for the Seahawks who currently have a QB who has never made a start in a regular season game in the NFL. Nor do they have anyone for him to throw the ball to.

Their defense hasn't improved that much. They have an aging John Randle in the middle, and a monster in Kirkland, but I don't think he is near the player he used to be.

I think 9-7 is a reach for Seattle, but I'd like to know your opinion on it.

Raider,

If Robinson is a mistake, then why has Gannon only been able to win one game against the teams he is a defensive coordinator for?

The only time Rich beat Greg was back in 1997 on a 54 yarder from Stoyo.
