Football AFCWest - Back to being dominant

Mile High Mania · 07-09-2010, 12:53 PM

So, we've all sat around for much of the last decade watching the teams of the AFCW disappoint us from a "consistently being competitive" point of view. Sure, we all like to see the other teams suck... but, really I enjoy it when each team is very competitive and the games are great.

Is 2010 the year that we'll finally see the four teams battling at .500 or greater, rather than 1 and maybe 2 teams only topping the .500 mark?

Right now, I'd have to say we're looking at another 2009 ... with the teams being slightly improved, but really only SD is a legit potential for 10 or more wins. The other three would love to be at .500 or 9 wins and even then, I'm not sure .500 or 9 wins means they're contending to win a playoff game.

How much longer do we have to wait for the AFCW as a whole to become dominant?

Im thinking the last place team (whomever it will be) is going to have 6 or 7 wins. Not great but an improvement over years past.

I'm thinking both Chiefs and Broncos are going to mediocre (but improved) and next year the new coaching staff, players, managers etc will begin to gel. Who knows with the Raiders as long as Al has something to say in team decisions. Poor guy is senile, stuck in 1980 and he doesn't know it.

Expecting about 7-9 or 8-8 for the Chiefs this year.

honestly, I dont think Al Davis has as much say as he has had in the past over the last couple years.

I thought the Turds had a remarkably good draft especially considering their 2009 class.
I’ll say the 3 also-rans will have 5 to 7 wins, (each as opposed to in total). The 4 NFC West games should help our overall division's record.

I have no idea what you just said.

I think the AFCW will go down like this:

Chiefs 16-0
Raiders 8-8
Chargers 6-10
Broncos 0-16
