Will the Chiefs win a playoff game?

[Start Croyle]

After the loss yesterday, KC is now in 2nd place in the division. It's conceivable that they will stay in 2nd for the remainder of the season, which would mean playing in a wild-card spot in the first week of the playoffs.

How would it make you feel if the Chiefs had another first round playoff exit?

[Three7s]

No different than usual, since that's what we typically get.

[rabblerouser]

not without scoring more than 17 points...

[FlaChief58]

While it would suck, making the playoffs in year 1 of a rebuild after going 2-14 is ok considering most here had them going 8-8 (myself included). That said, I'm not giving up on the season. We still can win the division and get homefield throughout and if that happens, I like our chances in the playoffs

[Sandy Vagina]

At least they will have the chance to find out... unlike 10 other AFC teams who will dejectedly watch from their couches.

[Bugeater]

Not a chance.

[KCUnited]

If there was ever a year to get it done, it's this one. The AFC sucks.

[Three7s]

Only team the Chiefs could POSSIBLY beat on the road is the Bengals. All the others? No way.

[el borracho]

:shrug: Who knows? The Chiefs offense doesn't contribute much, but the Chiefs defense is for real.

[PA Chiefs]

Defense travels well in the playoffs. So we still have a chance either way. We have a team that is set up for playoff football strong defense, solid special teams, and no mistake offense.

[Strongside]

Yes.

[Eleazar]

We have as good of a chance as any year, since we'll probably be hosting the wild card game.

I mean, right now that would be the Jets or the Dolphins. You're telling me there is zero chance we could beat either of those teams at home? Come on.

[Scorp]

No

[keg in kc]

Not without return scores.

[mcaj22]

we have been rebuilding since 2008. It's not year 1, it is year 5. A lot of these guys are 3,4,5,6 years in the league now and their prime is NOW, not in a 4 year rebuild.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

we arent hosting any wild card game, we will be the 5 seed going to either the colts or the bengals

wild card teams dont play at home. we would be playing the 4th division winner,

so the Bengals or the Colts. While the Jets or Dolphins play there other. There is no possible way we play the Jets or Dolphins unless we A) win our division or B) if are a wildcard see them in the AFCC game.

we would be playing on the road if we finish 2nd in our division against Dalton or Luck.

[R8RFAN]

You can't win it unless you are in it...

[Dayze]

no.
if the didn't before, opponents have a blueprint on how to stop the Chiefs offense.
which, as most here already were aware, is stopping Charles, and forcing Alex to beat you.

[Predarat]

If they win the Division, there is a good chance they would be hosting the donks for the first playoff game. If they get the wild card they will probably be playing in Cincy. Either way is going to be a tough game.

[ChiefsSuckBalls]

Chiefs for Super Bowl! Lock it up.

[FlaChief58]

we have been rebuilding since 2008. It's not year 1, it is year 5. A lot of these guys are 3,4,5,6 years in the league now and their prime is NOW, not in a 4 year rebuild.

We have 32 new players on the team. If that's not rebuilding, then what is?

[Wallcrawler]

Offense needs to get going, or no way in hell this team wins in the playoffs.

You will see a great defense get squandered at the hands of a conservative, terrified, and completely inept offensive unit.

Get that Kyle Williams kid in there and see what he's got, if anything. He certainly wont drop any more passes than our current starters do, and this kid at least has the speed to get separation.

Let Childress take over the playcalling. Andy has had 10 games, and the offense has sucked in every single one of them.

[whoman69]

Wild card spot is by no means assured. If they do, I don't see this team winning a playoff game on the road.

[R8RFAN]

As for the Chiefs? One play from Sunday night sums up the Chiefs. Kansas City had the ball at the Denver 41 with 10 minutes to play on 4th and 7, trailing by 14.

And the Chiefs punted. They punted.

Not doing that kind of shit

[FloridaMan88]

If the playoffs started today, the Chiefs would play at Cincinnati in the Wild Card round... anyone see this offense being able to cross midfield against Cincy's defense?

I don't.

[Dayze]

no; they would not win a playoff game as the offense stands today.

The offense is fine in a 10pt or less disparity, and while playing mistake free football.
The margin of error with this offense is very narrow.
The defense can virtually win a game on its' own, but without some evidence of an offense......they're not winningn shit in the playoffs.

[Omaha]

Only team the Chiefs could POSSIBLY beat on the road is the Bengals. All the others? No way.

My guess is that KC would play New England or Indy if they remain in second place. Both teams are beatable.

[mcaj22]

We have 32 new players on the team. If that's not rebuilding, then what is?

and the best players on the team are still the guys that have been here and are not part of that 32. we have been wasting their primes up until this year

it's a win NOW team, hence the two 2nd round picks for a 30 year old QB. you can't just shrug your shoulders and say "not bad for a year 1 rebuild". Rebuilding teams dont trade for a retread QB.

[GloryDayz]

I'll opine with a "no" to winning a playoff game.

[Prison Bitch]

You don't know how the playoffs work do you? We won't host jack squat

[TEX]

Well when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, they did it as a WC team. Just saying...

[B_Razz]

they playoff system does need to change. I'm surprised it hasn't already.

[Molitoth]

Will the Chiefs win a playoff game?

With Denver most likely getting the Home game as a #1 seed and the Chiefs having to get in as a #5 seed... I don't see them winning on the road against another playoff worthy opponent. Not unless Andy Reid actually makes some adjustments on offense, and since he has ignored it for 11 weeks, I don't see him making any changes this season.

[MOhillbilly]

Fuck no. Same old chiefs can't and won't get it done on the big stage.

Defense could've held the Broncos to 20 or less last night if not for a few missteps. Don't see any reason why we wont beat them here,and why we cant beat any other team in the league. If our offense can muster a measly 2 touchdowns a game or one touchdown and a few field goals,theres no team we cant contend with.

There is the big problem. It's difficult for this offense to score a "measly" 2 touchdowns, even with first and goal from within the 5 yard line.

Congratulations on giving up 16 more points than your average while not touching the opposing QB once! That average couldn't have had anything to do with you playing against marginal backups on bad teams! You're the best in the NFL!

Oh really? Can't seem to remember the Broncos playing the Bills, Brown, or Texans and their merry band of 2nd/3rd string QBs.

Consolation Bracket?

If the offense can get the act together, the absolutely can.

but if they continue to be able to only muster 10-14pts a game, no way.

[FishingRod]

St Louis beat the colts like a rented donkey just a week ago. The Chiefs are better than St Louis and the Colts beat Denver. So of course the Chiefs can win a playoff game, They could the Super bowl. Having said all that, Cincinnati is a very similar team to the Chiefs with a defense that is also very very good, decent running backs and better wide receivers. Giving the Chiefs any better than a even shot on the Road in Cincinnati might be a little over confident.

[Prison Bitch]

In the playoffs, we scored 10 points in 1995, and 10 points again in 1997. Both years people had questions about our offense, and both years we proved it in the playoffs. I see the same fate.

Well, I finally found a Prison Bitch post I can agree with. (Probably cause this ain't DC...heh)

The next two weeks are big. If we can win the next 2 games at Arrowhead, I think there is a chance we break the drought. I'm holding out hope, but if we don't turn it up a bit on offense...we will be doomed.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I wouldn't call going 2 and 14 to making the Championship a consolation. I'd call it a hell of an improvement and the winning of at least 1 game..maybe 2 in the play-offs.

I guess you're right:

Considering the Tuel-led Bills out gained the Chiefs 470-210.

Not to mention the mythic Jason Campbell of the ultra-talented Cleveland Browns logging a 105 passer rating.

And lets not forget the fearsome talents of Case Keenum, who led the mighty 2-8 Houston Texans to within 1 point of a victory with a 110 passer rating against the vaunted Chiefs defense at Camarohead.

Actually this isn't too surprising that this is the position you would take. After all Manning is the king of putting up huge stats with minimal results when it matters the most.

No.

If the other team can score three TD's, then probably not.

[Rausch]

Without home field I can't see us winning more than one...

[Hammock Parties]

My guess is we go on the road and get pounded by a division winner.

After reflecting on it I see no reason this team won't get swept by Denver and that means no division title.

This team is OK but they are nowhere close to the 2000 Ravens or 2002 Bucs which is what they need to be to win playoff games.

This is why I haven't really been excited about being 9-0 all year. We're not that strong a team and will enter the offseason needing serious upgrades to stay in contention.

I guess we'll see if it pays dividends in the end. An offense that is full of failure on multiple levels, especially QB play doesn't seem like the winning formula anymore.

Home field is huge. If we can win the division, then we stand a much, much better chance. Can't drop any more division games. Just can't do it.

[Hammock Parties]

This team can beat Cin or Ind on the road.

Absolutely not.

They might keep it close against the Colts due to their lackluster offensive line, but Cincy would pound the Chiefs.

[Pablo]

This team can beat Cin or Ind on the road.And Cincy or Indy can beat this team at their place.

It's a 50/50 shot. Not guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination.

Either of those two at home and I feel much more confident.

I cannot fathom how anyone can be optimistic about this team's chances against winning teams after the last month and a half of games. Keenum's Texans lost by 1. Jason Campbell played a near perfect game. Jeff Tuel nearly had his way with the defense too. Manning was contained by the defense without a pass rush and they effectively had the game won by 17 points and could've easily hung more in the second half.

KC might have a snowball's chance in El Paso in the playoffs, and that's probably being generous.

Why cause the Chiefs lost by 10 in Denver? Every other team that went into Denver has lost by 16 or more. The Chiefs killed themselves last night and still only lost by 10.

[Coach]

Well, Denver has to play NE, so that's not going to be a gimmie for Denver.

If KC wins against Sandy Eggo (no easy task) and Denver loses against NE, then KC is back at the top of the AFC West, with the Denver game following up.

So I think the next two weeks will be very interesting....

Cinci, Colts, perhaps even the Pats...

Luck is good, but he's no Peyton.

Cincy is a match-up I don't like and New England is a bit up in the air.

[mr. tegu]

There is no reason to fear either the Bengals or Colts. These teams have both lost to the types of teams that the Chiefs get criticized for beating.

[Red Dawg]

At home this team has a shot to beat anyone. Both teams will be going through it's most critical point the next two games. Denver must win it's next two and so do we. If we do then I think we can finish even with them or ahead and take the division. They lose to NE and then to us and we are kings. We may lose at home in playoff game but Denver as a WC would get them put out of the SB race as well. Manning would quit and we could roll next year.

It's not like this is the only game that they've consistently blown offensive series and had terrible play from the QB, WR's and OL.

Where were you before the game, cock-gobbler?

And they've also both beaten good teams.

I don't think either team is world-beaters, but they can be good enough at their place to give us trouble and beat us.

Colts don't look the same without Wayne. Cincy hasn't beat anyone good since they lost Gene Atkins.

Of course they can. Any playoff team can pretty much beat any of the others. But they aren't the types of team we should fear or expect to lose to.

[Prison Bitch]

Well they did just blow out Cleveland at home, whereas we struggled to beat them.

[Pablo]

Colts don't look the same without Wayne. Cincy hasn't beat anyone good since they lost Gene Atkins.So, this means we're pretty much locks to beat them?

Have you watched this team eek out wins and the defense save our pathetic offense for the last month plus?

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Well they did just blow out Cleveland at home, whereas we struggled to beat them.

2 Block punts 1 for a TD other went for a short TD for the O. Fumble for a TD. It's OK for other teams to blow people out like this but not us? Remember Chiefs beat the Giants 31-7

Not a lock at all but for Clay to say the Chiefs don't have a shot is just crazy talk.

[Marcellus]

Yea, how many points did their offense score? Those are the only ones that count.

[Pablo]

This team doesn't look as good as it did two months ago on either side of the ball. Offense in particular.

[Pablo]

Not a lock at all but for Clay to say the Chiefs don't have a shot is just crazy talk.Clay is perpetually trolling. It's your own fault for getting caught up in that.

They most definitely have a shot against Cincy and Indy, but I won't be fist pumping if we have to play them at their place.

At home, things could turn out very nicely.

[mr. tegu]

Well they did just blow out Cleveland at home, whereas we struggled to beat them.

This is completely negated by the fact that they lost to Cleveland this year.

[ThaVirus]

Indy has a shoddy offensive line and they're missing Reggie Wayne. Not to mention they're trotting out Trent Richardson more often than not. They do have speed on the outsides with Heyward-Bey and Hilton though..

Luck isn't afraid to stand in the pocket while waiting on plays to develop, so that, coupled with their shit offensive line, could be a recipe for some great success for our defense.

I'd absolutely feel the best going up against them at this point in time. After that, Cinci and NE are close but I'd have to say I'd rather see Cinci. Cinci has, by far, more talent at most positions but they're missing some stars on defense and Dalton is just spotty. If we got trash Andy, we could come away with 3+ INTs.

[AussieChiefsFan]

If we end up with the five seed, I think we get a playoff win. We would likely be going up against a team like Baltimore, Pittsburgh, or even New York.

Even though Tom Terrific hasn't been the post season destroyer of worlds he was in the past; I'd still rather face Cincy.

[durtyrute]

Not with the way the offense is playing.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Ah, right.

Still winnable IMO, just not as much as a game vs the Steelers.

[TEX]

You're thinking about the old playoff format. In the new one, the Chiefs at # 5 would be on the road against the # 4 seed (The Natti or The Colts).

[HemiEd]

:shrug: Who knows? The Chiefs offense doesn't contribute much, but the Chiefs defense is for real.

Yeah the real problem yesterday, which everyone is avoiding, is the fact the defense didn't score.

The Buffalo win was due to the fact that the Chiefs D outscored the Bills offense. The Defense needs to get at least one score per game, no more screwing around.

[TribalElder]

Dude, did you see our offense

Our defense could have played offense better than our offense last night ROFL

[Start Croyle]

I guess I am just scared of a repeat of 2003. Such a strong start, but then that loss to the Bengals was a really pivotal moment. It took the wind out of the Chiefs' sails and they kind of stumbled into the postseason, then lost the playoff game. It set the stage for nine years of mediocrity. Week 11 of 2003 was the last time the Chiefs were great.

I just don't want a repeat of that.

[New World Order]

If we don't win the division we will get matched up with someone like Cincy or Indy at their house. Then again if we win the division we will play someone like Denver.

So no.

It's coming.

[HolyHat]

After the loss yesterday, KC is now in 2nd place in the division. It's conceivable that they will stay in 2nd for the remainder of the season, which would mean playing in a wild-card spot in the first week of the playoffs.

How would it make you feel if the Chiefs had another first round playoff exit?

We will solve all of our problems in the 2nd round of the draft next year. No worries, you guys.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Our offense dry humps defenses. We couldn't score much on one of the worst defenses in the league last night. No.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Absolutely not.

They might keep it close against the Colts due to their lackluster offensive line, but Cincy would pound the Chiefs.

Have you watched Andy Dalton in the last few weeks? Did you know the Bengals have lost to the Dolphins, Ravens, and Browns this year? Wake up, man.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Dalton and his cool 98 yards passing yesterday for the win.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

There is no reason to fear either the Bengals or Colts. These teams have both lost to the types of teams that the Chiefs get criticized for beating.

ding ding ding

I cannot fathom how anyone who has ever watched a football game could possibly think the Colts or Bengals are unbeatable.

[New World Order]

No one thinks Cincy or Indy is unbeatable. The problem is Cincy just matches up extremely well with us.

[Prison Bitch]

At home, this can happen. On the road, who knows.

Doubtful. While everyone knows how big home field is....consider: We have the same power rating the Bengals have. Home field is worth almost 4 points in the NFL this year (3.7 or so). If we play them in Cinci we'll be 4 point dogs. At home, the reverse. That's a TD difference. That's how big it is for a team like us who normally plays low scoring games anyway.


CAN we win playoff games? Sure. But it's way easier to do it when you're not spotting the opponent an effective TD at the onset of the game by going on the road.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

No one thinks Cincy or Indy is unbeatable.

Clay does.

[Hammock Parties]

Clay does.

This team struggles to beat bad teams.

Why would we beat good teams?

It's been a successful year one of the Reid era, be happy with that.

[New World Order]

On another note I seriously doubt we would of beaten phili if Foles had started.

We can beat good teams. I didn't come away from last nights game thinking "we probably won't beat Denver at home". I think we'll have a pretty good chance.

You may be right though.

As previously mentioned, Cincinnati struggles to beat bad teams as well (they've lost to the Browns, Dolphins, and Ravens and beaten the Thad Lewis-led Bills in overtime). Indianapolis struggles to beat bad teams as well (they've lost to the Rams, Dolphins, and Chargers and beaten the Raiders, Texans, and Titans by an average of 3.3 points).

This is the NFL. It's tough to win sometimes. No game is unwinnable, especially for a team with a defense as good as the Chiefs have.

[ciaomichael]

I do remember you playing Jax, Dallas, Oakland though.

Shrugs......

Not to mention the whole NFC East, just as we do. And the whole AFC South, just as we do. And the other teams in the AFC West twice, just as we do. In fact, there are only 2 opponents on the 16 game schedule that are based on "strength" as determined by last year's record. And, since Baltimore (one of your strength-based games) is hardly tearing it up, there's actually little difference in our schedules at all.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

10-0, BITCHES!

wait...

[Tanner21]

Dalton's 98 passing yards and yet the Bengals still managed to put up 41 points. I'd be scared to play the Bengals when Andy Dalton actually has a good day.

[Gravedigger]

It's going to be at Cincy or at Indy, I think we match up well against these two teams so yes. But, we better hope the 6 beats the 3 so we can go to New England because we're not going to fare better against the Donks than we would the Patriots.

[Hammock Parties]

Two teams with top 10 defenses.

How do the Chiefs match up with such a team?

Our QB would be helpless.

[OnTheWarpath15]

:LOL:

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together realizes that defenses are measured by the amount of points they surrender, not yardage.

There's not a football fan alive that thinks Houston is the best defense in the league, giving up 28 PPG.

Okay, well...

If the Chiefs win next week, it will set them back on course in a big way! Both losses were close. They can beat Denver.

[Bugeater]

We're not winning the division or a playoff game. All that talk needs to stop.

[Discuss Thrower]

There's always next year amirite

[Mama Hip Rockets]

If Houston and Hali are healthy, this team still has a great chance to win in the playoffs. Quit jumping ship in November, losers.

[Hammock Parties]

hope we don't face any 4-6 teams in the playoffs

they give us all we can handle

Shoot, 2-win teams give us trouble.

The good news is we only play one 4-6 team all year...

In their respective houses? Not a fucking chance....

[rabblerouser]

IF they're healthy...IF they have no more key injuries...IF the offense can continue it's upward trend of playing well...IF they can overcome the horrible offensive play-calling and oblivious gameclock management of the head coach...IF the offensive line will show improvement...

then yes, they could even win 2.

But not the 3 they would need to win as a wild-card.

That's too many "IF"s, and they haven't been able to put a COMPLETE game together yet this season, really...

[Three7s]

I think we could beat Cincy or maybe Indy
Nope, not likely. I thought we could before, but our DBs aren't near as good when going up against good QBs.
