7-3 with 6 to go. How do we finish?

[Chief Roundup]

Well we are 7-3 with 6 games to go 3 of which are at home and 3 on the road along with 4 games within the Division two of which are against the Donkos.

Remaining schedule:
@Donkos
@Falcons
Raiders
Titans
Donkos
@Chargers

Our fate is still very much within our own hands.
This team has shown so much inner strength and determination that it is hard to doubt that they will not win a few to several of those games just based upon what we have seen them pull out of their asses when it wasn't truly earned.
It is hard to imagine that we don't end up at least 10-6, but I will not be surprised if the offensive ineptitude ends up breaking the hearts and souls of those on defense.

Our only hope is that the offense finds its way.
Would not be surprised if we don't lose most of our remaining games either. This team is Jekyle and Hyde at times.

Anyway how do you all think this team finishes out its season?

[alpha_omega]

7-9 if we don't get it together.

[Sandy Vagina]

@Donkos ---------- W
@Falcons ---------- L
Raiders ------------ W

11-5

10-6

[MeatRock]

It's about to get rough i am afraid. The offense has got to be more prolific. Defense needs to pick it up a bit in the pass rush department.

[Bwana]

10-6

I'll go with this.

[petegz28]

11-5 at best
10-6 at worst

[Chief Roundup]

@Donkos ---------- W
@Falcons ---------- L

11-5

That is wishful thinking, although I like it I am very doubtful that we sweep the Donkos.
I am thinking 10-6 or 9-7 at best.

[MeatRock]

10-6.

[oaklandhater]

10-6 bounced out of the playoffs with an embarrassing offensive showing in the 1st round with all the alex ball washers blaming the d after the game

Purgatory.

@Broncos L
@Falcons L
Raiders W

@Chargers L (costs you the division)

10-6 Wildcard

[Bugeater]

Yeah 10-6. Donks will luck and cheat their way to 2 wins and Falcons will probably beat us too. Could see us Chuefing up another game as well.

[Red Dawg]

9-7 no playoffs.

[New World Order]

That's a pretty tough remaining schedule.

[Sandy Vagina]

That is wishful thinking, although I like it I am very doubtful that we sweep the Donkos.

Yeah, sure is.

I am going off of the wild prediction that key players get and stay healthy.. Houston gets back to his old self.. and the Chiefs are as mentally tough as I think they are.

This team is capable. May as well stay positive. It doesn't cost anything, and is preferable to living the doom-n-gloom.

[dannybcaitlyn]

9-7

[WilliamTheIrish]

9-7/10-6. Which, in this league means you're the same as 7-9/6-10

Lose on the road in round one.

[GloryDayz]

I'm thinking 9-7, but 8-8 isn't out of the question because of the A&A factor.

[Mile High Mania]

I think the Raiders win the division... Denver enters as #5 and KC as #6 seeds. What their records look like? Who knows, likely 10-6 tied.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Depending on how Houston performs, it's crazy to think we could capture the 2nd seed with an 11-5 record...

If we are healthy (Maclin and Houston most importantly) nobody in the AFC including the Pats would want to face us.

Cowboys are going to be hard to dethrone tho... Dak and Ezekiel make the greatest rookie combo this league has ever seen.

[Chief Roundup]

Wondering what happens if we end up 7-9 or 8-8.......

[TEX]

Sticking with my 10-6 preseason prediction.

[Why Not?]

Does it really matter what our record ends up? We all know what the ceiling is for an Alex Smith led, Andy Reid managed team.

[Bugeater]

You'll see homers like Tigger and Pugs use the injury excuse.

Shit. The Chiefs would probably be one of the easier games in the playoffs. Houston and Pittsburg thoroughly dismantled this team.

[Beef Supreme]

They could very well lose out if this offense can't figure out how to play fucking football.

[Bugeater]

Probably the same thing. That's not bad enough to justify blowing everything up.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

So we have one blowout loss and two other losses handed to us by teams in playoff contention.

Trying to understand the overreaction on CP when our team is playing on one leg yet sits at 7-3

A team cannot count on turnovers. Our Offense has looked inept constantly. We have not had more than one dominant looking drive on offense in one game let alone one is several games or several in one game or preferable, several in several games.

Carolina was #1 in turnover differential last season and coasted into the SB.

New England's total offense was ranked #11 in 2014 but they won the Superbowl with a turnover differential that was ranked #2

Seattle was ranked #1 in 2013 (wins SB) and ranked #3 in 2014 in turnover differential (another SB appearance)

So people hating on Smith for being risk adverse and undervaluing ball protection are implying they know more than Jimmy Johnson who said bad plays have more impact than the good plays. We currently sit at #1 in turnover differential, I hope the trend continues and if it does we'll easily get a playoff spot.

Facts are facts, defense wins championships and it's up to the offense to be decent and not **** it up.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Hint: The offense isn't decent.

[Red Dawg]

We're going to finish 6-10.

That would be some decent draft status and it would be the same as making the playoffs. We still would not be champs.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Look, until we start generating some consistent fucking offense, we are going to luck our way to some wins, and get killed in the playoffs. This is on Alex and Andy...figure your shit out for fucks sake. We have "all the weapons we need" to get this shit done. GET IT DONE YOU FUCKIN PANTYWASTES! I'm so pissed at how inept our offense has been. You cant' keep putting pressure on this defense. Alex is where it starts and he better figure this shit out! FUCK!!

And when those turnovers went away they have not been all that. Point is that you don't know when that well will go dry.
Carolina did not win the SB and where are they this year? The Saints won with a shit D that got turnovers but when that well went dry...well they haven't won shit since. If it was easy to make turnovers happen constantly consistently then teams would be able to rely on that stuff and repeat it season after season. It is just not the case.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

You left out the Broncos who won SB50 by forcing turnovers in every playoff victory. That said it is really hard to count on getting a turnover to win a game.

You're right. And that 7-2 record provided some time for Smith abd the Offense to figure it out. At 7-3 now, with road trips to Denver abd Atl looming, they're running out of time.

[GloryDayz]

I'm just increasing my anger level with constant excuses from 1 Arrowhead Way... It's always about patience with these assholes.

With the remaining games I see us winning only 2 maybe 3 the rest of the way. Only Titans, if we play like we did today (against the Bucs).

[Red Dawg]

Denver is a long shot win that probably won't happen. Falcons is the same. We've shown the ability to beat the Raiders and can again. Titans are a team that has what we don't want to see with a strong ground game and a young QB that can run. I have no faith we will beat them nor can we really think we will beat Denver. SD we can beat again.

I see two more wins but we have lucked out a ton the last two years so make it three wins max unless the offense suddenly comes alive and Smith starts playing better than rookies in this league.

The way I see this possibly playing-out is that just enough players and coaches sense the city's frustration with their inept play yesterday, they'll go to Denver (where the low oxygen would doom them anyway) and try really really hard and adding to the injury tally in a quality loss. Then they take their even-more-hobbled selves into the ATL and, in desperate hopes of getting some respect, will again add to the injury tally, and again gain a respectable loss.

I don't know, maybe they go into both Denver and the ATL and kick their ever-loving asses...

This is why you have to win the games you're supposed to win.

Dam you Andy! It's your job to have every player who's physically able to play, readyto play. They weren't ready to play!

[Mile High Mania]

Raiders, Chiefs and Broncos each have tough competition in the final stretch.

Neither of them has an easy path to the playoffs. But, there is no room for error. Sevreral dangerous teams in the AFC at 5 and 6 wins right now, slippage from 2 of the 3 at the top of the AFCW opens a door for the others.

KC has two tough road games @ Broncos and @ Falcons, followed up by what will be a welcome 3 game home stretch, but the Raiders will be tough... Titans have proven they're legit on offense and then you have the Broncos. Season ending road game vs the Chargers.

It's a tough road, but no tougher than what Denver has or even Oakland. Should be a good race with many tense moments.

[wazu]

9-7, no playoffs.

[Stryker]

9-7, no playoffs.

This. No way we win in Denver and Atlanta. Oakland and Tennessee after that. Yeah, we are done.

[duncan_idaho]

Boy, that's a tough close to the season.

Tough road games, tough inter-division matchups, even the "weak" teams on the schedule can offer tough matchups (Tenn and at SAN Diego).

I think they'll be fortunate to finish 3-3 unless the defense gets completely healthy in a hurry or Alex Smith flips that magic switch we've been waiting three years for him to flip.

And even with that, 10-6 and a road playoff game against Pittsburgh or Oakland or Denver looks like another year out after one game.

But that's not surprising. 10-6 with a first round playoff loss is clearly more important to this ownership group than taking the shots necessary to build a real SB team.

I don't know, but I'm thinking it's been a few decades since civic pride was any kind of factor in how these guys perform at work.

[TEX]

I picked them to finish 10-6 at the start of the season, and I'm sticking with it... Reason being, since Reid has gotten here it's been 1 step forward, 1 step backwards the following season. They're not able to build on the previous year. It doesn't seem to matter who or what they add. I figured this season would be no different. So, 10-6, a WC birth (maybe) and loss in 1st round if they get in. We'll see...

[scho63]

11-5 or 12-4 if we fix the shit and get healthy

9-7 if we stay at this level

[gold_and_red]

This team may have won 10 straight in Arrowhead but a lot of them were heart stoppers. Our road wins seem to be more convincing. Being a WC may not be the worst predicament if our first two games somehow end up being @Hou and @Oak/Den.
But first we have to win one of @Den/@Atl. Otherwise I have a bad feeling we might miss the playoffs or will be desperate for another team to choke in week 17.

Im reminded of the 2006 playoff team where Herm managed to back into a playoff spot through a series of tiebreakers. Ty Law intercepted the ball and took it to the Indy one. KC failed to score on the subsequent possession. KC didnt get a first down until 8mins left in the 3rd quarter.
