Chiefs have the spotlight for the next 6 weeks

MNF vs WAS
SNF @ Houston
Lead late game vs PIT
TNF @ OAK
MNF vs DEN
Lead late game @ Dallas

Time to see what we've got. These are going to be some intense games.

[JakeF]

Our offense better show up.

[Hoover]

Going to be fun.

I'm going to the Oakland game. We better kick their ass. My brother is a Raider season tix holder.


Not an easy road for Oakland and Denver who both lost today, and play each other in Denver next week.

[Simply Red]

I have hesitated saying this all night - but anyone else wonder if T Hill is 100% healthy? I was scared i'd get shelled by saying that - but it seems he's slowed a few steps. Honestly what everyone says about SD I mean LA is true, they're VERY talented w/o a nose for closing.

[wazu]

Time for Mahomes.

[RunKC]

We got ****ed by the schedule makers. Playing our toughest game in the late slot, then playing a game in Oakland halfway across the country 4 days later?

****

No.

He's fine, they are just giving him routes other than "go deep"

Lol. One awkward week means we got ****ed? Every team has it happen on occasion.

[RealSNR]

Washington will be tough. I think we can do it, though. MNF at home.

Houston and Dallas are the games I'm most afraid of (shorter week by one day, have to go on the road in each game).

We're not going undefeated, so there will be some losses in that stretch. 4-2 or 3-3 will be good enough, though.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Outside of that one terrible week (keep in Mind we hosted oakland on a short week last year) we have one of the more favorable schedules of the year in terms of timing between games.

[Simply Red]

No.

Yeah but San Diego - I mean LA were pretty stout in coverage, I was surprised. Truly a better team than that 0-3 record, no doubt there.

The Dallas rookies have clearly hit a sophomore slump and their defense is garbage.

The defense picked off Rivers three times today. They won't lose to fucking DeShaun Watson.

San Diego is poorly coached and couldn't take advantage of field position or the Chiefs mistakes.

The Chiefs played like shit for the better part of 3 quarters and still won by two touchdowns on the road.

San Diego fucking sucks.

If we were a garbage team, the Steeler game would be a noon kickoff

Enjoy it

[Nickhead]

this is really going to fuck with my work schedule :D

[Simply Red]

One good thing - as silly as it sounds is - we'll get that one more day of rest going into week four - certainly doesn't hurt.

[Oh Snap]

Slightly cocnerned about the OL. We need to stay healthy there.

[RINGLEADER]

No.

He's fine, they are just giving him routes other than "go deep"

Being at the game I watched him a couple times and a couple of times he was visibly gimpy after a deep route. He didn't seek assistance and no one came to his aid so maybe he just walks like that after a long route but it was noticeable.

[DaneMcCloud]

Stay healthy?

They're missing their starting left guard and starting center.

For the better part of the day, Witzmann and Fulton were liabilities.

I need someone to explain to me how Fulton is better than Devey because I'm not seeing it.

[DaneMcCloud]

He was definitely banged up, hence the reliance on Wilson and DAT.

DAT was knocked out of the game, too, IIRC.

[kcxiv]

sheesh, so glad i saved money by not getting sunday ticket this year, im going to be able to watch the first 8 games. lol

[CupidStunt]

3-3 would be fine (that's 6-3 with a much easier schedule coming up).

4-2 would be sweet.

The Raiders and Cowboys games will be especially tough, short weeks on the road against top teams. Beating Pittsburgh would be nice for a change. The weird thing about that game is we will still have no idea what kind of team they are regardless of their record coming in. They will have played the Browns, Case Keenum, the Bears, Ravens and Jags. Not a single game vs a contender to give us any kind of barometer. Allegedly they always play down to their opponent -- or maybe they're just not so good this year. Big Ben looks every bit like a guy who seriously considered retirement.

[New World Order]

Bet that Dallas game gets flexed to SNF

The way we are playing I would be surprised if we only went 3-3. 4-2 or even 5-1 is what I would expect based on a team that has won 25 of the last 29 regular season games.

I'd expect to win all the home games plus 1 or 2 of the road games.

[Simply Red]

Little early - but you may be right.

[tatorhog]

Was it on the play when he lowered his head into the LB, like he was going to truck the bigger guy? He looked goofy like his bell was rung going to the sideline.

Crazy as it may seem but I think we can beat Pittsburgh and I really believe we have a shot at Dallas. The Denver and Oakland games are the ones that concern me. I still think you are right 4 - 2.

Did you see the Faders this weekend- they looked soft as marshmallows.

Carr gets jittery with the slightest of pressure. He quit on his team last game.

It seems like we have Oakland on Thursday a lot.
Like after the GB game a few years ago. then lost to Oak because there was nothing left in the tank. I hate oakland

Pittsburgh lost to the fucking Bears. The teams that worry me are Washington and Houston on the road.

[The Franchise]

I think we lose to the Redskins.

[O.city]

I'm calling losses at Houston and Oakland

The Dallas game is a tough one too

[Rain Man]

I think we lose to the Redskins.

I only saw about half of the game last night, but they looked pretty good. Of course, they were facing the Raiders' defense and not the Chiefs', so that may make a big difference.

[KC_Lee]

Pittsburgh lost to the ****ing Bears. The teams that worry me are Washington and Houston on the road.

P-Burgh always plays us tough.

[Simply Red]

negged!

[MahiMike]

Well show me a tougher schedule the next 6 weeks.

[Halfcan]

I think we win against the Redskins.

fyp

[Bewbies]

The only reason Oakland leans toward loss is cause it's a bullshit Thursday night game. And even then Carr is already shitting his pants knowing he's got our defense coming to town.

[Beef Supreme]

19-0

[Gravedigger]

I see two to three losses in there. It's a brutal stretch, regardless of home vs away games. If we end up 7-2 after that, I'll be happy, if we're 6-3 or less it means someone figured Reid's game out or heaven forbid, injury.

[gold_and_red]

Any team with a good pass rush is worrisome at this point.

[jjchieffan]

Bet that Dallas game gets flexed to SNF

I don't think that they flex games that early in the season. But, if they did, that would be bad for the Chiefs. They are already on a short week with a Thursday night road game to Chokeland. A Sunday night game would be horrible at that point. One other thing. There is a maximum on prime time games for teams. I'm not sure that we are even eligible for any more prime time games this year.

I found this on flex scheduling. Apparently, 2 games can be flexed in weeks 5-10.

In 2006 the NFL implemented a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. In 2014 that was extended so that games between Weeks 5 and 17 could be affected by flex scheduling. However, only two games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Week 5 and 10.

[KChiefs1]

MNF at Arrowhead twice. Yes!

[Buehler445]

Fuck Donk Forever.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We kicked Brady bunches ass, we can beat all the teams on our schedule unless we insert our head in our ass. Why would anybody predict a loss.

I wish all of our games were at noon.

Actually, 2 games are able to be flexed between weeks 5 and 10. I posted that rule earlier today.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

All these will be tough, but Chiefs won't fall til Dallas. Jazzed Cowboys and raucous house take down the 8-0 Chiefs.

Redskins: narrow, physical win.
Houston: similar to Chargers game. Grind, win by capitalizing on mistakes.
Pitt: Raucous Arrowhead, revenge, out of sync Steelers O, Smith recalls an entire offseason of sh*t talk, 10+ win.
Oak: Come on, really? Fearing a team and coach that Reid and Sutton flat-out own?
Den: Primetime. Deafening roar. Siemian visibly shaking from recurring nightmares of 50. 2 TD margin.

[Best22]

The two 3:25 starts probably won't be flexed

Only game i can see is our home game vs Oakland flexed to 3:25, and our game at Denver flexed to SNF if the division is on the line

[jjchieffan]

The max is 6 prime time games right? And we already have 6. I don't think flexing the Chiefs into a Sunday night game is an option. Also, I didn't realize that the Chiefs are the only team in the league with 6 prime time games this year.

[Simply Red]

what are 'lead late games?'

[Discuss Thrower]

4:25 Eastern time starts on either FOX or CBS.

One reason for the BlackOps of the world to think that we may have a shot at the SB this year. The league is highlighting us for a reason! :D

The national game that goes to everyone without a regional 3pm game. Joe Buck announcing, I believe.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

At Dallas should be a CBS game. Romo is really good.

[KChiefs1]

MNF vs WAS - ESPN

SNF @ Houston - NBC

Lead late game vs PIT - CBS

TNF @ OAK - CBS/NFLN

MNF vs DEN - ESPN

Lead late game @ Dallas - CBS



Philly will be our only game on FOX.

We should get Romo for the Pittsburgh, Oakland & Dallas games.
