If Denver loses Sunday night, try doing the same exercise for them. As for your hypothetical, I'll take it. There is no way, under any circumstance, we want to go 13-3 and host a playoff game. NO WAY. |

The Colts ****ing suck. They don't have a running game, they lost their best receiver in Reggie Wayne and their defense is led by a 32 year old that's slowing down. They were just pistol whipped at home by the Rams. If the Chiefs lose that game, at Arrowhead, they have no business in the playoffs. And the Redskins? LMAO Either you're beat down from years of being a Chiefs fan or you're not watching any other team other than the Chiefs. There is no ****ing way I can look at either of those games and even believe there's a 5% chance of a loss. |

The only way the Chiefs lose at San Diego on December 29th is because Reid is resting his starters for the playoffs. By that point, San Diego will have packed it in because they won't make the playoffs. The weather will be nice, the fans will be out of town for the holidays or hosting family members, blah, blah, blah. Either way, if the Chiefs lose to San Diego, it won't mean anything at that point. |

Now, I don't think there's anything "fluke-y" about the 9-0 start, but I also don't believe the blueprint they've used is one that can be sustained or relied upon through 16 games. If this team is going to win more than 13 games, it will require a marked improvement on offense. And I don't have a reason, at this point, to believe that's going to happen. In fact, if things stay the way that they've been, I think there's actually a real, albeit unlikely, possibility that they finish 12-4 or even 11-5. |
As long as they don't finish 13-3, I'm good.

Denver clearly has the most pressure on them in this game. It isn't even be a debate.

The Chiefs won't go undefeated but with their defense, they won't need to suddenly score 30 a game to win. Quote:

If the Chiefs win in Denver Sunday, it's hard to see them NOT winning the division.
But if they don't... I could see 2 and possibly 3 more losses from this group: Home vs. Denver Indy @Washington @San Diego Indy's spirit might be crushed... Tavon Austin pretty much beat them single-handedly on Sunday. Not counting on that just yet, though. |

You clearly haven't seen any of those teams play this season, especially the Colts since they beat the Broncos. Washington is 3-6. They're awful. I've already explained the San Diego game. |

Even if the Chiefs lose Sunday, they'll send Peyton Manning to New England in worse shape than he is currently, then will have to face the Chiefs and the Arrowhead crowd the following week. At his age, I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss a game before the season's over. |

I don't think they'll need 30 points a game. I do think they'll need an offense that's actually consistently contributing to the team's time of possession, that isn't leaving big plays on the field every week, and isn't trying to cover a wholesale ineffectiveness under the cloak of "winning field position". What I'm saying is that the offense, at some point, is going to have to contribute to some of these wins. That doesn't mean scoring thirty points. Although it may occasionally mean scoring 23 or 24 or even 27. Gasp. So many points. If they don't, if things stay as they have been, I think it's pretty likely that they lose some games that you and I both think they should win. Hell, that's without even considering the possibility of the defense having an off week. |

Dontari Poe had a good game against Dallas' starting quarterback. Hali sacked Eli twice. I don't know if Denver's OL is ranked very high. I just have a feeling Hali and Poe are going to have big days, and Poe will send Peyton to the bench.
Is Jacksonville's defense any good? Peyton had a tough day against them. He completed three passes to Washington's defense, and doesn't seem to be "risk-adverse." Hali and Poe can make things difficult even if they aren't getting their hands on him. Peyton doesn't seem to play well rattled. I hope at some point his focus on getting the refs lined out causes some problems, as well. As far as our offense goes, it would be great if this is the coming out party for all the stuff Andy has "kept under wraps", but I think it will be more like our OL finally plays up to the level of 5 Mini-Ditkas, allowing the offense to contribute just enough to help us to go 1-0 this week. I have no idea what the final score will be. Peyton is kinda like two touchdowns just by showin up. Our D seems to turn likely TDs into field goals and INTs to Pick6s. Our O is not arena type. Succop is money. Chiefs win 23-17? (I know, that's why I never make predictions.) Dinny |
