I loved simulated engine failures while doing S-Turns. It kept my students on their toes. :fire:

You evil bastard.

The team hasn't improved one little bit from last year, in fact, it might even be worse at 8-8...

10-12 in their last 22

it's a flawed team that rearranged the deck chairs on the titanic during the offseason

Players lost:

Rodney Hudson
Dwayne Bowe

Players gained:

Maclin
Grubbs
Morse (I'm listing him because he will upgrade one of the line spots)
Devito
Peters (easily better than Owens, so he is an upgrade at minimum in nickel packages)
DJ
Branch
Fisher, Ford, Thomas, Gaines and Wilson with a full offseason.

Yeah, I'm sure we will be a bad football team.

#24? really?.

Truth is they are a perennial .500ish club give or a take a game or two.
Should be a solid #11- #16 FWIW.

Generally overlooked by the national media, and they are not a sexy pick so when ever these meaningless rankings are done they are always overlooked for lesser teams.

smart money says missed the playoffs last year so they are right on schedule for yet another respectable season 9-7, 10-6, complimented by a one and done playoff trip.

They won't be bad. But they are not close to being a legitimate contender. At best a wild card team, and a geriatric Peyton Manning will be more than enough to keep them down once again.

BTW, DJ and Devito are done, and Fisher and Ford are wastes of skin. Branch is nothing.

You are also putting a lot on the rookies.

So far not one rookie has really been a big contributor under Dorsey in his first season.

If Morse and Peters are Grunhard and Hasty out of the box, you might have something. I suspect both will be disappointing though. At least initially.

keg said it best: the Chiefs are in that middle pack of teams where a good bounce here and there is is the difference between 6-10 and 10-6.

They make the playoffs? Whoopie, they're still getting bounced in the first round unless they play Cinci or the '15 AFC equivalent to last year's Cardinals.

Morse will be better than either starting guard from last year and by a lot. I doubt he is a world beater, but I find it hard to believe he would be worse than McGlynn or Fulton (even though Fulton was a lot better down the stretch)

Peters will be better than Owens.

That's unrealistic?

He might not even be a guard.

Peters is not even playing the slot. He's got some learning to do. Probably get burned a bit.

I asked a more accurate version of the question in this thread to a four striper who was dead heading on a flight I was on last month. At first he had the kind of "I hate dumb questions" reaction but realized I was talking about stuff that not every Tom, Dick and Harry would ask.

He then needled me for not getting my ticket and wondered why I wasn't trying to break into commercial aviation.

Nah, he's street level, . . . in a slum in India

His football knowledge emerges largely unchanged from how his poverty curry enters.
