San Diego could very well be fighting for its playoff life at that point in the season. Indy has had one bad game, and I actually agree that team is on the way down, but I need to see a little more before I believe the St. Louis game is more than an aberration. And Washington... yes, up-and-down this season, but that team has a formula that could give the Chiefs some trouble on the road (mobile quarterback who is a threat to run, good running back/running game).

And I didn't say they WOULD lose all of those, just that 2 or 3 from that group wouldn't completely surprise me.

But we haven't exactly looked great against poor teams - not sure why you are being ridiculed for thinking those teams could trip us up.

It's fair to say that winning on Sunday at Denver goes a long way in winning the division. Winning a road division game is essentially two wins because now the pressure is on the other team to win at your place the next time around. That, and I think Denver loses at NE. This game is huge. I could see Denver possibly losing three in a row if we beat them. That bye couldn't have come at a better time for us, and Manning dinged up couldn't have come at a worse time for Denver. We'll see soon enough.

Because the defense is holding teams to 12 points a game.

I can't imagine Indy at Arrowhead, with their deficiencies, beating the Chiefs in December.

Even IF both teams continue to play as they've been playing all season, Denver has a tougher road, IMO, than the Chiefs.

After beating three teams with a combined 9 wins by a combined 17 points over the last three weeks, I'm not sure why anyone would see ANY team on our schedule as a sure win.

Is Washington a good team? Nope.

Is Indy moving in the wrong direction? Looks like it.

Answer me this, Batman: How many NFL games have you watched, from start to finish this season, other than the Chiefs?

A cursory look around the NFL this past Sunday, during the Chiefs Bye, would show terrible outings by many playoff contenders. The Bengals and Ravens were awful, the once great Steelers worse, the Broncos couldn't score in the second half against a lame San Diego team, the 49ers had 91 yards passing, etc. and so on.

Too many people in this forum focus solely on the Chiefs deficiencies yet fail to recognize that 95% of NFL teams have far more issues.



It's implied.

The Broncos of course can continue at this pace but the Chiefs can't.

That's all I keep hearing from the national media and "Chicken Littles" in this forum".



Wait: So the Chiefs aren't winning the time of possession battle and their games?

Huh?



Oh, so the offense isn't contributing or hasn't contributed?

I think we're watching different teams.

While the Chiefs have most certainly left numerous points on the field, they've only needed a defensive score to win a football game just once, in Buffalo.



I'm sorry, I just don't buy that. Having watched the Colts, Redskins, Raiders and Chargers several times this year, I just don't see how the Chiefs could possibly go 2-5 after the Bye.

That's just unequivocal nonsense.

Not trying to steal the thread. I don't have 100 posts yet. I was listening to 104.3 Fm here in Denver today and one of the so called commentators was saying that KC is gonna finish 9-7 or 10-6 at best. No chance at sniffing the playoffs. His name is Alfred Williams. What say you?
