I said 3 in the hopes we can steal a W against the colts or texans. Both teams have questionable defences so we should be able to run on both. The key will be getting pressure on their QB's and disrupting their passing games.

In Romeo I trust!

Voted for 1. Still pesimistic. Do you see what you people have done to me?

:shake:
Jeez, I'm like the guy that feeds the Horseman's horses their Brimstone Oates everyday, and even I voted for two wins...

@ Indy - L
@ Houston - L
Jacksonville - W
Buffalo - L

Just a feeling this is a rough part of the schedule. Indy and Houston are going to be some brutal road games, bye week or not. And Buffalo's desperate ass finds a way to win.

Please explain how Buffalo is going to stop the run or run the ball or pass on our secondary.

If Buffalo isn't a sure-fire win, this team is a pretender.

Not sure where you get 7-0 against Manning?

I count 5-2?

Indy's OL is fairly weak, or has been thus far. They've also given up a crudload of rushing yards. I think they play right into our strengths. Only issue I have here is on the road.

Houston can burn us. Arian Foster has been great. Schaub and Co. are as beastly as ever, and their D is good against the run so far, although this could just be because their passing defense is atrocious. Cassel's going to have to make a few plays if we're going to win this one.

Jacksonville and Buffalo have looked pretty damn bad. Since both those are home games, shouldn't have a problem against either one.

I think if we can keep the penalties down, we got a reasonable shot at winning all 4.. although it's more likely we slip at some point in either the Texans or the Colts game. So I'll say we go 3-1 in the stretch.

In this league, sometimes there is no explanation necessary. Like I said, it's just a feeling I have. Maybe the Chiefs are a pretender this year. Hasn't seemed like it yet but we'll see how they handle Indianapolis and Houston.

That was a stat provided by another poster and I didn't confirm.

My bad if untrue.

So you're not basing it on any football reason, just a hunch?

Okay.

Sorry, I disagree. The Chiefs should be clicking on all cylinders by the time they face Buffalo and once again, I'd be shocked if Haley, Weis & Crennel lost to the Bills at home.

IMO, the Bills will compete for the number one overall pick and have a solid chance of going 0-16. I think they'll probably pull of a squeaker or two but they're among the worst teams in the league this year.

Losing to them could keep the Chiefs from competing in the playoffs.

The Chiefs are among the league leaders in rushing defense and Foster has been stiffeld somewhat since his week one breakout (against, you guessed it, the Colts).

Schaub and company have been successful through the air but I like the way the Chiefs secondary matches up against the Texans receivers.

The Chiefs may not win in Texas but it should be a close game.

Well, we'll have to disagree for now. Buffalo isn't as bad as you think. They'll get some wins this year, but KC should be a contender regardless of a slipup loss to a weaker team. I wasn't expecting playoffs but with a headstart at 3-0 anything is possible.

Ah, no biggie. I just think of 5-2 from another poster on a different board. I too, didn't comfirm either, but I'm just going off what I been told.

Romeo was the DC of the Patriots from 2001-2004.

Romeo was the HC of the Browns from 2005-2008.

The Chiefs should absolutely beat Buffalo, regardless of whether or not they may win a couple of games.

If the Chiefs are to take the next step, they need to beat teams they're supposed to beat.

Personally, I have a hard time believing that Crennel and Weis are going to lose to a Buffalo team or any inferior team.

This isn't the bumbling, stumbling coaching staff of 2001-2009 that loses to bad teams. These guys are too smart for that nonsense, as evidence by their halftime adjustments.

Ahhhh...halftime adjustments....:)

He's 6-0 when he was with the Patriots. They played Indy 2 times in 01.


And I don't think people are counting his days with the Browns.

3, but I wouldn't be upset or surprised if we only take 2. I'm hoping we pull one win between the Houston and Indy games.

Fair enough. At least it's nice to have a comptent DC for a change.

I'll agree with this, but I don't think they're good enough to beat us at Arrowhead, especially if we drop either one of the road games.

If we come out of this 5-2 I'll be happy.

6-1 and pencil in the playoffs.

If Hali can do what he did in the 9ers game, we'll win. Peyton has pocket presence to step up, but he's not mobile at all and won't be able to totally avoid Hali.

I said 5-2 a couple of week ago and that's probably still a fair assessment.

But, I wouldn't be surprised to see them split on the road. It all comes down to game planning and IMO, we have the best coordinators in the league.

Peyton rarely takes sacks and Hali won't be facing a rookie from Rutgers.

Bottom Line: Don't count on it.

You know what I find funny... The drafturbators (Not you Dane) were making fun of the people that said that coaching alone will help us win additional games...and look at us now.

It's especially funny to look at Deez Nutz posts.

Welcome to the Planet. I hope things have been well all these years, ever since I walked on you to school each day as a young child.


Almost nothing really surprises me anymore... winning the next 4 would, and losing all 4 would. It's not hard for me to see them losing to Buffalo or Jacksonville... those teams are a mess like Dane said, but even elite teams lose games they should win every once in a while, much less the Chiefs. A turnover or two, a big return, and you have an upset... hell, that's how the Chiefs won one game.

Losing all 4 would really surprise me considering how ugly Jacksonville and Buffalo have played.

That won't happen.

****, if the Chiefs are losing to Buffalo at halftime, I fully expect Weis to throw his gallbladder at the starting quarterback.

I know it won't. Was just respondin to the dude above.

Fitzpatrick is pretty injury prone anyways I think. Who the hell do they even have behind him if he doesn't make it to week 9? Oh right, Brian Brohm......

You do realize that a truckload of people predicted we'd win 6-8 games last year simply based on going from Herm and Gunther to Pendergast and Haley, right?

Pendergast and haley =/= Weis and Crennel

4
Colts, Texans, Jaguars and Bills
This is the NFL... and any given Sunday.

They need to steal one of the games from the Colts or Texans because that could be a tie-breaker for the playoffs/wildcard spot should KC continue to play well.

If they win either of those games, they'll win the division.

The only thing certain is we'll know a lot more about the football team in 5 weeks - particularly the defense. Indy and Hou are 2 elite passing attacks and I wouldn't be surprised if Hou and Jacksonville expose the rush defense improvements a bit.

S.D.: 32nd in rush ypc in '09
S.F: 31st in rush ypc in '09

Stop the run against Houston and Jacksonville and I'll be sold.

SD has a brand-new back. 2009 = irrelevant.

Gore had 1120 yards in 2009 at 4.9 per clip. Considering he was the only one to rush the football, their team YPC is also irrelevant.

In summary, your post is worthless.

2-2. Indy should be a good game, but I don't think we are there yet. Houston is another I think we will lose.

Pretty confident at winning 3/4. Don't see any reason why we couldn't, We're competitive now.

I think the Chiefs will go 2-2, but there is a decent chance of beating the Colts and them going 3-1. If they do, I see a letdown against Houston.

:doh!:

In for a huge letdown everyone...

2-2 over this stretch would be a good sign for us.

In all fairness, you know WHY we were making fun of those people?

Because they said it the year before regarding Haley and Pendergast.

Kinda rings hollow after that.


EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the entire thread before posting. Hamas covered this already.

Didn't Buffalo just scare teh bejesus out of the Patriots at Gillette last week?

Not saying we'll lose by any means, but every year people say the same thing about Oakland at Arrowhead.

2 wins

2 for sure. 3 possibly/won't be surprised. 4 wet dream.

They did but they're an inconsistent team that has three injured defensive starters.

I suppose that anything can happen but I think it would extremely embarrassing for Haley if he lost to Gailey after firing him so abruptly last year, especially at Arrowhead.

I could be completely wrong but I have a feeling the team will be really pumped up to play Buffalo and for Haley that week.

We better f'ing beat the Jags. That will be my first Chiefs game...if we lose I'm going to be very hard to get along with for at least a week.
