Another positive note is last year we were able to win on the road. We ended up with a better away record than home

Bullshit

And none of the players killed themselves or anyone else.

Newsflash, every team in our division will have a ball busting schedule this year. Probably easier to win our division than to make it as a wild card. 9-7 or even 8-8 can win this division this year.

I think chiefs say **** it and make playoffs where they unexpectedly win a playoff game.

I'm thinking we'll start like 2-6.

I think they'll go 5-11, 6-10 at best. This is a team who barely beat teams last year with backup QB's. They're not going to be playing any scrubs this year (well maybe the Bills). This year is a true test of Andy Reid's coaching and Dorsey's management.

20 years......20.....let that sink in. I'm not holding my breath.

I agree, **** the Colts. **** the Broncos, **** the Raiders, **** em all.

2-6? Don't you mean 2-4? When's the last time we lost to the ****ing Rams in the regular season? We're going to stomp their asses. And the Jets don't scare me either since we're at home.

I will go full true fan if we get out of our first 6 games with a 3-3 record. We can take the Titans. We're more than likely not beating the Donks barring a Manning injury, and @Miami will be tough as the 2nd week of a two-week road trip. Home against New England on Monday night is winnable, but still tough. I don't give us a chance in hell at going on the road and taking it to the 49ers on a short week, and going to the Chargers sucks dick, too.

It'd be one thing if the Chiefs had demonstrated a better level of toughness in division games, but they're still shitty at even breaking even. Until they prove they can make it happen, count @Denver and @San Diego as losses along with @San Francisco.

@Miami and at home against New England is our best shot at going 3-3 to start the year. And I'd say the odds are against us in even doing that.

Ouch!

Little to No chance to get rolling out of the gate with this schedule.

Yur being very generous Brad.,

19-0

Reservations made for the 29th. Guess I won't be needing my parking pass for that game. Better than driving clear home that late at night, plus it'll give me and the Mrs a day to kill while we are in town Tuesday. I'm up for a beer if anyone is around 132 that game, or 'gating on the south side of J before the game.

What did you say last season?

I dunno ... TN, @ DEN, @ MIA, NE, @SF and then the bye ... I do have that as 2-3 (wins vs TN and MIA).

After that, @SD, STL, NY, @ Buf - I have 4 wins.

Could be streaky, but after 9 games, I see it as 6-3. After that, losses vs SEA and @ PIT... 11-5 likely in my opinion. Teams will lose one they shouldn't and vice versa, but that's what I'd roll out.

I agree. I see 6-7 wins max

We're ****ed

Oh really?

I'm actually going to predict a win against NE.

We'll know by December if either of our teams is built for playoff success.

Denver has Colts / Chiefs / Seahawks / 49ers / Patriots / Chiefs
Chiefs have Broncos / Patriots / 49ers / Seahawks / Broncos

Those are the biggest games for the two teams (6 for Den, 5 for KC)... doesn't include the Chargers, Jets (3 more common opponents) that could be quite challenging for both.

Big differences are TN/PIT for KC and IND/CIN for Denver. Overall, pretty tough roads and if either team can be > .500 against those big teams above... look out.

Here's the lockscreen size for the iphone 5 if you want to modify it.

To state the obvious, it's about getting over a rough start.

Andy Reid has had a team at or below .500 through the first six weeks in the following seasons:

1999 (5-11)
2000 (11-5; 1-1)
2001 (11-5; 2-1)
2003 (12-4; 1-1)
2007 (8-8)
2008 (9-6-1; 2-1)
2011 (8-8)
2012 (4-12)

In 2005 the Eagles started out 4-2 and finished 6-10, so that could be an outlier type of season which come on the hells of their SB loss to the Patriots.

For the most part, however, Reid's teams start off with winning or non-losing records and finish the season with an above even tally on the year. But there are three years that aren't so.

1999 was his first season as HC, of course, so that's at least defensible given they started Doug Pederson for the first part of the season before going with the rookie McNabb for six of the last seven games.

2007 the Eagles had the misfortune of being in the division the year the Cowboys were the #1 seed in the NFC, playing two other division champs in the Seahawks and Packers along with Redskins as a wild card and the coup de grace of playing both SB participants in the Patriots and Giants. Yikes.

2011 was a clone of 2007, except this time their losses to post season teams came in three successive weeks (@ATL, NYG, SF) and were accompanied by a loss to the Bills. They went 7-4 after that point with losses to the Patriots, two other 8-8 teams (ARI and CHI) and on the road in Seattle. Yet the Eagles swept the Cowboys and Redskins and beat the Giants on the road too.

2012 Eagles lost eight in a row before winning their fourth game and proceeded to lose their last three games. That was also the season his son died and the carousel at defensive coordinator and what ultimately led to his dismissal from Philly.

If there's anything I've gotten from reviewing his history with rough starts is that Reid's teams don't seem to quit on him, they generally win the games they should win against inferior or equal teams but will lose to superior teams that turn out to be playoff caliber squads.

Nice research there.

I haven't ever seen numbers on it, but I've always felt that the best teams in the league do basically that (which a good portion of times, Reids Eagles teams were league best type teams) in that they beat the teams they should (teams they're better than/equal too) and go about .500 against playoff caliber squads.

I'm not done yet, sir.

Andy Reid is 35-38 (18-16 home; 17-21 away) overall against KC's 2014 opponents.

He's winning overall against the following:
San Francisco 6-3 (2-2 Home, 4-1 Away)
St. Louis 5-3 (3-1 Home, 2-2 Away)
New York 3-0 (2-0 Home, 1-0 Away)
Oakland 3-2 (2-1 Home, 1-1 Away)

Tied with:
Buffalo 3-3 (1-0 Home, 2-3 Away)
Seattle 3-3 (0-2 Home, 3-1 Away)
Pittsburgh 2-2 (1-0 Home, 1-2 Away)

Losing against:
Tennessee 1-4 (0-2 Home, 1-2 Away)
Denver 1-3 (1-1 Home, 0-3 Away)
New England 1-4 (1-2 Home, 0-1 Away, 0-1 Neutral)
San Diego 2-4 (2-2 Home, 0-2 Away)
Arizona 5-7 (3-3 Home, 2-4 Away)

his record against Denver depresses me.

I ****ed it up by including Chip Kelly's 2013 game against the Donx. Fixing post.

Okay. I'm gonna go ahead and say we beat the 49ers and NE.

We play the Bills every.....single.....season.

LMAO

lol

1-4 at the bye?
