My concern isn't whether it's boring. It's whether that is going to work against good teams. If the Jags didn't have that replay go against them, who knows who the game turns out. Or if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot at every turn.

One of my biggest concerns is what happens when we go down early to a good team. If we want to go far, it seems likely that at some point we will have to come from behind. Whether that be against an AFC West team in the playoffs, NE, ect, I doubt we will be in a perfect position every 3rd quarter.

Hence why is never going to be nfl elite in the playoffs.

10 Home wins in a Row

16-2 last 18 games reg season

As has been shown already, it's likely to be a real concern and cause of failure, but it doesn't stand alone. It's more like an equation of:

coasting conservative + best players MIA via injury = loss

Now just maybe in this postseason, we can get:

coasting conservative + best players healthy and available = win


:shrug:

Good God I should say so

All of that is nice. It was nice to win 100 games in the 90's but what does all this mean? Nothing because we have no championships to show for it.

In pro sports there are no moral victories. The only team that matters is the one that wins the championship. Second place may as well be last at the professional level. We have seen our team do everything but the one thing they are suppose to do every once in a while and it's been over 20 years since we made it to the AFC championship game. That is truly hard to do from a statistics point of view. You'd think we would have gotten lucky at least one year.

Something like 9 or 10 teams have played one more game than the Chiefs - they aren't misleading.

Finally! You posted something that I agree with. That may just be your best post ever. Too bad it wasn't football related. Baby steps. Maybe next week you can post a sensible Chiefs related post.

Wut?

Has it ever crossed your mind that by winning more games you have a better shot at winning more games and ultimately winning THE big game?

Kind of hard to get to the big game without winning the other games.

So what does 100 wins in the 90's get you? A bunch of chances to get to the big game. It didn't work out.

That's kind of where I'm at.

All the "winning in the regular season doesn't matter etc". Yeah, we've seen it before.

But you've gotta win there first, to get to the playoffs. I'd rather win in the regular season than not.

We are 27th against the run in the NFL, 124.5 per game, two slots better than Denver at 29th.

But no one is even close to the horrible 49er's at a WHOPPING 193.0 YPG AVERAGE. That is unfathomable.

Alex Smith

2005-2010: 9,399 yards, 55.6% completion percentage, 51 TDs, 53 INTs, 67.3 Passer Rating

2011-2016: 17,892 yards, 61.7% completion percentage, 110 TDs, 33 INTs, 99.8 Passer Rating

Could be. Long way to go. Will that formula work 2 or 3 times in a row in the playoffs if we end up facing 3 really good teams in a row? Best thing is that PIT is looking more and more flawed as is Denver. We are going to probably have to be the team to stop NE. If that's the case, I don't think your formula will do it. Maybe, but I think we will need to be swinging a little more than we are shielding right now. Maybe that will happen in the second half.

Oakland, NE, and the Chiefs are in a class above the rest of the AFC right now. Denver is flawed as all hell.
