Berry at Strong Safety is going to help us significantly, particularly in limiting the big play. The playcalling will be a lot better (don't know how good Romeo is, but it's a clear upgrade over Pendergast) and we'll at least make adjustments that keep us from getting gashed from the same play repeatedly.

I still have this as a loss, though, because the Browns can pass the ball this year and I think they have a decent defense. They're going to be better than a lot of people think.

I'm so sick of hearing the Dorsey excuse.

You conveniently forget the rush totals against us when Dorsey WAS in the lineup:

198 to Baltimore
156 to the Giants
150 to Dallas
118 to Washington
135 to San Diego
173 to Jacksonville
182 to Oakland
114 to Pittsburgh
245 to Denver
200 to Buffalo
144 to Cincinnati

Question mark the jag game, could go either way. Based on that, best case 8-8 to 9-7

Crack is a helluva drug

**** it. We're going winless. Every runningback is going to rush for 300 against us.

Why not? How has the Chiefs front seven improved to the point where they won't be giving up a massive amount of rushing yardage?

Has Cleveland not improved their squad, either?

No, Dane. Only the Chiefs were allowed to "improve" this offseason

QFT, though Ben didn't get hurt until late. They just didn't play anywhere near their potential that day, and missing Troy surely didn't help.

Considering that four teams last year put up more than 200 yards on the ground and given the fact that the Chiefs did nothing to address that fact, you may be very surprised at how many games they lose this year to teams that can run the ball effectively.

Hence a possible 1-7 start.

Well, this a part of the problem for the Chiefs, probably their second biggest problem behind QB: They have no depth. They don't have a legit NT and their DE's are average on a good day and well below average on a normal day.

Hali is a liability against run, as is DJ. This team will routinely give up HUGE rushing yardage this season because they just cannot stop anyone on the ground.

Depth is undoubtedly a big problem. But better than last year? Yeah. Shaun Smith is better depth than having nobody (how a team goes through an entire half of a season without a backup NT is headscratching). Gilberry is emerging as a pretty dangerous pass specialist. We will likely have better depth in our secondary by allowing Arenas to match up against slot receivers. And you would hope that this season, you'll start to see Studebaker become featured in a lot more pass plays (or just in general).

I don't think we'll routinely give up big yards. Our biggest problem last year was giving up the big play and I think we'll cut those down significantly. Apart from that ****-up on the McCoy 18-yard run, I thought it was one of the most disciplined games I've seen in a long time with our D-line. They finally were starting to get their gap assignments right, even if they weren't getting a ton of push. That to me, more than anything, was a major reason we were finally getting pressure on the QB when we chose to blitz.

Had they taken Daryl Washington (who's flashing in Arizona) and Cody in R2, I have no doubts they would have won 8 or more games, even with Cassel as the QB.

Wk1: SD @ KC - win
Wk2: KC @ CLE - loss
Wk3: SF @ KC - win
Wk4: BYE
Wk5: KC @ IND - loss
Wk6: KC @ HOU - loss
Wk7: JAC @ KC - win
Wk8: BUF @ KC - win
Wk9: KC @ OAK - win
Wk10: KC @ DEN - win
Wk11: ARI @ KC - win
Wk12: KC @ SEA - loss
Wk13: DEN @ KC - win
Wk14: KC @ SD - loss
Wk15: KC @ STL - loss
Wk16: TEN @ KC - loss
Wk17: OAK @ KC - win

8-8. About where I expect. Most of their wins will have to come at home. I don't see many winnable road games. Think their lower limit for the season is 6-10, their upper 9-7.

Sorry, I don't see and I don't agree. This defense, featuring FOUR number one draft choices, is ****ing awful. AWFUL. They have no legitimate, consistent pass rushers, NO legit NT's, weak DE's and no depth.

Teams like Cleveland, San Diego, San Fran, Houston and Jacksonville will pummel the Chiefs with their running games. Indy won't need to pummel them because the slow defense will be so exhausted by the fourth quarter from trying to get to Peyton Manning all day that it should be an easy win for them.

I will take a playmaker over a 3-4 ILB any day of the week.

Neither of these guys were going to make the CHiefs an 8-win team. Especially not Washington.
