I think KC would have to make a lot of mistakes to lose to the Giants or Pittsburgh.

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but if KC loses to a team it's technically a team they 'couldnt beat'...I listed those teams that KC most likely loses this year.

I dont think losses to Pitt or NYG is all that improbable. Quite likely, in fact.

C’mon, you are way smarter than this. Just because team A beats team B on any given Sunday does not mean team A is the better team or that team A will even be favored in a rematch.

Not trolling...If KC doesnt score a TD on nearly every drive and has zero turnovers, this team is capable of losing to any of those teams.

Again, this team has no margin of error and it's been replete with 'errors' all season so far.



I respect your statistical analysis, cdcox...Always appreciated that from you. I'm guessing at least 7 losses and maybe backing into a playoff spot and a quick flameout thereafter.

And if KC doesn't turn it over like they were, they are capable if beating anyone. KC has beaten themselves far more than anyone has beaten KC this year.

I think the term is 'Any given Sunday'...sometimes the 'better' team does not win.

I'm not saying KC wasnt the better team, instead I'm saying their play currently doesnt indicate to me they're going to win the games I listed.

I agree that we have less margin for error this year than the past three. Today it seemed like Andy realized that. I think we are still a healthy margin better than an average NFL team, as long as Andy utilizes the whole offense for the whole game.

Against the NFL elite it all depends on how we are playing. If the OL comes together, if the defense can play “average”, we can run with anyone.

At this point, I dont see KC beating Buffalo, Tennessee, Green Bay, Las Vegas (one game), and Pittsburgh. I'm on the fence about Dallas and the Giants. KC has historically played like ass when on the road in NY. As much as I hate to say it, I even have a feeling that KC loses to Denver.

Why do you think those two are likely?

Personally, I think this team will make the doomsayers look kind of foolish by the end of the year. I see them ultimately becoming much more balanced than they are currently, and I see the offense becoming a complete juggernaut.

Well, I guess it's a good thing we play NY at home then, huh?

If the defense continues to suck as bad as they have, this team will be lucky to win nine games.
