Chiefs 2007 Schedule Released
 

Chiefs open, close season with road games
By ADAM TEICHER

The Chiefs will begin and finish the season with a pair of road games, according to the schedule released by the NFL today.

The Chiefs will open with games at Houston on Sept. 9 and at defending NFC champion Chicago on Sept. 16.

The home opener is Sept. 23 against Minnesota.

The Chiefs will play six of eight games at Arrowhead Stadium during one mid-season stretch. They are scheduled for no national television appearances other than their season finale on Dec. 30 against the Jets in New York.

The game is tentatively scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. and be televised by NBC. The network has the option of showing a different game in that window, meaning the Chiefs-Jets game would switch to an afternoon time slot.

Home games in CAPS

3 out of the first 4 games are on the road.

But we have a stretch of 7 out of 10 games at home in the middle of the season.

Dear lord, that schedule sucks ass. 2 pairs of away games and they couldn't even do it with the bye week. Then that Denver,Indy,Oak,SD,Den stretch is set up to be pretty brutal.

eh.

3 tough road games without Jared. :banghead:

If Croyle starts, good lord does he have a tough start. 3 of the first 4 away against 2 tough defenses.

We are ****ed.

10-6

No national games sucks after the Thanksgiving showing last year?

I expect the Chiefs and Jets game will be bumped.

Bye week is fine.

REPOST!

Okay, so I vote Nzoner has his shindig on 9/30.

Be realistic here 6-10 is more like it...

you have to have something that resembles an offense...

OK....well, who wants to plan a road trip to Houston?

No chit! :cuss:
When are we ever going to get back onto national TV? We were in the playoffs last year, we have LJ. Maybe they are punishing Kiong Carl for something?:hmmm:

I personally don't care about national TV. I'd rather see the Chiefs as early as possible.

It looks like we will find out real fast what kind of road team Hermie can build. :shrug:

Yep.

Monday night Meltdown?

We were embarrased in the playoffs... I am sure they are punishing us for our the lack of offense we seem to show lately..

Why do you care? Do you go to all the games now? I'm the one out there frezzing my buns off in the frezzing rain in December. You owe me. Wheres my highlight DVD?

Um....I'd rather see the Chiefs at noon than seven hours later. I'm impatient.

I like this schedule. It seems to set up nicely for a mid-season push.

Well i cant see worse than a 2-2 start & the indy - dinveer back to back sux...but other than that i see a lot of winnable games, especially going down the stretch.

We've had worse schedules IMO.

I'm going to sound like a total homer, but it's hard for me to see us going worse than 9-7. I can easily see 10-6.

My losses are @Chicago, @ Denver, @ San Diego, @ NYJ, @ Indianapolis. We might lose to Cincy at home.

Funny, this was the first time I've ever looked at the schedule and thought "thank God, no Monday Night Football".

This is a good schedule. If we are a good team we should easily make the playoffs with this schedule.

No shit. If we only have one road primetime game, I'll take it. Screw it.

Looking that over, I was thinking 8-8 or 9-7.

I was thinking about the gawdawful announcers they have on MNF.

Plus when you are on MNF, that Sunday sucks because... no Chiefs.

And if it were at home, you'd have to get off work early, fight rush hour traffic plus Chiefs traffic, get out of the parking lot at what, 11:30, 12, be dead tired the next day.

Sunday at noon every week suits me just fine.

Cochise nailed it. Primetime games SUCK!

Just in time for the usual end of season collaspe. Three of the last four games are on the road. Shitty, shitty ass schedule. We go 7-9 at best.

Think positive.

2-2 to start
2-2 to finish
7-1 in the middle

BOOYAH!

I would take SNF or Thanksgiving Night game.

not the worast schedule at least we'll have a little confidence builder (or well no it will be a real long season) for week one. .

Chiefs will go 13-3 this year

I like it, lets do this.

I'm actually slightly scared of Houston in week one. The fans down here will pack the place.

FCK! I dont want to go to the Meadolands at the end of December, its going to be like negative 30 degrees at the stadium!

I have the team at 9-6 heading into the Jets game. The home games against Green Bay, Jacksonville and Cincinnati will be crucial. It's also not easy to win on the road in week one.

Thank goodness they dont have a game on 6/9

Green Bay sucks. Jacksonville was our bitch at Arrowhead last year.

Your mom jokes are much more amusing.

Oh wait, no they're not.

But Cincy beat us at Arrowhead last year. They are going to come in here confident.

yeah, but hopefully (even in a first game) our D will take it to their new offense more than their D will take it to ours.....

Our team was a mess in Week 1. And payback is a bitch. :cuss:

sorry Big Red Chief, I didn't see this one and got caught by GoChief's repost......


I asked there, so I'll ask here. I know it's early, but what is the possiblility that there will be a roadtrip from all over to Chicago. I'm in St. Louis, so I might try to make that one.

Any Chiefs fans in Chicago?

They don't have a D. LMAO

which is what I based my comment on, so a good moderate road game challenge to start the season, we can win that one.....


split with Denver and SD, two more losses (chicago and Indy) and we go 12-4, hopefully.......

Your walmart stories are more amusing.


Make sure to post a thread when you graduate to going to the mall in Springfield.

Heh. I'm sure you'll get lots of LOL rep for that one.

No National Games (except 1) is excellent

We tend to embarrass ourselves in national games

I'm tired of seeing the same damn posts day in and day out. People whining about their lives, bitching about other people, bragging about things that only they care about and no one else gives a shit about.

I'm especially tired of accomplishments that people post that suggest they be rewarded for shit that average people do on a daily basis.

THis brings me to the ol fork in the road. I think from now on whenever I accomplish something, even if its like breathing, I'll make a thread about it, celebrating my hollow victory.

because I care that much for everyone and i'll know down deep they all want to hear what I am doing.

*Update posted soon*

could easily lose all of these

No whining in this thread. We have real Chiefs football news to talk about. In the off season this is gold. Go whine somehere else

I'll make your mom whine today right after I slip her my pecan log

There back on track. Thats an acceptable redrum post :clap:

I can't believe people are scared of San Diego.

well if they haven't they will chime in.....

HemiEd, Frazod

any idea when the tickets go on sale to KC residents???????

I know it is early just excited...

ESPN will air a two-hour special about the NFL schedule starting at noon.

who's scared?


but the reality is that they are the more talented team right now

With an entirely new coaching staff...led by NORV TURNER.

Tomlinson is what makes them scary.

And that is a rough schedule. We had best go 7-1 or better at home this year.

I got a serious offer for a lot of money to move to Chicago yesterday but I couldn't live in Cubs land.

I don't know about a road trip for me. The last one to Indy didn't work out so well...:mad:

Tomlinson has been our bitch more often than not.

Perfect time of year to have your bye week.

true ... and anything can happen in the NFL

maybe they will implode .... but AS OF RIGHT NOW, you have to judge them as the better team.



besides, i can't see that our coaching staff is anything special thus far either.



hopefully things go well

That's the only good thing about it.

How many times are the Broncos on in primetime this year?

Originally posted on GC's thread.

This schedule broke about as good as it could. Indy and Chicago are likely losses wherever the game is played. Better burn a road game on those so we can catch Jax and Cinn at home, where we might have a chance.

The two road games to stsart the season don't bother me. The first is winnable. We could easily start the season 1-1 after two road games.

Finishing two on the road is not so bad either, because the first one is Detroit. We even have a chance against the Jets on the road.

We have good chances to go 3-1 against the NFC North and 3-1 against the AFC South. We get the easier of the two 2nd place teams (Jets) on the road and the harder one at home (Cinn). Can't ask for much more than that.

Yes but at least they aren't COMPLETELY NEW.

Hell, if we lose all of those we are not a playoff team anyway.

Seems like a pretty easy schedule to me. Even if we're an average team with our home field we should be able to get at least 9 wins out of that. Of course you never know in the NFL.

I haven't seen the schedule yet. According ti espn.com the schedules will be released at 1:00 pm ET today, which by my watch is in about 5 minutes.

6-10 unless we have an amazing draft.

Yeah I agree with the previously posted opinions. We got some games we will probably lose anyway and they are on the road and got some iffy games to be played at home.

Sucks that 3 out of 4 early games are on the road but is any NFL team happy about the schedule?

Hmmm. Denver has 3 Monday Night games this year. 2 at home against Green Bay & Tennessee then the last one of the year at San Diego.

Why? They didn't even make the playoffs. They have no offensive superstars? WTF?:cuss:

Jay Cutler, Javon Walker, Daniel Graham, Travis Henry are all prime time attractions to the league and the public.

3 MNF appearances is a lot but, as you know, the Denver Broncos are just plain sexy to the powers that be in TV land.

Why 3 of first 4 on road....and 3 of last 4 on road?

You shouldnt get nailed on both ends of the schedule....

I would think that Arrowhead looks pretty damn good on TV and that LJ's star power blows those 3 away. But WTF I'm probably just a homer.

6-10 at best. I think we lose both games to Denver.
