Predict the rest of the season
 

So I figure if we lose next week to the Vikings - we will see Daniel start against the Steelers - if we lose that game - I could see them pulling the plug on everything established and go with Murray against the Lions. Why the Lions game? Because it's at a neutral venue against a terrible team. HE should be able to build some confidence in that game.

If we beat the Vikings but Smith is still not leading the offense the way it should be I still think we see Daniel against the Steelers.

If Smith, by some miracle, has a breakout game I think we are stuck with him until the bye. If he can keep up the good performances then he is the starter the rest of the way.

I really don't see him making it past the Vikings. I have a terrible feeling we are in for a long two game stretch. I would love to see Daniel try and make something of our season at 1-5 but I doubt it happens.


Thoughts?

12-4.

12-4

GO CHIEFS!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

GO CHIEFS!!!

Alex will start regardless of his performance, dragging with him a team in flames.

LMAO

Anyone who thinks Reid is benching a healthy Alex Smith needs their head examined.

I disagree, I think Andy knows he is on the hot seat if this gets any worse than it already is - he needs to make changes and show improvement

You really think Andy is going to risk his future paycheck on a problem that is easily fixable by a personnel change?

I think andy was the one who wanted to give Alex the money so yes he know's his fate is tied with that of the Alex Smith.

Captain of the Titanic Reid is not - I think he abandons ship in effort to save his job

5-11.

Reid and Smith both come back next year and KC goes 8-8 next year and loses to Manning two more times.

Andy is not on the hot seat. Clark isn't going to fire Reid after this season unless the team goes 1-15 or 2-14 and the players look like they've given up. It's laughable that anyone thinks the problems with this team are easily fixable by putting Chase in at QB.

Detached amusement.

I think it helps - what I have seen on video is a scared Smith - he has happy feet and a quick trigger. The fans will be calling for his head if it doesn't turn around fast. After the way we lost to the Bangles and the Bares we should be ashamed. Like I said, IF we lose to the Vikings - there will be a major need for a personnel shakeup - the biggest one would be to bench Alex.

LMAO

You think the Chiefs problems are easily fixable with a personnel change?

I don't think you can fix EVERYTHING but if you go from 50% chance of winning to 65% it's worth a shot

How do you explain to your boss you wasted an 18m signing bonus on the worst QB in the league.

Hoisted by his own petard.

Better than explaining to your boss that you spent the 18m on the worst QB in the league and stuck with him till the end. At some point you have to admit your mistake and move on or accept that you are losing your job.

We lose the next two games.

On the return home from London, the Chiefs plane vanishes in the Bermuda triangle.

Hoping for a 1-15 or 2-14. Tired of this shitshow. There will be no positive turnaround with Smith n caoching staff. It seems no one in the Chiefs organization knows what happened between pre-season, the Texans game and now. The Bears game at home is all the evidence anyone needs to see this era needs to burnoff.

Maybe, but I just don't think Clark is going to fire Reid after this season. I also have more faith in Dorsey to address the QB situation in the draft than any GM in KC's recent past.

Meh - I think if we play Murray we could finish with 4-5 wins and build for the future of figure out if we need to draft another QB

I mostly agree- I don't think Clark fires Reid after the season if he stick with Smith, but I think he will be on a much shorter leash if the next season goes bad. OTOH if he plays Daniel/Murray and we finish with 4-5 wins I think Clark gives him a longer leash to play with next year.

NFL coaches have 50/50 chance of being fired after London

Since both the lions and chiefs will Probably have the same record there is a good chance Cladwell or Reid will no longer be coaching a team on the way back :)

You think Reid keeps his job at 1-15 that's a hard sell for any coach

I'd like to see what Murray could do. That would be interesting. Hopefully he'll call audibles on all on Big Angies BS plays.

You may be right. The hesitation is that once Smith is pulled it opens up a whole can of worms. He has to be confident the next man in can lead the team and if he doesn't then Reid is in a huge bind.

I'm going with 4-12. Split with SD and Oakland and beat the Browns at arrowhead..

Caldwell is ****ed because Reid isn't going anywhere.

I predict that every Chiefs' game from here on will elicit this from me... v

http://media.tumblr.com/61e0d991dbed...OpF1qgwf3a.gif

Caldwell flat out sucks donkey balls.

Reid is a good head coach that needs to head coach, not be both coach and offensive coordinator.

If Dorsey can convince him to hand over play calling duties to a strong OC, a la Mike McCarthy in Green Bay, I think Reid would still be a very good head coach.

What really needs to happen is that John Dorsey needs to do his job - fire Sutton, get Reid to face reality about the futility of his dual roles and hand over OC duties and work tirelessly to get the best QB possible in this next draft (2016). In fact, he needs to draft two in this next draft for depth beyond the singular trifecta of Smith/Daniel/Murray.

Daniel is a FA after the 2015 season, so he's probably gone at what they are paying him unless they bench Smith and he ****ing goes ****ing nuts and lights it up. Murray should be given the field if they lose the two of the next four games no matter who is QB'ing between Smith and Daniel.

But Dorsey needs to put all of his efforts into making sure that they fine tooth comb this draft class for the best possible QB for this team as well as finding a very strong OC and DC.

Do work John.

Any team that loses to KC should just stop playing football.

I predict the bleakest of all timelines. After the London game the Chiefs and Lions swap head coaches.

Chiefs lose. Royals win.

For some reason, this seems appropriate.

I predict that I won't give a shit.

There is no possible way the rest of the season doesn't end in pain.

There will either be the pain of watching the Chiefs be curb stomped by anorexics. Or there will be the pain of watching the Chiefs win 4 games as you realize they just played themselves out of range of a top QB in the draft. Followed by the pain of the draft when they select a lineman.

I guess the solution would be to not watch.

Chiefs lose to Minnesota, 34-6. Trade Andy Reid for Bill Belichick, go 11-5. F**king book it.

the Lions game is the more important we have to lose lol

Is Brady coming with? Even Belichick was shit without a QB.

Spectacular FAIL.

And therefore it is their greatest chance of winning to screw up the draft order.

If Alex plays this week like he did last week the conversation will begin. Once Arrowhead is a ghost town they will sit him down as an effort to get the crowd through the gates.

Next season he will probably be back to screwing us up with that BS contract.

Plenty of empty seats available! Smell that Q in the lot!

Chase is not fixing Andy Reid's play calling or game mgmt issues. People are so short sighted and have short term memory when it comes to chase and him "lighting it up"..

It took SD all of 2 quarters to solve Daniels last season. His game stats were so Reid / Smith like it wasn't even funny. But he did play throw the ball well against Walmart greeters and car washers in preseason, So there's that.

And if it does screw us. You can thank Reid for allowing it to happen. BS coach doing his normal BS shit.

IMO, The wild card here is lowered expectations.

How will this squad respond to the realization that they're the dregs of the league and a national punchline?

Could fall apart, could go HAM.

Could very well happen. Our biggest allie and asset in this is the national media. The quicker they start hammering on Reid the faster the tractor of embarrassment picks up.. Fans have little pull compared to the media.

Don't forget he was throwing the ball TO walmart greeters and car washers.
He can find the open man a lot better than Alex Smith can.

That said, Andy Reid is still a shit playcaller, and John Dorsey is a giant fail for extending Alex Smith's contract and drafting shitty players.

Agree. When he tossed a shot ton of dump offs and a few - yard pass plays against SD last season. I knew then he could comfortably run Reid offense.

Putting him in ends Reid's tenure here. Giving Smith all that money to only bench him for some JAG proves the point many have been saying about Reid. He isn't a QB guru and he failed this franchise with his handpicked QB...

Quicker chase is in, the quicker Reid is fired.

I think we finish 1-15.

What is Reid's history of benching QB's who are tripping over their dicks?

I don't see Alex because being benched unless he is injured. We went through the same shit with Cassel. And I think the reason we stay with these guys too long is because of Clark's stubborn ass not giving the "go ahead" to cut ties because of the stupid ****ing money they are being paid by him. I believe Clark has had some involvement in the Chiefs being handcuffed to these prag QB's.

6-10... the Chiefs will start winning some games when the only thing to play for is a better draft pick.

Right or wrong, I think they are still firmly in the "it's not Alex that is the problem" corner.

... and they are not wrong.. but also not entirely right either.

5-11

The offense is the reason we are below .500. If they don't think Alex is the problem now, they will soon. He doesn't have Jamaal to bale him out of the dink and dunk passes and long runs. The offensive success of the team is riding on his shoulders.

Sink or swim, it's all on Alex now.

Posted this in another thread but I'll just drop this here too. I see it playing out like this;

@Vikings - Loss (AP breaks the single game rushing record)
Steelers - Loss (The Revenge of Haley)
Lions - Loss (Megatron breaks the single game receiving record)
@Broncos - Loss (KC makes Peyton look like he's 15 years younger)
@Chargers - Loss (Rivers goofy assed face wears a smug look all game)
Bills - Win (In a kicker's duel Santos comes out on top)
@Raiders - Loss (Team is starting to mutiny)
Chargers - Loss (1//4 the D is on IR before the game, the rest go on IR after the game)
@Ravens - Loss (Flacco carves KC up all day...think about that)
Browns - Win (Cause it's the Browns)
Raiders - Loss (Nobody cares anymore)

Final record 3 - 13

I don't know what we finish this year in all honesty, but I do know we are very weak at the two most important areas of an offense (QB, O Line) and our DC is awful at best. Fix those things and I'll have some hope again.

If we win 5 games I'll really be surprised. This team reminds me of the 2-14 mess where clearly the players weren't giving any shits all season long.

We probably finish 6-10, don't have a high enough draft pick to take the best QB. Alex is back due to salary but is on a short leash. Chase walks and there is open competition between Murray and Bray and whatever other scrub they draft in round 5. Sutton and Heck are fired, Reid gives up play calling duties and starts meddling more in offseason front office decisions.

At some point Clark is going to need to make an ultimatum to the front office that they figure out the QB situation that hasn't been solved for 30 years or else. He needs to put a ban on trading for other QB's or signing expensive FA QB's that did nothing elsewhere, and insist on drafting and developing the face of the franchise.

Reid and Dorsey are a package deal so they get two more years. We'll get close but won't get to the playoffs in either year and he cans them and tries to hire one of the Harbaughs, with Jim being the focus due to his KC family connections. We get spurned so he hires some hot defensive assistant at that time...

In a flaming ball of loss right into a ice berg. Followed by Aids tree fire storm. Put out by anit freeze tears.

Theres a couple more wins in there. One of the Raider games and then either one of the Charger games or Lions or Vikings.

Why not...I'll throw some thoughts out there:

@Vikings - Win. Just because everyone expects them to lose, they show up.
Steelers - Loss Big Ben returns.
Lions - Win. The Lions are even worse than we are.
@Broncos - Loss #Peyton
@Chargers - Loss I figure we split with them.
Bills - Win With Tyrod out, we should beat them.
@Raiders - Loss Same note with the chargers
Chargers - Win
@Ravens - Loss. Living here in baltimore, they are in same spot as us. Difference is Flacco vs Smith
Browns - Win
Raiders - Win

7-9 is my guess which is just good enough to ruin our draft pick and keep Alice...

4 - 12 now that Charles is gone. I don't see us beating San Diego or sweeping Oakland which used to kind of be realistic. This team has no leaders or heart...if they did they wouldn't have crapped themselves for the past 3 games.

They'll drag the Vikes down and lose 13-17 or some such $3it since I started all possible Vikes in my FD this week...

My prediction? Not giving a shit.

The only way they could win two more is to selectively start Daniel one, and Murray another.

Two "no tape on this QB"-victories, and it's all over. And you better pick Cleveland and one Oakland game to do so.

And that might not even help you with Oakland.

.

6-10 drafting dead last among 6-10 teams due to SOS. Narrowly missing out on the top two QBs in this class. :(

Should we get the plane and banner out of the shed?
