Chiefs 1 game back of 6th seed
 

With one game left against an opponent with a winning record
Also on a 2 game winning streak.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Who thinks we can make the POs?

30% chance.

Sounds about right.

Depends on how they play the rest of the season.

Bet they get to 9 and 5, only to lose the last 2 in some unfathomable way and miss the playoffs

If they can beat Denver and San Diego then I'll start to believe. Until then, because Chiefs.

The Because Chiefs move would be to beat Denver, San Diego and then Buffalo... only to get smoked by Oakland.

Who's the 5th seed right now?

Excellent!

After all the Chiefs have been through...

Who knows what can happen if we can get into the playoffs? Yes, we will probably lose. However, all but one team eventually loses.

As a "homer" fanatic, my hope is eternal!

"it's not how you start, its how you finish"!

9-7 would get us in.

Royals bump

And to your point, the Chiefs have been HORRIBLE finishers!!! :rolleyes:

That's pretty good odds for a team that was once 1-5. If you'd claimed we'd have a 30% shot at the playoffs at any point on, you'd be laughed off the Internet.

But outside of New England, Cincy, and Denver... the rest of the conference is a dumpster fire. And Denver's offense has been awful.

I have no illusions about the Chiefs playing at a championship level though. I will say this, the way things are going the 5 seed is going to be in a good spot. Houston won today, and the Colts are hurting bad and have to play Carolina tomorrow. Indy loses and the Texans are tied for the division lead. If the Colts can't get healthy that 4 seed could be pretty rough.

I think it's new England and cincy, then the rest.

Denver's d is great but that offense isn't good enough as of right now

Technically the Jets.

They are playing the Raiders right now. If Oakland hangs on to win, they'll be the 5 seed.

Forgot about the jets. The dolphins are playing better but I don't know that I trust them.

NE mollywhoomped Miami. They aren't good.

We aren't going to make the playoffs...

But this thread is a nice archive of those whose souls aren't completely blackened yet.

Yeah that's pretty much right. I don't trust the Dolphins either. The whole thing is a giant pile of crap.

If Andrew Luck's ribs are broken... that AFC South 4 seed could be a winnable game for whoever gets the 5 seed though. That's as far as my optimism will go at this point. Houston and Jacksonville are right behind them.

That's crazy. Stooges

This.

Denver will squeak one out to burn down our chances and San Diego will piss on the ashes.

I'm not saying we'll beat San Diego, but they are 2-6 and we've played them well under Reid.

I don't know why that's chalked up as a guaranteed loss. Oakland is playing better than San Diego.

It at least makes the season watchable for another month, if nothing else.

#rolleyes #lol

I just think this thread shows how bad the NFL as a whole is this year. Other than the Packers, Patriots, and Bengals, I wouldn't say there is really another really good team in the league. Even the Panthers and Broncos at 6-0 aren't great teams. They'd be 4-2 or 3-3 any other season.

I still don't think we make the playoffs. We'll win 8 or maybe even 9 games and we'll look at our shitty start and wonder "what if?".

Assume Jets get WC1. If we beat Denver (obviously a big IF), closing out the season 5-2 is not altogether crazy to think about, and then we're almost certainly in at 9-7. Pitt has too hard of a schedule to go 10-6.

****ing Chicago game.

At this rate, 9-7 might not just get you in, it might get you a 5 seed against a winnable AFC South opponent.

****ing Donald Stephenson.

Who you guys think ends up the 3 seed?

I'm going denver

Yes. **** him, too.

I'd rather see the Chiefs at 9-7 in the playoffs than 7-9 with their dicks in their hands.

and Denver

and Minnesota

They have their metaphorical dicks in their hands in the playoffs, so what's the difference?

Glad the trolls have been flushed and we are winning great combination. GO CHIEFS!!!!

:deevee:

**** you

8-8! Yay!

The loss to the Bears was a killer. The Chiefs have yet to beat a team that they were supposed to lose to. That will need to happen a couple of times the 2nd half of the season, along with beating teams they should, in order to close the gap on the last spot. Gonna have to go 6-2 at worst to have any legit shot.

Damn that loss to the Bears...:shake:

Me too. I never like to see dicks in hands.

But the Chiefs beat the Steelers, which could be a tie-breaker down the road.

They play AFC teams for the rest of the entire schedule so if they can win 6, they'll be in good shape to get the 6th seed.

Wins: at San Diego, Buffalo, San Diego, at Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland.

Losses: At Denver, at Oakland

9-7

The chances are growing every week.. I'm still going to remain doubtful until we're .500.

Good thing We're competing with the Raiders, Steelers, and Jets, Bills, and Texans for tose last two spots, and if we're going to end up with a good enough record to make the playoffs then we will likely hold a tie breaker over all of those teams minus the jets.

I'm really worried about the Raiders though. That offense is going to give us fits.

Steelers.

I don't see us splitting with Oakland.

Not with Landry Jones at QB.

I do, especially if the playoffs are on the line.

Oakland isn't winning at Arrowhead this year, especially in late December, if the team continues to perform like it has the past two weeks.

Strongly disagree. With Big Ben you would be correct. With Landry Jones, you're not.

We have to go 8-0 the rest of the way. If we don't then we're just playing for pride. 10-6 wont cut it.

I think we were 3-4 pt favorites over the Steelers.

Agreed. That's why I said they must go 6-2 the 2nd half of the season to have a legit shot.

Not buying it. Today was a great matchup for the Chiefs. Lion's LB's and Safeties are awful...Chiefs ran a completely horizontal offense like they always do but it worked this week because the lions are so bad.

That shit won't work against Oakland.

Oakland is a bad matchup for KC.

I fully disagree. Oakland may be the most overrated team in the league.

Beating the 2-5 Ravens, 2-5 Browns and 2-5 Chargers isn't impressive. They're currently beating the 4-2 Jets but that's because they lost Ryan Fitzgerald and had to replace him with Geno Smith.

Mike Florio is already reporting that the Jets are making calls around the league for a QB and that Ryan Mallet is a possible target.

Their season is all but over.

Yeah, that's a good point.

The Raiders are curb stomping the Jets, and that ain't all because of Geno.

Thats the main reason why i'm worried about them. They aren't world beaters by any stretch of the imagination. But they are a bad matchup for us. Mainly because of their offense. They have the O line to almost completely nullify our pass rush, and we all know how our secondary looks when the pass rush isn't on point. They also have good running back to keep us honest. We can't play nickle and dime all game.

Not so sure about their defense though aside from two stud pass rushers.

Not worried at all about the Raiders.


Until their defense can play straight-up without blitzing they will be but a fart in the Grand Canyon.

The game's not over yet.

The point was that Oakland is overrated. So are the Jets, BTW. There's a lot of football left to be played.

Oakland has won only 3 games with at Pittsburgh, at Denver, Green Bay and at KC to worry about.

Good grief, Geno Smith is just horrible.

The Chiefs 3 wins are against a bad Houston team, a Steeler team playing with their 3rd string QB, and quite possibly the worst team in the league.

When you go homer, you go full Captain Homer.

ROFL:rolleyes:ROFL:rolleyes:

We're not going anywhere fellas.:shake:

Yep my friend, you are correct.

Oh look what turd just rolled in through the sewer pipe

All I'm saying is that IF the Chiefs continue to play like they did today and last week, they have a shot.

Their schedule is far from daunting and the rest of the AFC field, outside of Cincy and Denver, is average to below average.

I assume you mean ne and cincy.

And fwiw, the way big ben played today we would have been better off had he played last week.

I am not optimistic, but I will say that if this line can continue to improve and start to get some continuity, then there is a chance.

I also think that it's time to start Conley after the bye.

Yeah I was surprised Conley didn't earn more playing time after last week. Even when we got up big he didn't really get in until the very end.

Ridiculous..hope is beginning to come back. There's a good chance the Chiefs are just playing though. Hope = Heartbreak. Better than nothing though.

Yea I like Wilson, but he should be our slot guy. I would prefer to have Conley's size out there and he's a better fit accros from Maclin (especially with Alex at QB).

Leveon is injured. I'd say 50% chance if we beat Denver coming out of the bye.

We're a couple of incredibly stupid collapses from being 5-3.

that was my one issue today. Wish he would've been involved.

Hell, win the rest of them and get a wild card for all I give a ****.

But if they don't draft a QB, it's sweet freedom for me. If they do, the Chiefs are actually worth something in life.

WIN/WIN.

By the by, pithy, insignificant MU has no effect on me if I so wish to express my supreme righteousness.

It just takes patience.

And as a 25 year follower of this never ending, mediocre bag of shit franchise, I have patience in SPADES.

My homer glasses are getting clouldy which watching the Donkeys play the Packers. Its the middle of the 2nd quarter and all the Packer fans in the room are in shock being down 14-0.

OK. going into Mile High and winning in two weeks may be tough.

Did Chokeland lose? We have 2 left against them.

Looking at the standings more carefully it comes down to us, Bills, Steelers, and Raiders fighting for 2 spots. We have the tiebreaker on Pitt and need to win both games against the Raiders. Pitt's without Leveon for 2-3 weeks with a game against the Raiders and Seahawks coming up; we own the tie on them. Bills return Tyrod Taylor soon and will play against us, I pin them the favorites to take 1 of the 2 wild card positions and should go on to beat the Jets twice.

So...It's still possible.

Did you watch their D try to tackle today.

Remember when we tried to stop Tiki Barber from running against us that one time?

Why wait? No one's holding you down.
