Chiefs 2010 Schedule Looks Easier, Less Blackout Friendly

It's difficult to determine what is and isn't an easy schedule since the balance of power so often changes in the NFL. Nevertheless, the Chiefs 2010 schedule looks easier as of now.

Here's the schedule:

Home: Denver, Oakland, San Diego, Arizona, Buffalo, Jacksonville, San Francisco, Tennessee

Away: Denver, Oakland, San Diego, Cleveland, Houston, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Seattle

The Chiefs play their division twice, the NFC West and AFC South and the last place teams in the AFC North and AFC East.

Here are a few initial thoughts on our opponents:

Not blackout friendly

This season the Chiefs had the Cowboys and Steelers on the home schedule which was very blackout friendly. These two teams tend to draw more visitors than any others in the country. Add the Giants to that mix and you've got a pretty strong home schedule.

This time, though, there's no big draw for the teams visiting Kansas City.

Less playoff teams

The Chiefs played 6/16 games against eventual playoff teams.

In 2010, the Chiefs will play just four games against teams that made the playoffs this season.

Charles and Flowers are turning into stars

I haven't seen a corner as physical as flowers in awhile. He put his helmet right on a ball yesterday on a tight end. Getting a good corner that still hits is rare.

I wish we could play the NFC West every year.

it sucks when your soft schedule doesn't even look that soft. 6-10 Season.

Dick Vermeil approves this schedule

I smell a 12-4 season :)

...then let's plan to slaughter the Colts at the AFC Championship as a sacrifice for a SB win. :evil:

Broncos
Home: Kansas City, Oakland, San Diego, Houston, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Seattle, N.Y. Jets
Away: Kansas City, Oakland, San Diego, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Arizona, San Francisco, Baltimore

I'm fully expecting another 5-7 wins early and a bottom out towards the end!
