Call your shot: Way too early predictions thread
 

With the schedule released let's get some early predictions in based off the current structure of the roster.

1. Chiefs record? [Poll incoming]

2. Do we make the playoffs, if so what round?

3. What rookie will preform the best + what PLAYER will underperform the most?

4. Any other comments or way too early predictions?

1. 13-4. Losses: @TB, @LAC, @DEN, @LV (resting starters)
2. Yes, AFC West Champs, 1 Seed, Super Bowl Champs
3. Best Rookie: Moore, Underperforming Player: Hardman (really tough call. I think Moore is better than we realize, so Hardman’s production won’t be what we expect)
4. Chiefs will only have 1 1,000-yard receiver, but 5 others with at least 600 yards

12-5. We have to go beat Buffalo at their stadium in January, and we AGAIN knock them out of the playoffs. We’re going back to the SB.

1. 12-5
2. Super Bowl Champs baby
3. Best Rookie: Bryan Cook; underperform: Skyy Moore (only because Andy asks a lot of his receivers, so his production won't be crazy, especially early) -- i was thinking rookies only here -- so underperforming -- Juan Thornhill
4. Offense is more balanced than last year and is, therefore, better overall and tougher to stop. Defense makes huge strides as the season goes on and ends up a top half of the league defense. Buffalo will win home field advantage but will lose in the divisional round to Miami, allowing KC to host it's 5th consecutive AFCCG

I'm thinking similarly to you with a couple differences.

I feel that we will beat TB because F Brady. Our losses might not all be from the AFC West, but they have the best chance to do it as they get us twice.

I think the Chiefs will have two receivers with 1,000 yards... one will just be a TE!

12-5.

Somewhere between 12-5 & 13-4; some early growing pains however I have faith that they will work things out.

12-5. Losses to the Bucs, Bills, Chargers, Rams and Bengals.

Yes we make the playoffs. AFC Champs but it takes a win over the Raiders in the last game to edge out the Chargers. We end up as the 3 seed after the Bills and Bengals.

Kinnard wins and holds down the RT spot all season long….solidifying the offensive line. Fenton loses his job midway through the season after going back to looking average.

Went 11-6 for now. I think we'll have some early season lumps we have to endure as the offense/defense gets used to playing together.

We should be playing our best football by December, and that's the most important thing.

11-6

17-0 SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!!!!! ALL THE OTHER TEAMS COMMIT SUICIDE

11-6

I'm going low this year in hopes of being surprised. I know we don't like to think of it as a rebuilding year, but our schedule is brutal out of the gate, and there will probably be some growing pains as we figure out the "new" offense (not to mention that we're relying pretty heavily on some rookies on defense).

1. 10-7

2. As a wildcard. Make it to the AFCCG though

3. McDuffie / Clark

4. Mahomes still looks like the best QB in the league

11-6

Defense starts slow and struggles early bc of so much turnover and youth but starts showing improvement as seals goes on. Barely win division, lose in divisional to Buffalo or Cincy but show a lot of promise for 2023 and beyond
