ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Chiefs Could someone post next year's schedule? It looks brutal, so

It's still way early to even guess, really.

The draft is still a long ways away, our defensive staff still isn't set, hell we don't even know what scheme we'll be running.

We still have a lot of needs, and Pioli seems intent on building the back-end of the roster through FA and focusing on the draft for starters. It's actually a little puzzling since it seems like a long-term strategy, yet we trade for a 27 year old QB which seems like a "win-now" approach.

The Chargers still have the most talented roster in our division. How many draft picks do they have, seems like they traded their 2nd and mayber 3rd round picks away last year, didn't they? I'd have to look that up to verify.

The Raiders seem intent on upgrading their line, which IMO is bad news for us since that's what has held back that offense mostly (other than Fatmarcus)...a lot of their outlook will depend on his offseason. If he shows up fat and out of shape again, then they will struggle again even if they fine-tune that running game, which I expect they're focusing on.

The Broncos are hard to figure out. They seem to be in disarray, but really I think it's Josh changing the culture of the locker room, much like what Haley is doing with his interaction with Waters. "I'm the boss, I run the show, I'll let you know what the plan is when I'm ready, and everyone on this team is subject to losing their job / status with this team." Mike Nolan is a very good defensive coach, although they are missing a lot of components for him to work with. The aging players they've signed may give him some help next year, but I don't see any of them as long-term assets. Nevertheless, they have reshaped that roster quite a bit.

And the schedule is brutal having to play the NFC East and AFC North.
