Road to repeat in the AFC West

The Chiefs’ 2011 schedule presents plenty of stumbling blocks to another division title.

Division teams
(will play home and away)

•Denver (4-12)

•Oakland (8-8)

•San Diego (9-7)

The skinny: The Chiefs were 2-4 in the division in 2010 and were outscored 154-90. They were blown out at Denver (49-29) and San Diego (31-0) and at home against Oakland (31-10) in the season finale, their

second loss to the Raiders.

Playoff teams
•at Chicago (11-5)

•Green Bay (10-6)

•at Indianapolis (10-6)

•at New England (14-2)

•at New York Jets (11-5)

•Pittsburgh (12-4)

The skinny: The Chiefs beat only one playoff team in 2010, Seattle, which finished the regular season 7-9. In 2010, the Chiefs lost 19-9 at Indianapolis but did not play the other five.

OTHER OPPONENTS
•Buffalo (4-12)

•at Detroit (6-10)

•Miami (7-9)

•Minnesota (6-10)

The skinny:The Chiefs needed all 15 minutes of overtime to beat the Bills 13-10 this season and did not play the other three teams. KC has a winning overall record against the Vikings and Lions but a losing record against the Dolphins.

Don't you guys think that, if we plug in just a few, solid players at key positions, we would substantially improve?

Say ... NT, Rush Backer, WR, ... something like that?

What I can't figure out is why KC most ALWAYS has to go to Indy???

Honestly, IF we can improve within the division, we could make up for the tougher schedule. That's what I'd concentrate on.

Them road games are ****ing crazy. I think we could take one or two big boys in a close match, but we'll give an easy one up at home as weel as a couple on the road, I'm thinking 10-6 again, maybe a couple of games less. Is 9 or 10 games enough to win the division next year? Not sure.

Also, I want a home playoff game so bad next year, what are the odds then playoff scheme gets changed in the CBA or whatever because of the Seahawks?

Calling 11-5 or 12-4

2nd or 3rd seed in the playoffs...

I admire your optimism, but this team didnt exactly leave the season on a high note. We have several off season issues that we better address. We need another Pass rusher, we need another receiver, a new RT and another LB. Not to mention we dont know who is going to be our OC.

We have a tuff as **** schedule nxt season! If we make the playoffs the second time around, it will be because we earned it! We will also be a battle tested team! Hopefully thats the case.
