Playoffs?

[Gaz]

If I based my vote strictly on the first [2] games, I would have voted no. We have looked staggeringly bad. A team without its starting WR & RB ripped through our D and our O has yet to show up for even half of a game. The past two weeks have been pretty bleak.

But I believe the D will continue to improve [baby steps, but improvement nonetheless] and I believe Saunders will get his feces together and call a better game. The D has made some stops. If the O gets rolling at all, this team can win some games.

Might be wearing those rosy glasses again.

I believe that, barring injuries, the O will rebound to approx. what they were last year.

I think the D will continue to show some improvement in the next several weeks--and here's where it gets tricky: Sooner or later--sooner, IMO--the defense is going to hit a *glass ceiling* due to limitations of talent and speed. Now, how many wins can we get before then?

Lastly, starting the final week of November, we play our division rivals five of the last six contests. If we can sweep through our AFCW rivals late in the season--and maybe win that MNF game at Tennessee in Dec--we could bullrush right into a AFCW Championship...

That's about as optimistic as it gets 'round these parts.

Barring more injuries? Damn! I think we have enough right now to put us in serious trouble. Kennison is questionable, Holmes is questionable, Gonzo isn't 100%, Morton isn't full strength, Wilson is out, Boerighter is out, and after Houston we go to Baltimore, thankfully have a BYE, go to Jacksonville, and have Atlanta and the Colts comming into Arrowhead.

Houstons defense is a top 15 defense, and Baltimore and Jax are about as good as they come. All three are probably licking their chops to get a shot at us right now. The other two don't have great defenses, but it may take 49 points per game to outscore those two.

Now the offense may rebound to what they were last year. But by the time everybody injured right now is healed up, it may be to late.

My choice of words was poor. I should have said 'assuming we heal up from injuries'...

I doubt if Holmes injury is serious enough that he misses more than one game--if he doesn't play Sunday.

Kennison--I hope he's back soon. The WR corps is absolutely nothing w/o someone to stretch the field w/ speed. I trust the Chiefs FO when they say TG's ailment won't affect his on-the-field play. It doesn't look like it has so far, IMO.

All we ccan do is hope that Morton gets in synch with Green soon. I certainly am wishing a speedy recovery for Wilson. He could add another dimension to this O the 2nd half of the season.

IOW, I don't think the offense will be the deciding factor in whether the Chiefs see the post-season...

I'm with you on the first part. Not so sure on the Gonzo part. He sure isn't getting open very often. Even in 1-on-1 coverage from LB's.
