Do you think we still win the division?

I think KC would have to make a lot of mistakes to lose to the Giants or Pittsburgh.

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but if KC loses to a team it's technically a team they 'couldnt beat'...I listed those teams that KC most likely loses this year.

I dont think losses to Pitt or NYG is all that improbable. Quite likely, in fact.

C’mon, you are way smarter than this. Just because team A beats team B on any given Sunday does not mean team A is the better team or that team A will even be favored in a rematch.

I think the term is 'Any given Sunday'...sometimes the 'better' team does not win.

I'm not saying KC wasnt the better team, instead I'm saying their play currently doesnt indicate to me they're going to win the games I listed.

I think turnovers will regress to the mean (fewer than the first 4 games) and Andy will not harness the offense in order to eek out a win. I also think somehow Spags gets more out of the defense down the stretch.

Why do you think those two are likely?

Personally, I think this team will make the doomsayers look kind of foolish by the end of the year. I see them ultimately becoming much more balanced than they are currently, and I see the offense becoming a complete juggernaut.

For Pittsburgh, you might recall the last time KC played in Pittsburgh, they almost got to a 35-0 lead and barely walked out of there with a win. Pitt roasted KC's defense to catch up and ultimately get within one score. If KC doesnt get to get a 4-5 TD lead in their next game, I dont like the potential outcome.

As for NYG...i read the schedule wrong...see my next post.

Frankly, they could lose to the Wooft...but I'm not willing to go that far.

As for NYG, KC has won like 2-3 times in NY since the 60's...they always play their worst games in NY. Dont know why, but since this team has shown no ability to blow teams out, I figure he chances of a loss in NY likely.

Frankly, they could lose to the Wooft...but I'm not willing to go that far.

We just blew out the Eagles today.

4 games in but it sounds like the season is over for you. Maybe listening to too much Petro and Adam Teicher? Best wishes.

'blew out'...is a relative term and if you want to call what you saw a 'blow out', I'm not going to convince you otherwise.

Didnt say the season is over, I said the team playing the way it is shows me nothing to indicate SB caliber and frankly more frustrating losses.

I dont know what a Petro is and never heard or read Adam Teicher...just my watching this team for 30 years...this team has a SB hangover and it's evident.

Last year they weren't beating teams by enough.

In 2019, they were 6-4 with that ugly loss against the Titans in November.

In 2018, the defense sucked.

And I guess our spoiled asses can point to "only" one Super Bowl victory in that time along with hosting 3 AFCCGs and winning 2... guess I just don't understand why people choose pessimism over optimism with this team after decades of no hope at all.

Maybe we are spoiled...dunno...it has been a great run so far.

I've watched this team suck the ever lasting suck year after year after year for the better part of 30 years. I've watched absolutely soul crushing playoff losses and stuck around. Forgive me if my PTSD as a Chiefs fan causes me to pause and think that this team might be regressing slightly.

I think I'm entitled to at least say that this defense looks eerily similar to one that we saw in 2003. It ****ing horrible and there's no indication of anything changing.

I want the team to make another run, but if they make Jalen Hurts look like Johnny Unitas, they've got problems.
