Chiefs Do you think we still win the division?

Of course! I mean what is this teams goal? If they limp into the playoffs playing this kind of shit football, they dont move forward. THAT's my point!

Eh, at minimum we're probably still talking about the AFCCG... and like I said, they don't have to be top 15 or top 20 or top 25, they just have to be better than complete shit and they're competing for another SB victory.

That's what happened in 2018.

Given this team's performance thus far, I would be ecstatic with that. So far, they've been complete shit on defense...especially redzone. If that doesnt change, I fail to see how KC makes it to the AFCCG.

They can outscore anyone. That's why they can make the AFCCG.

In Baltimore, they were on cruise control throughout much of the 2nd half. They seemed content with a double digit lead, both players and coaches. When the lead unexpectedly slipped away, they got serious again and began to methodically slice down the field on the final drive for the win. Then the unlikely fumble.

Last week, I think most of us agree that if you take away two or three careless mistakes, they win comfortably. Hell, if you just take away the questionable 4th down penalty, they probably win.

4-0 vs a tough schedule would have everybody feeling good about this team, regardless of defensive flaws. Obviously, these things happened and they didn't get it done, but history tells us that those problems aren't likely to continue. The offense generally closes games out well and mistakes are uncommon.

To lose the turnover battle 4-0 but still be in a position to beat a quality QB like Herbert was pretty impressive, to be honest.
