Chiefs It's 2am...Direckshun, let's talk football - Page 2

KurtCobain · 08-03-2011, 01:10 AM

Dude, I think we could go deep in the playoffs. Really deep. I think the Pats could be a good matchup for us, and we could get past them. I also think a huge in-season statement game will be beating the pats on MNF. So if we ended with the 3rd seed, in theory I think we'd get a team like the Jags, Houston, Jets or Ravens. Maybe Chargers. We could beat these guys, take the Pats out, then it's just maybe Pit or Bal standing in our way.

I have a new found confidence in Cassel. I think he'll being himself to a top performance in the playoffs this year after easily winning the AFC West. (I doubt SD, Oak, Or Den go more than 8-8).

Direckshun · 08-03-2011, 01:33 AM

The odds I give each game.

Bills -- 90% Chiefs win
@Lions -- 40% Chiefs win
@Chargers -- 50% Chiefs win
Vikings -- 60% Chiefs win
@Colts -- 30% Chiefs win
bye
@Raiders -- 55% Chiefs win
Chargers -- 25% Chiefs win
Dolphins -- 75% Chiefs win
Broncos -- 90% Chiefs win
@Patriots -- 10% Chiefs win
Steelers -- 20% Chiefs win
@Bears -- 35% Chiefs win
@Jets -- 1% Chiefs win
Packers -- 30% Chiefs win
Raiders -- 60% Chiefs win
@Broncos -- 60% Chiefs win

So if the Chiefs play up to my expectations, that's seven games they should win, and a 50/50 game. If they can get an upset here or there, that lands them a good 9-7 season.

Yup.

No game planning?

No stretching?

Buddy, you're comparing apples to apple orchards.

Direckshun · 08-03-2011, 01:37 AM

It's really not that bad of a schedule until the last seven games of the year.

Then the stretch gets absolutely brutal in some really tough places to play.

We'll need to steal a game in there somewhere for me to feel encouraged by the direction this team is headed.

KurtCobain · 08-03-2011, 01:39 AM

40% on the Lions? Why is everybody rising them so hard?

1 % on the Jets? Yeah right, that's our matchup. You know we would've stood a MUCH greater chance against NY in the playoffs. And my money says Sanchez gets to comfortable and takes a few steps back this year.

The Lions have built a playoff-caliber team. They're legit, especially that front 7. As long as Stafford stays healthy (which is hardly a sure thing), they could win 10 games.

KurtCobain · 08-03-2011, 01:42 AM

I'm really sitting here not understanding how you don't see 4-0 probably 5-0.

Bills -- W
@Lions -- L
@Chargers -- L
Vikings -- W
@Colts -- W
bye
@Raiders -- L
Chargers -- W
Dolphins -- W
Broncos -- W
@Patriots -- L
Steelers -- L
@Bears -- W
@Jets -- L
Packers -- L
Raiders -- W
@Broncos -- W

That's how I see it shaping up... 9-7 and good enough to win the division again.

Well we were never paired to play the Jets in any conceivable situation. It was either going to be the Ravens visiting us, or the Colts. And I would have taken the Colts any day of the week, but we got our asses handed to us by the Raiders in Week 17 and here comes the Ravens.

I'd give us a less-than-equal chance of beating the Lions on the road. Our team will still be gelling, the Lions don't have to put up with nearly that much. The QB, the RB, the WRs, and tackles are still the same. And Suh will chew up everyone he lines up against -- although I think Asamoah's really nasty attitude could be our best chance against him.

The Jets game. Forget it. We do not have the elite talent needed to function against that defense. Their offense is the exact kind of offense we struggle against, too -- a grind it out offense that wears down our defensive line.

Once we get more proven and experienced talent on the DL, especially at the nose position, these teams will grind us down. Fortunately, I think brighter days are ahead as soon as our talent develops there, but it won't develop overnight.

We can't beat Manning in Indy. Period.

Conceivable.

KurtCobain · 08-03-2011, 01:48 AM

The Colts won their division, we couldn't play them. Had we beat the Raiders, we would've played the jets.

KurtCobain · 08-03-2011, 01:49 AM

I really think we take at New England. Matt then gets fined for middle finger fiasco.

Well then we lose either way.

We signed a starting WR five days before the game, Kurt.

That's a fair point. Revis shuts down bowe and we're screwed. Okay.

But not this year. Hali and our secondary will make Sanchez shit his pants on a whole new level. That kid is ****ed when he sees us. The Brandons and Berry will be on fire and Hali in such a rythm he should probably just stay home. And we have more than Bowe this year. Not to mention Charles. Jamaal ****ing Charles. That guy.
