...Reviewing the season, Gates brought up the opening-night loss to the Chiefs, and the continued success of the Patriots, who won at San Diego en route to becoming the AFC's top seed.

Kansas City's victory, fueled in part by a few 2010 draftees, "gave the Chiefs that confidence and that motivation of, 'Look, we beat the Chargers, we can beat a lot of teams,' " Gates said. "To me, had they not won that game, their season would not have turned out the same."

A Pro Bowl regular, Gates also praised the Patriots for an efficient brand of ball, contrasting a Chargers team that lost nine fumbles more than it recovered.

"They haven't thrown an interception in forever," he said. "That means they're taking care of the football, and I think that's a start for any team -- taking care of the football. And special teams are phenomenal for the Patriots."

Burnett said he probably will not watch the playoffs. Rivers and center Nick Hardwick said they will watch because they might learn something that could help the Chargers next year.

"I will definitely watch the Jets and Colts game," Gates said. "And I will watch the Chiefs game."

Gates said he believes another AFC West team might have fared better than the Chiefs will fare.

Surprisingly, the other AFC West team he mentioned was not the Chargers, but another San Diego rival whose recent drafts are paying off.

"Personally, no disrespect to the Chiefs, I think the Raiders (8-8) would have represented the AFC West better, if I had to take a pick of who I wanted to go," Gates said. "Because the Chiefs are still pretty young. They're a young team. They're talented, but they are a young team. But, they played tremendous this year."

I have a feeling that the days leading up to your playoff game will be a lot more enjoyable for Chiefs fans than the days after it.

Just for the record, the Raiders only won 3 games against teams with a record better than 8-8. Us and San Diego. Obviously, we can't play ourselves, so we had fewer possibilities to win against winning teams. The Raiders also lost to Tennessee, Arizona, and San Francisco - three bad teams that we beat.

The entire division played a weak schedule this year. I'm not sure why people keep acting like that's the reason we are in the playoffs is the weak schedule when we all play essentially the same schedule.

ToxSocks · 01-04-2011, 02:44 PM

wow. So many HATERS. I never thought i'd see so many haters. The Chiefs put together their first good season in 4 years and the haters are out in full force. I can't believe there are so many haters. I can't believe I had to use the word Hater so many times in one post.

sigh.

**** YOU GATES I HOPE YOUR ****ING FOOT FALLS OFF FROM SOME SORT OF ****ED UP INFECTION.

he doesn't watch any games...he doesn't know who is good or bad

It's entirely possible. But I tell ya, I've had a great time these last couple weeks, and I'm incredibly excited for the game on Sunday. Win or lose, it's gonna be fun, and none of the haters can take that away.

At this point, you're just deliberately being an idiot. You should probably take some time away from here to reset your brain.

Hey, web dude? Sales guy here.

Where do the Chiefs rank in all the playoff teams with regard to beating teams with winning records?

We played a similar schedule but instead of playing Baltimore (like Denver did) you guys played the Browns and instead of playing the Jets (like Denver did) you guys played the Bills.

It'd be interesting to know, for sure. Unfortunately, I don't know of any easy way to figure that out without looking at it manually.

That's what pisses me off.

Charger fans walk around here all day yapping about how we played a soft schedule. They cant comprehend that WE PLAYED THE SAME ****ING SCHEDULE aside from TWO games. One being the ****ing Bengals.

Get bent AFCW, you crybabies.

Boo ****ing hoo. You played TWO different games. I guess that explains your 4 win record. **** off.

So, if we concede those two wins for Denver and losses for KC, Kansas City is 8-8, and Denver is 6-10. What does that change?
