You know, I get that the love affair with the Chargers has more to do with that coast they are on rather than real actual stats. But it just baffles me how they continue to make this pick year after year. After all this time, stats should mean something. I mean shit, look at Andy Reids division record in both the AFC West and the NFC East. The dude knows how to own divisional opponents. Then the fact that the Chiefs have beaten the Chargers 9 of the last 10 meetings.

Good for them. Chargers need to win SOMEthing once and a while.
Most pundits had KC missing the playoffs entirely last year. C'mon. |

Chargers are the 2-horse in this divisional race... Mahomes is a beast and one of a kind. Not sure if he can consistently tear through the season on the pace he had in 2018, but there's no reason to doubt it at this point.

Then start pimping P.Rivers again, of course he will forget to mention that Rivers has never thrown 35 TDs in a season ever. |

I was just thinking this morning how great this year is going to be in the AFCW
Chiefs are the team to beat and have a generational franchise QB Denver has a good Defense and added a presumably great defensive minded HC. With solid QB play from Flacco they should be a good team as much as I hate to admit Sandiego went 12-4 last year and got a little better in the offseason. They are the only team in the AFCW to beat the Chiefs the last few years . Oakland got better and very interesting signing Brown and Terrel and if 100 million dollar coach and draft Guru Maycock are worth their salt they should be competitive. With all that said , somebody has to finish last and right now I'd pick Denver. |

I think it's entirely likely that Mahomes will throw 35-40 TD's this season.
Anyone who says that's 'regression' has lost all sense of objectivity. The defense will be improved. There should be fewer shoot-outs. Personally, I think it's going to be a pretty dramatic difference, barring catastrophic injury. If the RB situation stays healthy, there should be more stability in that group. There will be games in which we ground it out in the second half, eating clock and putting opponents away. Add to that the teams that will go run-heavy, ball-control in attempts to keep the ball away from Patrick, and we're likely to see some lower scoring games. The first half of last season, teams tried to force Patrick to beat them (and he did). He ran up some gaudy numbers while teams learned that lesson. |

If you guys have paid attention, Belichick is building a solid running game to benefit Brady in his old age.
The Chiefs have prioritized building a run defense this offseason. The only team we need to focus on beating is NE. I just hope we are also putting emphasis on penaltys. Getting rid of Nelson and Ford was a step in the right direction as well as making Cam Erving a backup. |

We still have to play some good QB's so dismissing that we won't have any shootouts is a big leap of faith in the defense. And when has Mahomes only throw for 35 TD's in a season as a starter? You would probably have to go back to Pee Wee ball. He should hit 35 TD's with 6 games left to play, giving him a great shot at 50 again. |

Of course, the other guys get paid too; and we'll see some quality offenses. I just think our defense won't be the 2018 "Red Carpet" defense. If your defense can shut down the opponent when they're forced to go one dimensional, you can run the clock out with your rushing attack. It's not Martyball if you're up three scores. Why would you risk getting Patrick killed taking unnecessary hits? A more balanced team will probably mean fewer shoot-outs. It's not rocket science. I think we'll have more rushing TD's than last year, too. |
