AFC Picture after Week 7

tk13 · 10-22-2006, 05:16 PM

Let's look at our ever-muddled AFC picture as action in week 7 ends.

1 - Indianapolis 6-0
2 - Denver 5-1
3 - New England 5-1
4 - Cincinnati 4-2

5 - Baltimore 4-2
6 - San Diego 4-2

New York Jets 4-3
Jacksonville 3-3
Kansas City 3-3

How about those Jets, I guess. None of those teams still look particularly appealing, at least compared to past years. There's a long way to go, but that Steelers loss today hurts, they might have to go 8-2 the rest of the way to have a chance now.

I don't see Baltimore or the Jets finishing stronger than 9-7. They just don't have the talent to win week in and week out....

Yeah I really think we helped ourselves today with teams like Jacksonville and Cincy losing.

Cincy won.

It is going to be a tough road to get into the playoffs

Chiefs control their own destiny, we have 3 of those teams left at Arrowhead and one on the road.

Doh!! that'll teach me from to not stop watching the games after the Chiefs play.

Indy's next two games are @ Denver and @ New England. We'll see what all three of those top teams are really made of. That could really turn it into a giant muddled mess at the top. Cincy still has to play Denver and Indy later on too. I'm not sure 13-3 won't get homefield this year, which is probably more "normal" anyway. All these top teams are going to beat up on each other.

**DaKCMan AP** · 10-22-2006, 05:36 PM

If we're still in contention at that point, 3 out of our last 4 games are against Baltimore, San Diego and Jax. We'll have a lot of control over our destiny.

**cdcox** · 10-22-2006, 05:36 PM

We need to win our home games. If we do that we have a 77% chance of making the playoffs.

**Rain Man** · 10-22-2006, 05:39 PM

I'm annoyed that the Cincinnati Latehitters got a win today.

RINGLEADER · 10-22-2006, 05:40 PM

I think you're going to see Baltimore and San Diego fade over the next month. Denver may also stumble unless they can find a way to score more than 17 points. Their offense is as bad as their defense is good and that's going to hurt them eventually.

I think the Chiefs have a GREAT shot of going 7-3 or even 8-2 down the stretch. Outside of the Chargers in San Diego I think ALL of our remaining games are winnable.

That Jax loss helps us out a lot IMO

We need to win next week, if we are 4-3 and get Welbourn and Trent back, I'll be excited.

chiefbowe82 · 10-22-2006, 06:37 PM

If hasselbeck is out next week we go 4-3

That and we have to play Jax the last week of the season. That could be interesting. I do think Baltimore is in danger of fading badly.

Hammock Parties · 10-22-2006, 07:05 PM

Baltimore will most likely fade away, because their offense really isnt any good. Steve Mcnair was an upgrade for them, but not enough of one to make much of a difference at all.
