Are you still holding out hope for the playoffs?

...Just curious.

patteeu · 12-08-2006, 07:27 AM

Until our next loss, I'll be optimistic. If we lose one, I'll be pessimistic but still hopeful. Any more than that and I'll give up all hope.

Chief Chief · 12-08-2006, 07:38 AM

We'd definitely need help from other teams at this point to squeeze into the #6 slot since our conference record is so poor. Even then, we'd be on the road to begin the play-offs, so it would be "one, done, wasn't any fun"...

I'm hoping the Chiefs wake up and smell the coffee, continue their losing ways, and move up to a much higher selecting spot in next year's draft.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 12-08-2006, 07:40 AM

Same as patteeu... if we don't go 4-0 I think we're done without serious help from other teams.

**Bugeater** · 12-08-2006, 07:41 AM

I think Halfcan has a better chance of scoring with that chick than the Chiefs do of making the playoffs.

Chiefnj · 12-08-2006, 07:58 AM

I think it's possible primarily because the other wild cards teams are just as inconsistent as KC. Denver will struggle with a new QB. Jax is just as inconsistent as KC and is also a poor road team. Cincy's D is looking improved, but I think they are still much like the 2003 Chiefs. The Jets probably have the best shot because of their schedule, but they are still the Jets and if there is a way to blow the organization will.

Deberg_1990 · 12-08-2006, 07:59 AM

Nope. no hope. I think we end up 9-7 overall.

Even if they manage to backdoor themselves into the playoffs, its a 1 and done deal.

Sorry, im not more optimistic, im just callin it like ive seen it for the past 18 years or so...

So for the 17 prior to Carl's arrival you were all optimisiic and rah-rah, but the second he showed up it was all doom and gloom? OK.

**Easy 6** · 12-08-2006, 08:06 AM

I'm still hopeful, but its a queasy kind of hopeful. Deep down i feel like i'm waiting for next year.

Nothing says IF like needing 2 or 3 other teams to lose a few games.

Thats not a very good indicator of playoff success.

I tell you what, I'm a whole lot more worried about the Chiefs being able to win 3 of their last 4 than I am about the other teams screwing up. These teams are all 7-5 because they are average, 'cept for maybe the Bengals, who I think just went into a mid-season slump.

KC Jones · 12-08-2006, 08:10 AM

Absolutely not. If we can't take the Browns on the road I see little to no chance of us winning 3+ of our remaining schedule:

Ravens
@San Diego
@Oakland
Jax

We may very well go 1-3 down that stretch.

Maybe we can give the Ravens some GHB.

NaptownChief · 12-08-2006, 08:12 AM

Our defense appears to be a pretty big joke. Cleveland for all practical purposes has been shut out two of their last three games yet laid 31 on the Chiefs. When you give up 31 to an offense that is so pitiful that they struggle to even score a single point against the other teams sandwiching our game lets you know about all you need.

InChiefsHeaven · 12-08-2006, 08:16 AM

Of course I hope we make the playoffs. I have to, I'm a Chiefs fan. That said, I don't see us sniffing the second round, but just to make the playoffs after everything that has happened this season is enough for me.
