You'll have to get by my Bucs first. Week 9 at our house.
I think a lot of teams are at the same point now. It is easier to gauge the strength of the remainder of the schedule now that 7 weeks have gone by. Who are the contenders and the pretenders. KC 2-4, Tenn. 2-5, Bucs 2-5, Carolina 1-5. These four are all teams who everyone predicted would be better than their current record indicates. Knowing how this league works they will all end up a game or two around .500.
My Bucs have had a rough go. Injuries have hurt (Mike Alstott blew out his MCL last week, out for a month) but that seems to happen to all teams. It seems like coaching will have a lot to do with the final records now. Who can get the most out of the remaining players and games. For the record though, for the remainder of the season the Bucs only play two teams with winning records. KC is not one of them
Gonna be interesting to watch and to answer your post, no I don't think KC will make the playoffs. Denver will win the division, KC's record will not be enough for a wild card.
