After the amazing game they had against Atlanta, is it feasible for them to make a run? Can they beat the Colts next week? Playoff hopes still alive?

I think they can make the playoffs. I don't think that they can lose more than one more game however. I predict that they will make the playoffs, and win the Super Bowl, even in the face of adversity. We will beat Indianapolis, and we will beat New England. We will not be IGNORED!

Wow, ive never heard such an outrageous claim

Good luck though....

I guess stranger things have happened...

I don't know about winning their division, but I think they have a decent shot at winning the wildcard if their D can step it up and not blow any games. That assumes Holmes stays healthy and that his ankle doesn't become a problem.

I think the Chiefs can finish a 10-6 team, losing to Indy and NE. I just can't see them winning the division - unless Denver blows a game, they should finish with 11 or 12 wins, and they have the tiebreakers over the Chiefs.

A lot of it is out of their control, though. If NE, NYJ, Jacksonville, and Indy all continue to play well, they may get shut out even with 10 wins, similar to last years Dolphins.

While Priest is an asset, our Offensive Line is what really made last week special. After all, we scored more rushing touchdowns than ever before . . . Priest with 4 Blaylock with 4. All of which were against the "Number 1 ranked rushing defense in the NFL". I think we are just now finding our groove.

There's a better chance of the chiefs making the playoffs than going to the super bowl, but then again anything can happen.

Jay_Jay

ahem... duh!

Chiefs will make the playoffs depending on which defense shows up, we need the one that played the Falcons and Ravens. The offense can take care of itself, special teams need to step up, but I think we have a realistic chance of getting into the post season.

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.

The way the Raiders are playing and I don't think Bolts will make it very far, Cheifs have hope for wild card.

EDIT: ^ lol, how wrong was I...although Cheifs defense is the sole reason for their misery.

FailedEagle

I still think that Denver is about to take a huge fall. After all, did anyone watch the Monday night game?

nottwood

I follow the Chiefs and I believe they do have a chance to make the playoffs. They can't beat New England as of yet. Although I believe New England will crash eventually. Chiefs have good offense, and the defense might be coming around. They need to get to .500 first, then win some important games.

FailedEagle

So, after we beat the Colts, and then (a few weeks later) take on New England, When we win both of those games, will it make believer's out of you? The spread on Indy vs. KC is 2 points. 2 POINTS! After the win last week, and the Colts loss, coming too Arrowhead where the defense fell apart last year in the playoffs. I don't see KC as losing.

aerozeppelin

Indy won last year in Arrowhead. If KC beats NE and Indy, then I'll put good money on them to take the division. If they take one of the two, I think they have a good shot at winning the divison. I personally think that they have a good chance to beat NE - NE has at best average rush defense, lacks a truly stout frount 7 (bet they wish they had Ted Washington still...), and their offense (esp. wide recievers) always overachieves. If the KC secondary can shut them down (which is possible if they overachieve) then I think KC wins, b/c NE's illegal physical play with wideouts won't have much effect against a power running game.

I don't think KC can beat Indy though. Peyton is too precise, Marvin Harrison is still looking for a breakout game, and their WR corp is just too deep. Plus, they have Edge running the ball, so you can't just focus on the pass.

FailedEagle

Not much needed to be added. Their actions spoke louder than my words ever could.

DDDDave

Hey Eagle,

What's the word around KC re: this weekends game?

Does everybody think the Chefs will rush for 8 TD's and win by three points?

We're hoping to have a couple of injured guys back and sure hope you girls take it easy on us.

Just had to talk a little smack since you brought up the Chefs.
We have the #2 defense in the league. Held the Priest to less than 100yds and knocked him out of the game in the third quarter. Forced three turnovers and didn't commit any ourselves.
We're the team headed to the playoffs. When we can beat Atlanta this week, we are only two games back with 7 to play.

Also a picture from my seat at Sundays game.

Final Score TAMPA BAY BUCS - 34, kc chiefs - 31

what is our deal. . . Our DEFENSE can't seem to do shit. I Enjoy watching them going after the QB more often but come on. Every time they do they give up a huge play. So now the question is, can we/will we still make the playoffs? What do we do in the off season? Pick up a corner . . . . free saftey? What type of personal changes do we "have" to make. I'm just frusterated.

Has anyone else heard the rumors of KC picking up Ty Law? ? Wow! How huge would that be?!

I feel sorry for anyone who is a Chiefs fans...he all are used to disapointment..huh.

Ilow

Law is great, I've seen him for years, but he is not worth giving up half your salary cap for. Don't get me wrong, he plays hard, plays hurt, is a team player, a big game player and a winner, but no player is worth it if the rest of the team is devalued as a result. Besides, the Pats proved you can win without him, it's just not as easy.

If we could trade for him? I don't think he's going to be asking that much from all teams, I could be wrong, and I'd be more than happy giving up most of our defense and starting over in the draft . . . honestly. I have yet to decide . . I mean really decide if we could even give away Holmes or even Tony G. for him.

Just my 2 cents
