AFC West schedule comparisons
 

Interesting things to think about....

Chargers have 2 games left against under .500 teams
Broncos have 3 games left against under .500 teams (+1 against Buffalo)
Chiefs have 4 games games left against under .500 teams (+1 against Buffalo)

Crazy thing is, the Titans are the only team the Chiefs have played so far that is under .500. If Denver wins today (and they probably will), that means the Chiefs have played 4 out of 6 games against teams that are 5-2. That's nuts to think the Chiefs are 3-3 right now, especially given the string of bad luck they've had.

PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL

Win those games against the shit teams, that's 7 wins. Beat buffalo. That's 8.

Find 2 more somewherre

WC spot isn't that far-fetched anymore.

Of our ten remaining games, we have five extremely winnable ones. If we win all of them, that gives us eight wins.

At that point, we need at least one win against the tougher names on our list and we're in.

We still have San Diego again and Pittsburgh (that are .500 or above). Two very winnable games.

But for sure, in this tough NFL in this tough division, the Chiefs are going to have be perfect the rest of the way to even sniff a playoff spot.

and I think we have learned this year, that once you get in anything is possible!@#!@#!#





wrong sport?

7-3 rest of the way

9-7 is hardly a guarantee. They need to get to 10-6.

It never was in my mind. This is a team that will be a bit below or a bit above .500 come December. I'm guessing a hair above. The people shouting 2-14 and the #1 pick in the draft are just your regular debbie downers.

In the last three years, 9-7 gets you in 2/3s of the time.

The nfl is just wacky this year

That Titans game really is gonna bite us in the ass.

The Titans game yes.

So will th 9er game that we should have won.

Everyone I've talked to has been saying that today. I agree.

They just gotta beat all five of the teams they're supposed to beat, and then pick off at least one win against one of the five other tough opponents (three of those games are at home).

Basically, this win needs to be in a 4 game win streak by the time Seattle comes to Arrowhead.

You could argue we should have won the Broncos game as well.

Yes but the Titans are awful.

Yep.

They look unbeatable tonight, but I'm anxious to get them in arrowhead. Mainly because I'm going to that game.

Dam I hope that dam Titans game dont cost us a playoff spot. That shit still pisses me off

That Seattle game at Arrowhead doesn't look impossible now.

Hire some royals and we can rattle off 9 in a row.

What do you think wins the division, win wise

I don't give a rat's ass about the schedule.

Every game is winnable as long as Andy Reid can keep his head out of his ass.

I have no faith that he can.

14

Denver is at least gonna win 11, probably 12 or 13.

I don't think Denver will lose again, so I'm saying 15

Although I always try not to get too high or low, week to week.

I just don't see a team that can defend Denver

I get the feeling both the Chargers and us will be neck and neck week 17 fighting for a WC spot. That game is going to be insane.

It's be nice to have 10 wins rolling into that charger game. It's conceivable, but not probable

Should have won the Titans and 49ers game....putting us at a happy 5-1 right now w/ only loss being to the Denver Mannings...and we were in that game til the end.

There's no reason at all for that Titans loss, and to be honest I would have had a whipping of the dog session w/ Reid if I was Clark, after that home opener loss. That was BULLSHIT.

To me..KC looks like a better team this season. I do think the coaching staff is kind of throwing shit against the wall..finding out what works. They had a new O-line, new TE...and a shit-ton of injures. You couple that with a brutal schedule to start the season...This season is almost the polar opposite of last year..which was soft and they were essentially injury-free. This team is geared for a better 2nd half..

KC needs to keep the ball control tip going..and get Kelce involved. This plays straight into how Smith is wired..Reid should recognize this. It will open up thier sub-par WRs..

You have to give Sutton credit...he has shut down the long bombs against Manning, Brady..and Rivers. This is without Berry and Flowers (last season comparison)....

Berry can go..let someone else overpay for him.

The Game plan for defeating Denver is what we did today. Keep the ball away. We did a pretty good job the first time we played them. We just had to many miscues like we did today. Clean up the penalties. Correct the drops and I think we could compete. It would be nice to tighten up the secondary as well.

Dunno if the Phin's are an auto win in Miami. They're playing well

Of all the losses, I believe the Broncos hurts us the worst.

Chiefs did pretty good in Pile High. Certainly good enough to win.

They just have so many weapons, unless we can beast out the pass rush, I don't see it

We need to just game by game it. Just keep winning

I didn't have faith but today was a step in the right direction. We need to beat the shitty teams and get San Diego in KC. No one in the AFC is running away right now. We should make the playoffs and that's hard for me to fathom.

Denver hasn't been a World beater every week. It's not impossible to get a win against them at Arrowhead. The NFL is week to week.

That is an interesting stat.

Well, it would be an interesting stat except that I ****ed it up.

Three 5-win teams and a 4-2 team (San Fran). Still, pretty ridiculous schedule right there.

Vaginal warts.

This team is in good shape moving forward.

I'm starting to believe in dorsey

According to this, the chiefs have had the hardest schedule in the NFL so far this season. Last updated 10/15

No receivers and Dee Ford is an empty jersey. Andy is getting the most out of the heap of scrap he's been dealt with.

I am too. Pretty impressive work.

Our O-Line is still suspect, they are inconsistent both mentally and physically. We started a new RT in Paul Cornick tonight and he had some obvious **** ups. Our Center, Ramirez, is not playing as well as he has in the past. Our LT, Clady, is coming back from injury and he hasn't been the same guy. Manning can make up for that stuff to a degree but they need to play better.

Abdullah, parker, Fleming, Schwartz, cooper, Sherman, James Michael Johnson, mauga, Mays, jaye Howard, Avery, half of our o line this year. Joe McKnight, that person of Hispanic heritage that just kicked the game winning field goal, and that Coleman feller that just sealed the game with a pick...

Don't forget The Beard.

and here we go

the tides of hope are rising

There's a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth: hope.

Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple...

And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying.

I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope.

So, as the Chiefs terrorize ChiefsPlanet, they will feed its people hope to poison their souls.

They will let CP believe it can survive so that Clay can watch us clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun."

Clay can watch them torture an entire board.

And when the season is ashes, Clay will have my permission to troll.

This is probably your best post. You should probably retire now.

So long as I score more points than you, I'll win!

Pretty sure you are 3-33-1 against tk13

That sounds like a made up stat.

This result is unlikely. You are too much of a game manager.

If we go 9-7 and tied with another 9-7 team for the last spot, isn't SOS the tie breaker?

Who are we talking about? A team in our division or not?

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.
1.If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2.If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs
1.Head-to-head, if applicable.
2.Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3.Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4.Strength of victory.
5.Strength of schedule.
6.Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7.Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8.Best net points in conference games.
9.Best net points in all games.
10.Best net touchdowns in all games.
11.Coin toss.

What's "Strength of Victory"? Average point margin?

I assume it means how many good teams you beat vs scrub teams?

That's strength of schedule.

What's strength of victory?

I am guessing yes.

so 60% of the time, it works every time??

Not me.
I don't believe he can stick to the running game over the course of the next 10 games.

He just won't be able to help himself.
Dumbassery is just in his DNA.

Apparently you don't believe in reading comprehension either?

o:-)

It'd

Dorsey bud. Not Reid.

There's not a team out there we can't beat. We need coach to do his job. We should get healthier as the season moves forward.

No ? Necessary for San Diego next week. Short week, injury ravaged defense, Denver on a roll(Manning doesn't do regular season let down games). As of now, I would take Miami to beat them as well. If not for their dumb coach and a brilliant play by Aaron Rodgers, Miami would be considered one of the top teams right now.

Either Dorsey has been great at signing low end FAs who can actually be quality contributors, or the coaching staff is much better than we give them credit for.

I would say that it's a combination of both. They're making chicken salad out of mostly chicken shit.

Said it on another thread - we don't get away from the rush and the receivers don't drop big play passes and we can beat every team remaining on our schedule.

The Seahawks game doesn't look nearly as daunting. They can be run on and should be run on. Bills game we should win, it's Kyle ****ing Orton at QB.

Cardinals aren't invincible, the pass rush should be able to get to Palmer who is a statue back there.

Steelers will be tougher due to their offense but we should be able to score on them. I fully expect Houston and Hali to have multiple sacks in that game as well.

Chargers couldn't beat us in their own home, they're going to walk into Arrowhead and take a game there? Come on.

If Berry can get healthy, we should be in even better shape defensively once he and Mays comes back.

Yep. Now compare home games vs away games thus far...Start with Denver and try not to laugh...

Ask the 2013 Arizona Cardinals if that is the case.

The AFC is pretty weak compared to the NFC, but there's no telling what will happen over the next ten weeks.

The we'll likely be fighting it out with either Baltimore or Cinci and San Diego. All three of those teams have a pretty significant leg up on us at this point so we've got to make up some ground. No more faltering. We need to win the games we should win and steal another one or two while we're at it.

10-6 is still no guarantee. I'm afraid 9-7 may not do the trick either.

AFC West schedule comparisons
 

The good news is we've actually looked pretty decent.

We just took it to SD in their own house. Having them week 17 could be a win-and-you're-in situation @KC. Home field could favor us.

We ALWAYS play the Steelers tough and they're not even good this year. There's a good chance they have nothing to play for by the time we get a crack at them.

The Seahawks are sucking it up and we've got them in KC. That's one we'll need to steal because, although I think the Hawks are a better team, I don't think we'll be able to get a W I'm ARZ.

Denver is a loss. We can't beat Peyton. Just mark that as an L already.

****ing Buffalo. We'd better beat those guys but we struggle with them in years they go 3-13, now they're 4-3 with a capable QB. Their defensive line will rape us; I'm expecting to give up about 5 or 6 sacks that day. Good news is: Spiller will be out and Fred Jackson is banged up.

Two games against the Raiders LMAO Lets get those Ws.

The Rams and Jets the next two weeks? We have absolutely no reason not to win those two and be sitting at 5-3 by the holidays.

I think we all figured 6-10 on the year back in August, didn't we? (Especially after all the injuries) I think that if they play like they did yesterday, 9-7 could be doable. 8-8 more likely, 7-9 or 6-10 a definite possibility. Things need to align just right for a WC game but I'm not very hopeful.

I hated the early bye and home games, 6 of next 8 are on the road. It evens out.
