I honestly think that the Chiefs will make the playoffs this year.
Order of the division:
Chiefs
San Diego
Oakland
Denver
I think S. Diego will have a tougher time with teams like New England, the Jets, and Philadelphia.
I am gaurenteeing a KC victory over Philly. (I'm from the Philly area, and a philly downswing is in the cards. While they have a super-easy schedule and should walk into the playoffs, i wouldn't be surprised if Washington rose to challenge the NFC East)
Philly is weak against the run, and dominated an insanely weak NFC. The game is at Arrowhead... and KC dominated the league's other run-happy QB last year (Mike Vick). Plus, most of Philly's good players are holding out (owen, westbrook, ect)... And who can philly throw it to? Mitchell is a Chief now... Pinkston? HA!
Even w/o Warfield for this game it shouldn't be a problem, as philly has few weapons. Owens, Westbrook, and repeat. LJ Smith once in a while at the goal line. This game could become a blowout and wake Philly up to the news: they missed the Superbowl, and they are out of chances to redeem themselves. Errr... is Owens even healthy? (afterthought)
I believe in the KC 2005 Defence
Revising the "first 11 players to the stadium can play defence" policy of the past was a good idea. I believe that even if the new D doesn't mesh instantly, it'll still be better than what was on the field last year. The new punter helps immediately. Surtain... awesome. Warfield might miss a few games, but everything will work out fine. KC has met thier needs and will compete. As the season rolls on, the D will improve, players will come off of injuries and return, and it'll be even that much stronger. It wont be the number one D... but it'll be in the top 15.
KC begins its Super Bowl run now.
God Speed.
