AFC West sending 3 to the playoffs??

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Raiders (6-2) (Loss to chiefs, win over Chargers*)
Broncos (6-2) (1 win/loss to the Chargers)
Chiefs (5-2) (Wins over Raiders and Chargers)


Indy clearly took a big hit towards their playoff hopes today and now sit at 3-5 (Andrew luck MVP talk ).

Bills lost a crucial division game today and fell to 4-4 with Seattle, Oakland, and Pittsburgh still remaining. 2 more losses and they are on the bubble for a wild card spot.

Tennessee (4-4) has arguably the most difficult schedule between them and their division leader, Houston Texans (5-3) as they still have to play the Chargers, Packers, Broncos, and Chiefs.

Bengals (3-4-1) resorted to a tie today and have essentially lost to every playoff contending team this season. Two more losses on the year and they have virtually no shot at a wild card.


I like our chances, boys!!!

SD does that alot... remember how they kinda rolled over for KC in week 1 and allowed them to rally back?

And, on 12/18 ... the Patriots travel to Denver.

No excuses not to sweep that average Denver squad. Semenboy nearly gave the game away yesterday...and that included fluke tips for their defense to even get the lead. Booker is garbage too.

Totally agree, if KC doesn't sweep Denver and win the AFCW --- total failure and the team should be dismantled, Reid fired. Broncos' defense has just as many total takeaways as Chiefs (16), but KC has earned those - not Denver, lucky fluke bounces or gifts from the refs. I've had enough, quite honestly.

Now you get it. We TOOK the ball, Rivers gave it to ya.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

The AFC West is between the Chiefs and Broncos still, IMO. We already proved we're better than OAK. Denver will beat them next Sunday night. I agree with the poster below that even though we've all played and will play essentially the same schedule, OAK seems very paper tigerish. They struggle to beat ANYBODY. We're about to find out more though. Should be fun.

I know... Denver is the only defense awarded plays like that. Well, don't count the TD scored by SD late on a tipped INT/Pick 6. But, yes - KC is the only team that wins in a legit win and while they don't normally lose - when they do, they screwed over somehow. It's crazy.

5-0 on the road is quite strong... for any team. OAK has weapons on offense too, so writing them off is silly to me.

If the chiefs were winning shootouts or having to outscore said teams, you'd have a point.

[sedated]

It happened in 2013

And all the wildcard teams came from the AFC North in 2014

Well, the one team that gave them a fit and went to OT was SD ... ranked 8.

KC is ranked 13, so they took care of business against those offenses. Chiefs' offense did what they should have done against 4 of the worst 6 rated defenses. I was countering the comment about the Raiders.

Meh...it was game one of the season. Donkos won theirs out of charity from a missed FG.

KC has allowed only 6.7 2nd half points...which included road games against the Steelers, Indy, and Oakland...and home against the Saints and Chargers. Those are all top 10 offenses.

I dont see Semeboy generating enough offense against KC...he barely put up any points against the Falcons and Chargers.
