Romeo really stepped up with his guys, but the offense still looks abysmal and a bunch of lucky breaks gave them the straight wins. They aren't a playoff calibre team and have no chance of keeping this up to win unless both SD and Oak collapse. They have the win against Mimnni and still may have beaten Oak if McFadden stayed in the game, but Rivers doesn't fumble and Peyton on the Colts mean the Cheifs are a 2-5 team, and I expect them to lose against Miami. It's my sleeper upset of the week.

so your still picking agaiinst them?
My feeling is they will beat Miami, beat Denver, and possibly even beat Oakland again. But the second half of their season they have to play some of the strongest teams in the league, Patriots, Steelers, Packers, Bears, Jets.... so because of that I expect them to fall back in the second half. But either way it's been great seeing the season get a second life. After week 1 and 2 they were already talking about Andrew Luck and the upcoming draft... now all the talk is that the Chiefs are in fiirst place.
Shallow:
I just haven't seen enough from them to change my mind. Even beating Miami and Denver won't mean anything. If they do win this division it'll be with a 9-7 and get an even bigger beat down in January than they did last year. Now had they gotten McDaniels, there would have been no learning curve to learn during the missed training camp, and they would have gotten Brandon Lloyd and have been a real contender. But the current playcalling hot potato game they are playing is being saved entirely by Romeo. Had he left too the Cheifs would be competiting with the Colts right now.
OG Jaydc:
Chiefs will win their division and be killed in the first round. They aren't a great team. But, that division is awful. The raiders are done. Palmer sucks, and McFadden is hurt.

If the playoffs were today the Chiefs would be playing the Bengals at Arrowhead stadium, so that's a game they could easily win. And after losing Moeki, Charles, and Berry and getting blown out week 1 and 2... going 9-7 and winning the division after all that would be like winning the superbowl around here.
And I think your slippin on your Chiefs analysis now that Wiess is gone you aren't following them close enough to know what's up. Because the Chiefs don't need Brandon Lloyd, because we have a 3-headed monstor at wide-out already. Bowe is having another great year, and Breaston has been huge the last few weeks for us, with Rookie Baldwin finally healthy and showing flashes of great things!
Also, granted, it took Haley all preseason and two and a half regular season games to do it, but he DID eventually fiigure out the offense and him and Bill Muir got things up and running again. And that's without our superstar Jamal Charles who was basically 95% of Wiess's offense last year. KC still misses Wiess, definitely, but Haley still knows a thing or two about running an offense.

Sorry bro. I didn't really want to be right this week. I just don't see a light at the end of this tunnel. Though I really hope Tebow and the Broncos make the playoffs. (not a prediction. a hope)
