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.

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.


I expect them to lose against Miami. It's my sleeper upset of the week.


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)

You got me on that one.  But I dare you to pick Denver over the Chiefs, I'm still picking the Chiefs against Tebow.  Just remember what happened to Kyle Bowler, that's what to expect from Tebow against Crennel.

I expected a second half collapse from the Chiefs.  But that wouldn't be Haley's fault.  The lockout kind of fooled Haley and he didn't have the team ready in time for the season.  Which also I think lead to some of the injuries and the 0-3 hole they started in.  But under normal circumstances Haley is a great coach and overall the Chiefs are going in the right direction They may only win 6 or 7 games this year but once Charles, Berry, and Moeki come back next season the division is theirs!

I wouldn't call him a great coach. Take Romeo away and you guys are neck and neck with the Colts. I do expect Romeo to make Tebow look silly. But I thought Oakland would do the same. I'm actually not sure who takes this one. It'll come down to whether John Fox can puzzle Cassel and how much of his legs Tebow can use. I'm not picking a winner because I really don't know who wins.

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.
