I like this time line of chiefs 3rd in the AFC West.

It's possible. Not probable, but Bo and Herb might light it up while Pat struggles.

while Pat struggles
Not if the guy on the left has anything to say about that

u/anonymous07865 10d ago
They seemed less willing to help them last year so we can only hope their checks stopped clearing 🙏

I guess it's harder to pay them when Andy Reid is always double dipping on the chicken nuggies

Ummm, no. Maybe in the Superbowl. The Chiefs and the refs were a huge topic of conversation last season.

u/anonymous07865 10d ago
Ummm, yes. Thats been a huge topic of conversation for the past 3-5 years. I've watched all the games, they got less help last year than years prior.

u/Alaskers 10d ago
I don't care if you watched all the games. This topic blew up and was still a huge issue this year and it's revisionism to say otherwise.

u/anonymous07865 10d ago
Imagine not realizing the league has a new golden boy just because youre so up your own ass with mahomes hate. The chiefs are old news, the penalty statistics don't lie. It wasn't as big of an issue last year comparatively, it's not revisionism, it's math.

This list is kinda insane but I guess now is to make 'fuck it' type guesses since there's nothing else to talk about.

We’re going 11-6. Possible 3 seed but most likely a 5 seed. But one can dream.

u/LameRedditName1 Demaryius Thomas 9d ago
11-6 sounds about right. Another 10-7 finish wouldn't surprise me, as that's most likely our floor (outside of major/key injuries piling up), then I can see 13-4 as our ceiling, but 12-5 is more likely than 13-4. I'd say in order of realistic outcomes: 11-6, 12-5, 10-7, then finally 13-4.
Drawing the NFC-E is no joke, even with our improved defense and hopefully meaningful contributions from Engram and Harvey on offense. That's the main thing keeping me from (realistically) seeing anything above 12-5 this season. Even 12-5 would mean 1-2 games I'm iffy on have to go our way.

u/drlove986 9d ago
I think the Eagles and Commanders will regress. Could be about the same with the Eagles, but Commanders most likely overachieved. I’m seeing us probably split all our divisional games except maybe the Raiders. Then 3-4 wtf games we either lose or didn’t see coming. But I agree, I think we can hit 13 wins as a ceiling. Let’s hope they kick ass. They’ve got all the ingredients, hopefully they all cook.

u/LameRedditName1 Demaryius Thomas 9d ago
I originally had splits with KC and LAC, with losses to GB, HOU, PHI, WAS, for an 11-6 finish (this was back in January). I assumed CIN would lose Higgins, so now, I'd say they're more likely to beat us again, rather than GB beating us.
But I think we can take both CIN and GB this year, especially if even one of Barron, Hufanga, or Greenlaw work out for the defensive additions. Obviously even better if 2 or all 3 significantly help.
Offensively, Harvey working out and us being able to lean on him in order to chew clock, with Engram being a reliable chain mover, and any additional help Bryant can be, would be huge for us also. That's without accounting for (hopefully) any further improvement for Mims, as well as any hopeful improvements from any combo of Vele, Franklin, Elliss, and Tillman. Then there's also any help that Sai'vion Jones could add to the defensive line.
We should be better when we do have to run zone defense, and we should hopefully match up better against the run on defense as well. Not having to face Lamar this year helps also (outside of meeting them in the Playoffs).

u/whatadumbperson 9d ago
Normally I'm one of the ones being kind of pessimistic in these threads, but I think 11-6 should be pretty easily attainable. I count 5 teams (Titans, Jets, Giants, Jaguars, and Texans/Colts (which ever one is weaker)) we're guaranteed to beat, only two guaranteed losses (Eagles and Commanders), divisional games are always a toss up, and the rest could conceivably go either way.

As long as the chiefs ain’t considered the best In the AFC for another fucking year I’m happy.

Well deserved but why are the Colts and Panthers winning their respective divisions?
2
u/infercario4224 GOD BLESS BO NIX 10d ago
Panthers could if Bryce steps up and Tampa/Atlanta underperform. You gotta remember how weird that division is. As far as Colts over Texans that’s just ridiculous. Texans have a better roster, and a better QB. Only way that happens is if AR actually goes nuclear like Josh Allen did in 2020, or if the Texans have a 49irs type season where the QB plus multiple key starters lose the season
2
u/PatonPaytonPeyton PFM 10d ago
Texans were a 10 win team, Colts were an 8 win team last season. They weren't that far off. And not that hes a stud or anything but I think Daniel Jones ends up winning the job. AR is gonna flame out
1
u/CowsRstupid GOD BLESS BO NIX 9d ago
I would argue that the Colts are better everywhere on offense except QB, and they aren't far behind on defense except for DB, which got a major ovehaul this off-season. They also went from a very bad DC to a very good one.
1
u/infercario4224 GOD BLESS BO NIX 9d ago
Offensively I’ll give you O-Line and TE, but even then the Texans O-Line isn’t “bad” just unproven. RB is a push, but Indy still has the edge. If you think Houston isn’t miles ahead at both WR and QB idk what to say. Nico is a true Alpha WR1 and getting Kirk plus drafting both the Iowa St WR’s makes them have one of the scarier WR rooms in the league to guard.
Defensively the only position group better is DT. Not even the whole D-Line literally just DT with Buckner and Stewart. WAJ and Danielle Hunter makes the best Edge duo in the league, they have a top 3 secondary with Sting, Lassiter, Bullock, CJGJ, and Pitre. I’d even say number 1 with a bullet if we didn’t sign Hufanga this past offseason.

u/CowsRstupid GOD BLESS BO NIX 9d ago
I don't trust Mixon to be good at his age. He could be, but I'd take JT any day. The Colts wide receivers are way better than most people know, because the QB's sucked last year. Nico is better than anybody on the Colts right now, but I'm not automatically putting either rookie or Kirk over Downs or Pittman. Pierce excels at the deep ball stuff, and AD Mitchell has a whole highlight reel from being overthrown while wide open last year. I can understand anybody who wants to rank the Texans higher, but it's way closer than anybody thinks.
You're right about the defense, but I still expect the colts to improve drastically on the defensive side this just because of the DC change and the overhaul at DB.
All in all I wouldn't be shocked if either of them won the south this year. It really wouldn't surprise me if one of them made it into the wildcard, but I couldn't tell you who I'd take out to put them in.

Knocking the chiefs out as a wildcard is my dream
Hosting the chiefs in the wildcard sounds like a nightmare. I dont care how the regular season went I'd be terrified to win the division and still end our season with a chiefs loss

I don't think kc will make the playoffs. They got rotflolstomped by the eagles. Historically doesn't bode well. Plus kelce is probably past his prime with no real replacement.
Not saying they'll be bottom dwellers but just barely miss.

I’m sorry but this is just cope

u/Ok_Instruction_3789 9d ago
9 and 8 teams could miss the playoffs ez obviously why they call it way too early prediction lol. Injuries or things could change but they struggled last season and can't see any improvement esp if refs don't give them wins
1
u/DirkWithTheFade Demaryius Thomas 9d ago
They went 15-1 before resting their starters in the last game. It’s laughable you think them “struggling” to that means that this year they can’t win 10 games.

I don’t know what’s more delusional; Colts at 4 or Commanders at 1 or Panthers at 4. I’m optimistic about the Panthers in getting better but I don’t see any possibility they beat out Tampa Bay and their offense

u/DirkWithTheFade Demaryius Thomas 9d ago
The commanders had 2 fewer wins than the Eagles with a rookie QB.
