kkuenn 3,597 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 With the raiders loss, we won the west. Now with Miami losing and possibly again next week to Buffalo, we can still get the 2nd seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Nevermind, the best we can do is 3rd seed now with Buffaloes win. We can win today and then rest our starters though next week. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article283634373.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys aren’t getting it… Payton believes his offense will be better with Jarrett Stidham than Russell Wilson, and so far he’s correct. Denver likely will not win the division, but they definitely have not thrown in the towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are below .500 next year it won't be good imo. I think getting over that hump will be huge for you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 KC, with a win, could not fall to the AFC’s 4 seed; the Chiefs would finish no worse than 10-7, and no AFC South team can finish better than 10-7. The Chiefs own a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and their at-worst 8-4 conference record would be above the Houston Texans. We will sit players next week.

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Guys, I love the optimism. I really do. But let's be brutally honest. We beat the Bengals by great defense and field goals. We cannot get much farther with Wanya Morris protecting Mahomes' blind side and with Valdez-Scantling getting snaps and supposedly being the only guy who can stretch the field. We are 2 good tackles, two wide receivers, and another good RB from getting to the Super Bowl, much less winning one. Oh, and we need to bring Bienemy back. I almost forgot that.

I thought Morris played well after he gave up the strip sack. I think he's a good athlete and has some upside. West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ok. Yea I know we have issues but when you start looking at the playoff field so does everybody else. Ravens look to be the strongest but they won’t play another meaningful game till Jan 20th or 21st. That kind of time off can kill momentum much like it did in 2019 when they had the top seed and although Jackson has had a MVP type season he still hasn’t shown he can do it in the playoffs. NFL is kinda been weird this year as their has been a lot of bad football played including KC. We do have something no other team has a team that’s won close games in the playoffs and with Mahomes as the QB anything is possible. They could lose in the first round or get to the big one but with the way this year has gone neither would surprise me but I can’t say we won’t get there not with the only QB/HC combo that knows how to win close games in the playoffs.

Wasn't talking about this year. May take a miracle this year. Can't disagree with your assessment though. Who knows with this group. If they don't drop or turn the ball over they can play with anybody. But who knows if they can do that. Was mostly speaking to the contention that we're that far away from another superbowl. We've seen Veach put together multiple superbowl rosters and remake entire position groups in short order. We're not that far off and I expect we'll be back in contention next year.

jetlord 10,207 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 hour ago, Calichief said: Easily.

It's easier to get interior linemen and LBs than those top two positions. If the Chiefs draft around #25, they may find a receiver but getting one and a starting tackle out of the draft isn't easy. That leaves FA and unless they unload Jones, that's another tough task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ok. Won't happen this year. If it does, I pledge to donate $50 to the coalition as penance for being such a pessimist. By the way, Wiley was twice as good a RT as Jawaan Taylor. Brown was a great run blocker at LT, though a crappy pass blocker...but no worse or better than Wanya Morris is at this point in his career. We also had a healthy McKinnon to pass block at the end of the season and in the playoffs. We also had a firey and knowledgeable offensive coordinator, not the cool and cerebral but uninspiring Nagy. Even with those things, we were extremely lucky winning very close games throughout the season. It was some kind of miracle that we beat the Eagles in the super bowl. So, let's be realistic about last season. We still need to fix the OT's, get another RB, Get at least one really dominant WR who stretches the field, and get a better OC if we want to continue the dynasty.

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 BTW, if we don't give Mahomes what he needs to be protected and somebody added who can catch the ball, we are simply wasting the talent of the best QB in football. It has been shown that teams with great defenses and ordinary offenses RARELY win the SuperBowl.. We have to win by offense to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
