USA Today Has Chiefs At #24 In NFL Power Rankings
 

Just 2 places behind the Jaguars in fact. :doh!:

But I gotta be honest...I kinda like it ;) let em sleep on us

Sleep on us??

Let me guess what their problem with us is

OFFENTHIVE LINE???!!!!

I donno...but that makes only 8 teams worse lol :thumb:

I guess I'm going to stop reading that ****ing paper now....

Oh wait, I don't read any paper now.

lulz

"Offensive line remains a worry, especially if it can't provide Alex Smith enough time to maximize new WR Jeremy Maclin."

No, we have 4 new OL this year and also Eric Fisher the beast

we are gonna beast

maybe because the offensive line is a problem...

last year it was a problem and this year it still looks shaky as shit

If it wasn't for the New Orleans' freak out, we wouldn't have Grubbs and the Oline would really look like trash.


I know, i know ... it gets in the way of your non-stop QB crying. Poor baby.

technically 3 new....plus 1 who is returning from season long injury....so with him 4. I agree it "should" be an improved O Line as well as an improved team. 10-6 ill say

24? Thomas Gafford was good, and it hurts to lose him in free agency, but I don't think he's that good.

Our offensive line was the worst thing ever last year and we still went 9-7 with a pretty brutal schedule.

Maybe you're just a dumbass.

Vega$ says 8.5, so there is money to be made.

I am assuming you will throw down a pile of cash on this easy money????

Also, what the **** does "If it wasn't for the New Orleans' freak out, we wouldn't have Grubbs and the Oline would really look like trash."

Are you saying that John Dorsey said, "I have one idea and one idea alone to fix our LG situation. Trade for Ben Grubbs. If that doesn't work, I'm trotting McGlynn out there again, because what the **** else do you expect me to do?"

Offensive lines don't win you championships, and the Chiefs proved last year that they don't tank your team, either.

There are always going to be questions about your offensive line if you're doing it the right way by not pissing away high draft picks on it all the time.

I've always been in favor of fixing this line using free agency, but when I suggested the Chiefs re-sign Geoff Schwartz, and that $4 million/year for a solid starting RG wasn't all that much, people like Laz got on my ass for supposedly overpaying for JAGs.

I'm not predicting Super Bowl or anything, but that seems ludicrous.

which is not the point.

Oline is a weakness and therefore they said it was a weakness


You just have to rage anytime someone mentions something other than Quarterback.

Maybe you're just a whiny,moaning bitch.

wow ... 3 responses from SNR


look at the rage!!!!!!!

Sounds like Alex overcame quite a bit.

I don't expect us to be contenders but we will be better than last year. We've had a good offseason and the number one issue on the team was the offensive line, which will have several new starters.

These national pubs don't know anything about our team, they just look at additions and subtractions and come up with something to write about in mid offseason

I think Dorsey got ****ing lucky.


He would have just added the Morse bandaid to yet another Oline position.

I'll believe this O-line can get shit done around week 5 after ive seen 3 weeks of allowing ALex to take more than 3 steps and also being able to run to either side, with the best RB the NFL has ever seen

I absolutely expect us to be contenders. What the **** else should I be expecting? This team isn't the ****ing Jaguars or Titans.

They don't know anything about any team. This ranking list is concentrated butt****ery from stem to stern.

Go 9-7 with a shit OL and a brutal schedule = 24th ranking the following season even though nothing of significance was lost in terms of talent.

Got it.

Man, logic works kind of funny in Laz World.

That's better than I expected.

lol....easy money huh? No such thing as any gambler will tell you. But I would bet money on the Chiefs winning a playoff game yes. Has to be somebody optimistic enough around here, so why not. Ya 10-6 and win a playoff game.

we are going to need a lot of stuff to really work out well for the Oline not to be an issue again.

Fisher must take the 3rd year leap in improvement

Kush has to be the guy we saw in that one game against the Chargers

Someone is going to have to be good enough to keep Faniaka out of the lineup at RG

Stephenson is going to have to revert back to the good stephenson

All Relative injury free all season

Or maybe he would have ****ing signed somebody in free agency. Did you think of that?

The way our schedule falls, I wouldn't be surprised if we squeak by .500.


We got absolutely screwed the first 10 weeks. Reminds me of 2004, only worse.

Laz volcanic period

Oh, really? And where can we see all this proof that this OL looks shaky?

I mean, it is a question mark, but I'd like to at least see it in some action in August to call it 'shaky'.

I'll take that bet. Name your amount.

Homers are so cute in May.

ugh....calling me out huh? hmmm, what can you afford?

LOL Waiting to see what the new players on the OL look like is Homer?

Name your stakes. I'm not betting the house on it, but I'm pretty confident in this one. Any amount up to $1000. You want $25, OK.....$100, OK....$500, OK....$1000, OK.

You think this bag of smashed assholes we have assembled has potential. It's really sad.

The Jaguars have won 5 playoff games since we last won a playoff game.

How about if they win a game you buy me a ticket to the next round's game? (decent seats....not nosebleed)

If they lose 1st game or dont make it i'll give you equal value.

Deal?

No way we're getting into BCS bowl now.

And the Titans have been to the Super Bowl......pardon me, I'm gonna go stick my head in the oven.

Done...roughly $250?

I thought they had won the two or three to make it to the AFC title game but wow.

Five?

FIVE?!?

I don't think the Chiefs will win five playoff games before I turn 50.

For people still bitching about all the supposed question marks on the OL, what the **** were we supposed to do, exactly?

Overspend?

Overdraft? Guess what we'd have if we drafted more OL this year? MOAR QUESTION MARKS.

Dorsey's fixed this problem the best way possible. He got a true vet to shore up the weak interior line. He drafted a guy as insurance for two of those interior line spots. And he insured against disaster by loading up 3-4 players deep per spot as competition. And these are all guys with starting experience, too, not just some UDFA rookie from last year who showed promise while sitting on the bench all season.

That's how you fix an offensive line. You DON'T do it by pissing away draft picks like the Cowboys. That's overkill, and in 2-3 years you can't possibly afford to keep all of them on the same team.

FYP

I'm sure we'll get a WR in FA /CP 2014
I'm sure we'll get a WR in the draft. /CP 2014
I'm sure we'll get a WR after June cuts /CP 2014

Yeah? Cuba Gooding Jr. has won an Oscar since then too.

I'll be cheering you on all the way buddy..................from right over here in the fingers crossed, not gonna believe it til I see it, non betting section.:D

Hey, dipshit. Learn to read.

What part of 'Question Mark' did you NOT understand? LOL

ok....so its been over 20 years in a row without a playoff win....so you do realize this is an unfair bet right? lol :hmmm:

oh well...ya f**k it.....drought ends this year! Deal :thumb:

I ain't holding your feet to the fire, Bro. You don't wanna do it, just say so. I was simply calling you on your post :) (I'm an asshole like that)

LMAO :doh!:

FYFYP

I think USA Today went through the majority of the list and thought, "Oh shit, we completely forgot about the Chiefs." and then promptly stuck them next on their list.

It's not a question mark.

These guys are trash.

The fact that people still think Allen and Stephenson are anything but garbage is hilarious.

Like Sean Smith trash?

:facepalm:

Ok we're good.....its time to teach an old dog some new tricks. ;)

C'mon on Chiefs!!! :):):)

I realize the odds are stacked against me however. :doh!:

uncalled-for movie industry reference

The butthurt is strong in this thread. They probably just look at who's the QB and base it off that.

He went from Oscar winner to head football coach at KU to totally out of the public eye. How the mighty are fallen.

hell yah my dawg

hell yah

You'll get no argument from me that Dorsey ****ed up the 2013 and 2014 offseasons pretty bad by getting them in the wrong order. It made little sense to spend money like he did after 2012 and then back away from his success and basically treat 2014 like a season the team just has to eat in order to set themselves up for the future. And the decision to take ZERO WRs in last year's draft is the kind of idiocy only trumped by Pioli's decision to draft zero QBs in 2012.

That has no bearing whatsoever on 2015, when the Chiefs OBVIOUSLY felt the need to be aggressive in free agency. I have a really hard time believing that Dorsey would have stood pat if this happened:

DORSEY: "Hey Mickey? It's John. How ya doin, buddy? Listen, could we work out a deal for Ben Grubbs?"
LOOMIS: "No. Go **** yourself."
DORSEY: "Alrighty then. Have a nice day."

Sounds like Alex has a shit ton of excuses cooked into the stew. Hope he gets the team he deserves by 2017 or so. Would be a shame to waste his time here on a trash o-line.

If arousal last more than 6 months FOR GOD'S SAKE seek medical attention.

pillowbitergot tranny weirdo.

Why do you continue to insist on sweet talking my swimsuit area?

Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction were released the last time we won a playoff game.

LOL at your lineman evaluation skills.

The "newspaper" that is written at an 8th Grade reading level has 8th grade football knowledge. Who knew?

an eighth grader

I'll take some action too. The Chiefs will win a playoff game THIS year.

Name your amount.

i think we need some type of

"Ill have you know, Ive been grading players for 20 years...WAY before PFF was a ****ing twinkle in your eye. I can ****ing grade 5 players per play , all at different positions...even WITHOUT using the NFL's all angle camera service that I pay for with my own disability money...I have kept a grade for every player of every game since matt cassel was in ****ing kindergarten.

Forrest Gump, too, which robbed Shawshank of Best Picture that year.

Shawshank wasn't revered until it was rewatched a million times on cable.

The first of the small screen classics that resonated more at home than at the theater.

I laugh my ass off at some of these guys. CBS sports has us 21st and now USA Today has us 24th??! ROFL we've improved our team. We won 9 games last year, one with Chase ****ing Daniel. We beat both Super Bowl teams (New England convincingly might I add), we played the NFC west going 2-2. We swept San Diego. We lost our best run defenders at each level (one of which has ****ing cancer) 2 of them Pro Bowlers. Oh and Alex didn't throw a ****ing TD to our putrid WR core all season. Suddenly were 21-24th? ROFL give me a ****ing break. USA Today sports writers need a snickers because they're reeruned when they're hungry. I just made a bet with my Raider friend who thinks they'll have more wins. ROFL

I never even heard of SR until I watched it at home. Don't know how I missed that one.

Yep. Pulp Fiction and Shawshank are infinitely better movies.

1994 was a great ****ing year for movies.

Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
Shawshank
Clear and Present Danger
Quiz Show

Diesel was WWF intercontinental champ. ROFL

So let me guess....most of you are able to predict the Chiefs every year correctly? You've never thought they'd do better than they actually perform? Like 2 wins in 2012? What about the 10 wins between 2007-2009, you guys peg those years too?

Holy ****.
