AFC West - 7 games left

[Mile High Mania]

Hola - so I've taken a break from posting here for the most part and I think we're all happier. However, going into the final stretch of 7 games with the bye weeks done, it looks like it's going to be a nice battle for the division crown.

Not much room for error, quite honestly, with each team having at least 3 difficult (in red) games in the final 7. The Chargers, in my opinion have the toughest road with the Ravens, Patriots, Denver, SF and KC. They're really going to have to turn it on to make up the 2 game gap, otherwise they're pinning their hopes on a wildcard, which is more difficult as the 3rd place divisional team ... and you have three 6 win teams in the North.

Denver and KC have the game @KC and that could mean everything. If KC can knock off SEA next week, that's a monstrous development for the race. My guess is most chalked that up as a loss, but they've been very mortal lately.

Denver has looked anything but unbeatable the last few weeks, they've played ok, but the OL is having issues - too many penalties and the defense bends and breaks on 3rd down against aggressive teams.

At some point, that could cost them a win against a Miami or Cincy.

Nice win for KC at Buffalo yesterday, good road win. At the very least, it appears right now that we have a 3-team race. Should look that way for the next 2 weeks, as I think SD can win two straight (OAK, STL). All three teams can win their next two games and then we're heading into December with quite the finish for the divisional crown.

Good luck with all that...

Lost @ SEA and @ NEP

Chiefs (6-3 overall / 1-1 Div)

Hey Mav, here are a couple Chiefs forum boards where I think you'd be more welcome...

It's still ok, just not as cool as it was... but, that happens over time.

When I used to be on a 49er board, it was so structured. it allowed for no disagreements. It was all homer or nothing. And if you didn't homer it up, you were booted.

This place gives a freedom that I have never seen. I haven't been to another teams board, other than Dawgbones. That is not even really a site, its just about 10 people who come together to complain. Quite boring.

That's a simplistic elementary view. We were outcasted for believing in Alex Smith when he was actually the starter, and essentially scarlet lettered when he was benched, even though we still supported the team.

So you decide to switch teams, rather than find fans you can get along with?

WTF?!

Just tell him to go back to lurking.

DEN vs MIA - Manning is playing uncharacteristically shitty
KC vs OAK - Short week with a banged up squad

Someone could very well end up with a 1 game lead in the AFC West come next Monday

I cant get her to stop crying.

I would put down ChiefsPlanet.
But you knew I'd say that.


Sometimes they're just mad, Mav. If there isn't a different set of arms to put them in, then sometimes a different room/environment works. Teething should start soon for your little one. Warm bath?

And stop appealing to my maternal instincts.

This team is fine when things are going well and it's a competitive game. We've done a good job since week 1.

But Denver has the ability, and playmakers, to overcome being down by 14 in the 4th.

We don't have big play WR's to mount a come back. It's not easy for us. It can be done, and we have come back, but it's not as easy for us as it is other AFC playoff teams...

Honestly, you guys should just get in the ring and mix it up... the crazy vitriol and darts you're trying to sling my way are kind of pointless. Just talk some noise and have fun. Guys like TEX don't get it, there might be hope with you.

Seriously. Because you got shit on a forum board you switch your team allegiance?

If KISS can do it... so can he, at least he's creating new stuff.

Nope. Because no matter what, I still respect and like you as a parent.

And appealing to your maternal instincts, you understand my irritableness.

Yes and I wouldn't respond if I didn't give a shit.

At least, not with any kind of conversation.

Im not sure if you missed the point. When you started this thread, the very first post, I didn't have a problem with it. I only developed a problem with it when you predicted games. Then, and only then, did I say something to you about it.

It was as you called it, friendly banter.

all is good broski.
