Football AFC West - 7 games left - Page 13

Mile High Mania · 11-10-2014, 09:05 AM

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...

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...

Exactly this.

BINGO! Exactly how the Mile High Mule Tool operates....You THINK it's "all good" . He's a total POSER IMHO - but it's only my opinion.

Heh ... well, expect more problems as I'm sure we'll disagree on the possible outcome of games again. You'll get over it though.

I just want to win and get to the Denver showdown. Look forward to seeing if we can finally beat Peyton and the Broncos.

That's a huge barometer for this team.

If we can beat Den we can compete with anyone in the AFC...

Lesson definitely learned there... probably won't happen again, maybe. But, only back handed and veiled predictions, I promise.

Damn, chargers schedule is brutal. They may not win another game

I don't care that he predicted.

I just enjoyed calling him out about it.

Oakland a trap game ??

The level of estrogen in this thread is remarkable.

And when did MHM stop being considered one of the classiest rival fans on this board? He was once considered the gold standard for bronco fans that most could not live up to. The past 10 years has really done a number on this fan base's psyche.

It's a divisional game - anything can happen. Obviously, KC can compete with anyone in the NFL. There aren't really any dominant teams this year.

AZ has the best record and they won with Stanton yesterday. Denver gave them their lone loss way back in week 5. They have a stretch of interesting games, including the Chiefs visiting them in week 14.

I think the Packers have the best shot in the NFC at this point, and they've lost to SEA, DET and NOS. That's a fun team to watch.

The AFC is really a crapshoot. Patriots have the best record and are on a roll, and with a healthy Gronk - they're solid.

If Alex Smith is forced to rally the troops because a team has found a way to contain Charles... that's the trick. KC is sound in most other areas, but that's the one that can bite ya.
