Chiefs Post-Draft Record Prediction - Page 3

pugsnotdrugs19 · 05-09-2015, 01:23 PM

I know, I know. This is pretty irrelevant to what really matters for this season. However, it's fun to see where other fans opinions vary at this point in the year. Not to mention, many people including myself had us at 10-6 last year at this time, very close to reality. So here goes:

Week 1 - @ Houston - I just don't buy into the Texans' QB situation, certainly not in the first game. Plus, Maclin absolutely destroyed their defense last year to a severe degree. Chiefs Win, 27-16.

Week 2 - vs. Denver (TNF) - Finally the Chiefs do it. With prime time in Arrowhead and little film for Manning to work with heading into the short week, the Chiefs defeat the forehead for the first time since joining Denver. Chiefs win, 23-20.

Week 3 - @ Green Bay (MNF) - I wouldn't bet on anyone winning at Lambeau, especially on MNF where Aaron Rodgers shines brightest. The Chiefs to however present the type of playing style that beats a team like the Packers. It's not enough. Packers win, 27-21.

Week 4 - @ Cincinatti - I think this game comes down to which QB steps up and makes the big throw(s). Great defenses, great running games... But in this particular case, I go with the home team. Cinci wins, 19-17.

Week 5 - vs. Chicago - The Bears aren't completely talent deprived, but it feels like a really bad matchup for them. Not enough defense to support their offense against one of the NFL's top defenses on the road. Chiefs win, 34-14.

Week 6 - @ Minnesota - The Vikings are an underrated squad. However, this will be a battle of coaching, and one that the Chiefs should win. Maclin has a big day along with Charles. Chiefs win, 30-17.

Week 7 - vs. Pittsburgh - REVENGE GAME! Last year, the Steelers basically ended the Chiefs playoff hopes at Heinz Field. This year, with a Steelers team that hasn't added a whole lot to their roster and coming into Arrowhead, the Chiefs get payback. Chiefs win, 20-17.

Week 8 - vs. Detroit (at London) - This is gonna be weird. I have the Chiefs at 5-2 heading into this one, and while I don't think Detroit is the better team, they do have experience playing in London from last year. If Calvin and Tate are both playing, it could be tough. Lions win, 21-20.

Week 9 - BYE

Week 10 - @ Denver - We all know how good Andy Reid is after the bye week, and how good the Chiefs have been coming off of tough losses in the last two years... which is why I do indeed have the Chiefs SWEEPING the Denver Broncos. Until proven otherwise, I'm not sold that Manning is the same elite guy he was just two seasons ago. A huge win here. Chiefs win, 28-20.

Week 11 - @ San Diego (SNF) - A big letdown here after a huge win in Denver. On Sunday night, Rivers squeaks by and beats the Chiefs after being swept in 2014. Chargers win, 17-14.

Week 12 - vs. Buffalo - After years of getting pounded by the Bills, it would appear KC has gotten things under control. This time, in front of the Arrowhead crowd, the Chiefs win a defensive battle. Chiefs win, 20-12.

Week 13 - @ Oakland - The Raiders are on the rise, but still not quite ready to take the throne. They're competitive, but still not quite a true contender. Chiefs win, 28-16.

Week 14 - vs. San Diego - Justin Houston has another big December day in Arrowhead against Rivers, avenging the lost three weeks before. Chiefs win, 27-13.

Week 15 - @ Baltimore - This feels like it'll be a heartbreaker. Two very competitive teams, and it should go down to the end. Ravens win, 20-19.

Week 16 - vs. Cleveland - D-Bowe returns!!!!..... and gets shut down. Maybe 40 yards? Who cares, cause the Chiefs will win this one and I don't think it will be too close. Chiefs win, 33-7.

Week 17 - vs. Oakland - With KC, Denver, and SD all battling for the division, this could be for it all.... and the Chiefs can't let the opportunity slide. For the third straight year, Oakland falls on the road in front of a wild roaring crowd. Big day for Kelce and J-Mac. Chiefs win, 31-17.

Final prediction: 11-5, AFC West Champions and a #3 seed in the playoffs.

So now.... what do the rest of you foresee??

I talked to Roger Goodell and he told me the NFL has the Chiefs going 11-5 and winning the AFC west. He said between the BBQ competition and the London game the league felt it was time to once again let the Chiefs host another playoff game.

**Baby Lee** · 05-09-2015, 02:47 PM

A healthy year should be in 11-5 to 12-4 range.

Lose a couple of Berry/DJ/Jaamal level players again this year, 7-9 to 8-8.

1. Indy's won a single Super Bowl and has been to two.

2/5. Baltimore has won two Super Bowls, albeit with completely different coaching staffs and players. Pittsburgh hasn't had a "dominant" team since 2009.

4. Denver hasn't won shit since Elway left.

6. Miami?

The ONLY dominant team in the past 20 years has been the New England Patriots, with SIX Super Bowl trips and four wins.

**notorious** · 05-09-2015, 03:01 PM

3rd year will roll

12-4

Discuss Thrower · 05-09-2015, 03:05 PM

Meh. Glossed over the 20 years part.

Those six teams are going to be the playoff field regardless. Indy gets four easy wins against the bottom half of the absolutely toothless AFC South, will at worst split with Houston. The rest of their schedule sets up where the absolute worst that can happen sans-injury or Act of God will be 11 wins.

Pittsburgh/Baltimore will get 12ish wins with the other getting the five seed.

New England -Brady or no Brady- is a lock for 10+ wins.

Manning is gonna Manning and win enough to edge out the rest of the division just like he's done for his whole ****ing career.

Miami'll get 10 wins and edge out Cinci/Houston/San Diego/KC/Buffalo for the 6 seed.

**notorious** · 05-09-2015, 03:07 PM

When the Chiefs finally beat Denver, it will probably be a 42-10 blowout.

So much pent-up frustration will gush out in a flurry of Patriot-like rape.

I can't tell who is the bigger reerun. Rerun or discuss?

Haters gonna HATE.

Its what they do in those lame ass things they call lives.

**DaFace** · 05-09-2015, 03:18 PM

I'm actually reasonably optimistic this year. I don't think you could reasonably argue we've gotten substantially worse (with the possible exception of the OL, but I don't think it'll be a huge drop). Our schedule looks to be do-able. I'll say 10-6 just because I've been scarred from setting my expectations too high many times.

8-8, so we can endure another offseason of "if this hadn't happened, the chiefs would have won at LEAST one playoff game, which they will this year, because they only need to do this thing, and this other thing won't happen again!"

The Chiefs...

will NOT...

win a play off game with Alex Smith at the helm.

And that is not sour grapes, it is reality.

Jim Lahey · 05-09-2015, 04:03 PM

I'd say baring key injury, 9 is the floor and 12 is the ceiling. I think this is the year Dorsey and Reid have been waiting on since they arrived. Theyve got the guys they want in the system they want. It's just a matter of executing and not blowing 2 timeouts before the 2 minute warning down 4 in the 4th.

jonzie04 · 05-09-2015, 04:06 PM

11-5 to 13-3. this is the best roster we've had since dorsey and reid took over. we filled a lot of holes this offseason. both conley and rogers have very high celings, and maclin is a perfect fit for smith and is a guy you can trust to win 1v1s. Weve replaced mcglynn with a guy who only gave up 1 sack last season, and weve brought in comp for the o line, and have stephenson, and allen in their contract years. our defense can be something special with dj coming back, and with the additions of peters, branch, and nelson.
