Football AFC West - 7 games left - Page 3

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...

Denver would still be in first in our division as they have beaten us once and we would have the same record as them.

Look for SD to bounce back.

Chargers last 5 games are downright brutal

And by virtue of better division record, but then there are different tie breakers for 3-way ties. KC over NE, NE over Den, Den over KC. moot point because the Chiefs lost to the Titans. IF there is a 3-way tie other factors will play such as best conf record, common opponent etc. I think Den and NE will be in that discussion and KC will be involved in the WC tie-breaker. But one never knows with 7 games left and only 1 game out...

You know that D will be up for Peyton.

I'm sure that's the case with every defense - how could you not 'be up' for stopping that offense?

STL has the #14 overall defense.
#14 vs the pass, giving up 234 ypg / 13 TDs and only 4 INTs
#24 vs the rush, giving up 124 ypd / 9 TDs

They have faced MIN, Tampa, KC, SEA, DAL, SFF (2X), AZ, PHI...

Austin Davis hasn't been horrible, but they are far from prolific. It's in a dome, which doesn't hurt Denver at all.

I think we match up pretty well with the Steelers.

I was about to propose that the universe will explode, but I guess it's kind of the same thing.

I'm liking that Andy isn't abandoning the run game. At times he needed to yesterday to try and move the ball. I'm excited for the end of this schedule, and wow was I dead wrong about this team. I'm glad. Props to this front office, coaching staff and players.

Mother****erJones · 11-10-2014, 04:44 PM

We really need to get Denver. I want that win so bad. I think we have a legit shot. We're due to beat that ****ing team. I'm so sick of losing to Peyton.

I hear ya, but it's not gonna happen without a better pass rush, Their OL gets away with murder - especially holding Tamba. Choke holds are legal it seems...

TripleThreat · 11-10-2014, 04:58 PM

I don't see the broncos not finishing 14-2 to be completely honest.. I could maybe see them at the VERY least finish 12-4 bearing a KC/SD/CIn upset. And out of those 3 games I only see the possibility of 2 of those being a loss, no way they lose all 3 or any of the other games..

The real question is can we beat 12-4? most likely not since we are 6-3 and will lose to Denv more likely than not giving them the tie breaker.. We are fighting for a WC spot

Man we can't get to the one who sucks the penis regardless. We just need TDs not FGs.
