Football AFC West - 7 games left - Page 9

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...

Why not just state the truth of the matter. you think the Broncos are the better team. And that's understandable. I could respect that more than some silly spin that you are trying to do.

I have a bullshit meter, and you are full of it.

Honestly, the truth from rival fans doesn't go far here and is lost thanks to the trolls, but that's fine.

Thinking the dolphins broncos will be a good matchup?

Denver has issues, just as KC and Indy.

The days of fun banter around here are long since gone.

Alright. Lets reset. Ill answer this objectively. Its no fun being the little brother. And usually, fun banter happens when teams are equal. The Chiefs are 0-manning correct?

Flip it the other way, if you were constantly getting little brothered would you feel like being playful when older brother came in and essentially put you in your place?

Just asking honestly how you would feel about a thread like this on your board.

I don't think either team has an easy schedule the rest of the way.

Division games are always unpredictable...

Possibly, Denver should beat them by 10 at home.

Hootie · 11-17-2014, 10:59 AM

the Pats better hope they don't run into us in the postseason

we are literally the worst possible matchup for them

O.city · 11-17-2014, 10:59 AM

Dolphin defense is pretty good and the broncos offense is pretty beat up though

The truth?

Lets discuss the truth. The entire world seems to think that the Patriots are the end all be all.

But, who was their last loss? The truth is, the broncos, your broncos, have some HUGE red flags right now. You aren't playing good defense right now, and have suffered really bad losses recently.

The Chiefs really are playing the most consistent football in the AFC right now, and only because they don't put up eye popping stats through the air, are being overlooked.

That is the truth of the matter. Homer aside.

And as you said I believe, if Sanders, and Julius Thomas are out for any extended amount of time, you could be in real trouble.

Those are the facts to be honest.

Who's worried about the Cardinals game we still have to play

Has there ever been a person more disrespected without deserving it than ME on this board?

I never came here trolling, being disrespectful, or anything, yet I was assaulted more than anyone ever on this board.

You preaching to me about respect is comical. I never disrespect anyone, until I feel disrespected. And his assumptions were disrespectful.

That's just how I feel. Maybe you are desensitized and are content being the little brother. I am not yet at that level of compassion.

I still have the fire in my belly sir.

Every one should be. Their defense is amazing.

We're going to lose one more at least. This is the one that we can most afford to lose.

I would take a loss to them, as long as we beat the Broncos.

So I say next year we cut Devito and have Howard as our other starting DE.
