Chiefs Could this team run the table? - Page 2

RaidersOftheCellar · 09-29-2020, 06:15 AM

After dominating arguably the toughest game on the schedule...when do they lose?

If I had to bet, I’d probably say that they’ll have an off night and get tripped up by one of the Bills/Saints/Tampa, or overlook a lesser team. But if there were ever a chance to go 16-0, this is it. The talent and coaching is there, and you’re not going to face an intimidating road atmosphere all season.

Only divisional game I see you guys maybe losing is that last Chargers game, provided you already have your top seeded place in the post season locked in and you are resting the starters. The most likely losses on paper are the Bucs or Bills, both road games, but you'll probably be fine. Any one of the Panthers/Falcons/Saints/Dolphins I think you could lose too despite the fact you should easily handle all of them, for the simple reason "because Chiefs".

14-2 seems right.

If the best team won every game they should...there would be undefeated teams every season. There would 0-16 teams every year also...

Nobody is great everyday.....life doesn't play out like that.

Sometimes the QB catches his own pass for a TD...or has a fumble magically bounce back in hands. *cough*

for me, 100% not concerned with that. Run it back, hell yes. A second Super Bowl win cement this team's legacy, so nothing wrong with dropping a game or two along the way in the regular season. In fact, a good beat down at some point in the season is often needed to get the team refocused. And as somebody else said earlier, there's no need for that added pressure.

Bills game will be really tough. Buffalo is playing well but it’s an a away game in Thursday night. No bigger advantage in football than playing at home on Thursday. I would not be surprised to see us lose that one.

I’m not sure losing to the Saints is quite in “because Chiefs”’territory yet. Saints are on the decline but they’re not in the same category as those other teams.

I’d expect a loss or two, but I don’t think the possibility should be dismissed based on the past. Mahomes already has some unprecedented feats under his belt. Time to start thinking that anything is possible.

nychief · 09-29-2020, 07:27 AM

Naw. We’ll drop one to the Jets or something stupid.

Chris Meck · 09-29-2020, 07:53 AM

I think that IF that were to ever happen again, it would be this team, this season. All the Covid weirdness really screwed teams that had a lot of turnover in players or coaches. We brought nearly everyone back. That's a big advantage. It's nearly impossible though.

BlackOp · 09-29-2020, 07:53 AM

Fitzmagic...seems apropos. Chiefs owe him...he was like the 54th man on their SB run.

scho63 · 09-29-2020, 08:22 AM

CAN we run the table? YES

WILL we run the table? History says no, it is a tough road to always be at peak performance and not have a let down.

Can Steelers get enough pressure on Mahomes? Chargers had our number for almost the whole game.

Could be a shocker with a bad outing.

Injuries are KEY to winning and we are racking up too many. Need to stay healthy.

Here here, you act as if this has happened before! *cough cough*

I don't think Josh Allen is ready to for Patrick Mahomes. He still gets weird under pressure.

Patriots are the next biggest hurdle, and they're a more difficult matchup for the Chiefs than the Ravens were.

BB will adjust his defense, he won't keep throwing blitzes at Mahomes and let his D get burned.

Every team we play this year will have a few Chiefs specific wrinkles, especially the Patriots.

NO, NO, NO.

Stop talking about it.

We want to win a Super Bowl. Undefeated talk is curse-worthy.
