Chiefs $100 bet the Chiefs go > 8-8 in 2018

wutamess · 01-12-2018, 11:01 AM

I've been riding A. Smith's ass for years to my co-worker. He swears it's everyone elses fault besides Smith EVERY YEAR. I'm not even upset at the TN "Tighten's" playoff loss as I don't think Smith could lead us anywhere. Before the game I was telling everyone, if Smith gets hurt, we go to the Superbowl. That's neither here nor there.

He'll point out everything BUT Smith: Andy. Our horrible defense. Dropped passes. WR's not getting open.

I've been on the PM bandwagon all year and his argument has been that PM will turn the ball over more, etc. I keep trying to explain to him that the team will ride with him and overlook his "rookie/1st year" mistakes as they know what he's capable of. PM will also make WR's look better and seem open. The defense will be better as well. Basically PM will mask a lot of team issues instead of the team needing to overcompensate for him.

He was wanting me to put my $ where my mouth is by saying $100 if the Chiefs make the playoffs. I didn't want that bet. If Denver get's a QB with that Defense and running game, they could go on another SB run. And then Gruden might bring some stability to the Raiders debacle of an organization.

Anyways, we settled on winning record. If the Chiefs go 8-8, it's a wash.

HOME:
Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers

AWAY:
Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks

So stoked about next year more than any Chiefs off-season in my life.

Den is a QB away from a SB run?

Are they getting Aaron Rodgers somehow?

I would take that bet as well. Good choice.

If denver had a Kirk Cousins, Case Keenum, or even Alex Smith, they are probably a better team than us this year.

You should use a win percentage in the event a tie makes it way in there. It's also too early to make predictions, a lot can happen between now and TC

You must have missed the episode where they won with Osweiler and Manning playing his worst season ever.

Reerun_KC · 01-12-2018, 11:48 AM

8-8 would be a solid year considering it’s year one of Mahomes and we’re in complete Defensive rebuild mode.

You mean when they had an all world defense and a bad ass DC to get the most talent possible out of them?

The away schedule looks brutal. But with a little luck as far as injuries 9-7 very possible.

I badly want to support this idea, but the reality is we'll be installing a new system, probably focused on rebuilding the cap, possibly (hopefully) building around a new defense in a tougher division. I want to be realistic about Mahomes' learning curve. I think there's a great chance he'll show beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's the better QB, but I also think he'll have costly mistakes as any young QB will make.

Any Alex Smith fan who sees 1 playoff win in 5 years, and is pissed about us losing that can get bent.

Chiefs will go 19-0 so that's a good bet

What position groups, aside from QB, RB and TE do we have that are better than the donks?

KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN · 01-12-2018, 12:47 PM

That's a good bet. The schedule isn't as bad as most people think it is. The only teams that are on the way up are the Rams and the Jaguars and we can hold our own with them. The Seahawks, Steelers, and Patriots are getting older and slower. I can see 12-4 or 11-5 easily.
