Seattle over Chiefs in the Superbowl. The two losses to Denver did more good for the Chiefs than any of the wins this year. I would have no fear of Indy or the Bengals, NE aren’t the same team without Gronk and its very hard for a team to beat a division rival three times in one year. Both losses to Denver where just a few plays from being wins, particularly in Arrowhead. If we get to play them again we will make those plays and win the game.[/quote]
The Chiefs still have to win in San Diego!! Might be a shoot out.[/quote]
Technically we don’t have to, as we a pretty firmly locked in the 5th seed, but it sure would be nice. I think it will be a good game, something like 30-24 Chiefs. Justin Houston will be back which is a major plus, we would never have lost in Arrowhead if him and Hali had not got injured. We were up 14-3 and rolling. But you can’t make excuses injuries happen. Chargers better than their record suggests. Hope they don’t sneak into playoffs.[/quote]
Yup, can’t make injury excuses. You know how many o-lineman the Chargers have had to shuffle around this year? There was one game where there was only one starter playing because two guys were already out for the game and two others got hurt during it. Good teams find a way to win even when their players get hurt or are out.
I’m not trying to bag on the Chiefs are anything because I think they are a good team and I predicted they would do good this year, but they are overrated as to what their schedule says. They have beaten basically nobody unless you count the Cowboys and Eagles. The Eagles are a completely different team now than when the Chiefs played them before. Don’t get me wrong I would love to see the Chiefs beat out the Broncos in the playoffs, but they already had their chance twice and couldn’t do it either time. I just don’t think they can do it under Alex Smith.[/quote]
The Bronco’s have faced almost the exact same strength of schedule as us, you can only play the team in front of you and as is shown every week, there are no easy wins. Cleveland nearly won in NE for example. Last year the only quality team the Broncos beat was the Ravens and at that time the Ravens were playing like dirt. They have had two years of easy schedules that no one ever talks about.
Alex Smith is no Peyton Manning but he will win you games and as he gets more comfortable in the offense he is improving rapidly. In the last four weeks he is averaging 212 yards a game, has thrown 9 TDs and only 2 INTS. Not amazing but pretty effective.
I honestly believe its very hard to beat a close rival 3 times in one year, we weren’ that far off the Broncos, particularly in Arrowhead. It would be tough and obv the Broncos would be hot favourites. Stranger things have happened though.

I’m just saying, the Chiefs had two chances to make a statement game against the Broncos and didn’t come through. [/quote]
I fully understand what you are saying, anyone looking at it objectively without a pro KC bias would pick Denver. Just a personal hunch. [/quote]
Haha, of course. After the Pats lose Gronk and lose to the Dolphins, I don’t see anybody beating out the Broncos in the AFC.
