What are your predictions for the Chiefs this year? 10-6 or 6-10? I gave up such predictions several years ago when I realized I couldn’t be objective about my team. I would always end up with some variant of 14-2 even in the days when Steve Bono or Mark Vlasic were playing.
When friends ask me now, “Hey Mark, how do you think the Chiefs are going to do this year?” I simply comeback with a stock answer: “It may be touch and go for a bit, but I think they’ll surprise a few people.”
I can confidently say that sentence has been true for the last 16 seasons.
A survey of the various opinions about the Chiefs for the 2007 will quickly reveal that nobody really gives the Chiefs much of a chance this year to even be moderately successful. Most power rankings have them among the bottom five teams in the league. This is a very common pre-season ranking for our team and I can objectively say that aside from 2001 and 1998, it has been consistently wrong.
This year the twist seems to be that we have no quarterback and that our running back will be carted of the field by week four. Well, our no-quarterback did go 5-3 last year with an offensive line that might have been worse than the one we’ll field this year (assuming Damion McIntosh is healthy). I’ll be shocked if LJ doesn’t have another stellar season, rushing the ball 350-380 times.
2007 will be an interesting year… nobody is expecting anything from our defense, so that may be where the biggest surprises come. So, like I said, I won’t make any predictions, but if we do go 14-2… don’t say I didn’t warn ya…that would be quite a surprise!
