Chiefs' 2008 Opponents Almost Finalized

I'd make the same bet if Steve Grogan was the quarterback for the Patriots. Brady or no Brady, the Chiefs will not beat them and may be lucky to even score. I live and die with the Chiefs every year just like every other true fan. Peterson saw this coming a few years ago and he patched the team together with has beens and lousy draft picks. That's what makes me so angry. If we're going to rebuild, then do it by developing the young talent and leave the Kendrell Bells and Ty Laws to some other chump. I'd rather suffer through a few down years in the hopes of a potential Super Bowl team than back into the playoffs every year with mediocre talent.

Tony, I'd make sure you put a Brady clause in there. If Brady goes down, the Pats might be very beatable.

C Webb:I will bet you $1000.00 and give you 14 points that says there is no way in hell the Chiefs will beat the Patriots next year.

It won't be for quite a while. March, I believe.

Does anyone know when the dates are announced? I have to get to the Saints game somehow.

The Ravens offense makes ours look like Tom Brady and Co., and the defense is older than Sean Connery's balls. Next!

I don't think the Ravens game will be easy. They willeasily beat the Chiefs like they did last year.

We'll be New England. I know... bold. But you heard it here first.

changing staff and players will tell us more on next years schedule, and how easy or hard it will be, as well as home and away... I doubt they do it but Trading LJ for an O-left tackle would be a great move for the chiefs... and it allows a much bigger jump in the team to advance this next year.

That's about as favorable a schedule we can be dealt. I am reserving full judgement until I see what teams will be working on new coaches and what the new rosters for each team will look like.

You're putting a lot of faith in Carl's draft and free agent signing prowess. Again, on paper, it is a favorable schedule (if we had the talent to compete). I won't argue that. However, they won't be playing the games on paper. From where I sit they need to replace the entire O-line with the exception of McIntosh and Waters, both corners, the place kicker, and a wide receiver.  Trading LJ for draft picks would help. Kolby Smith ran behind a pitiful line after Johnson was injured. He would be more than adequate as the featured back. There are just to many holes to fill and not enough money or picks to fill them for us to compete with the better teams.

Yeah, again, I'm not saying we will win all these games. I'm saying that the schedule could be much, much worse. Atlanta, Carolina, Miami and Oakland twice should be five wins just with L.J. back, if you ask me. Those franchises are going nowhere and have far less to build on than we do. If we can just win five of the remaining 11, that's ten wins. Very doable granted we have a productive offseason, which I think we will. In fact, it will be hard not to win at least seven-eight with that schedule.

The point is not to debate our matchups with these teams. The point is that the schedule we will have vs. other possible schedules is very favorable. We could pull a Miami next year and it doesn't change the fact that the schedule we're set up with is very easy... in fact one of the easiest in my memory. Now, what we do with that schedule..that's another subject.

What team have you been watching Adam? We lost to San Diego, Oakland, Denver twice, and Tennessee. Tampa Bay and New England are playoff teams this year. Assuming the same results with the AFC West teams and a sure loss at New England, that's already 5 losses. Are you telling me that we can win the other 11 games? While I don't have the NFL ticket, it doesn't take a Harvard grad to see that while on paper, the schedule appears easy, we are talking about the Chiefs who have found ways to lose winnable games all year.

You obviously don't have the NFL Ticket. Would you rather have seen Green Bay, Jacksonville and Indy again, plus, let's say, Dallas, Pittsburgh and Seattle? All I'm saying is that schedules don't get much easier than this in the NFL.

Favorable schedule?! I don't see one game that I'd say was a cakewalk. Don't you realize the other teams are going to get better too? No sir, I think this team is going to be in decline for a few years. Just like in the late 70's and 80's, the powers that be in the organization let our team get to old to be competitive. The fish stinks from the head down and it's time for Carl (Jack Steadman) Peterson to go and take Herman Edwards with him. One more thing, if anyone believes Brody Croyle is going to take this team to the promised land, I'd like to interest you in some prime real estate!

Do we have to play the Bengals every year. I am getting sick of playing them, I guess at least its away.
