The 2008 Schedule: Knee-Jerk Reaction Part Two

Home » Chiefs » Breaking News » The 2008 Schedule: Knee-Jerk Reaction Part Two

Part two of the Chiefs‘ 2008 schedule, as promised…

Week 10: @ San Diego

We snuck up on them before Norv Turner and his band of cronies discovered L.T. It won’t happen this year.

Prediction: Loss (3-6)

Week 11: NEW ORLEANS

When the Saints come marching in they’re going to march up and down the field considering our corners. No way we take this one. I just don’t see it.

Prediction: Loss (3-7)

Week 12: BUFFALO

We catch a break here and catch a fellow rebuilding team. The Sea of Red is the difference in a fugly game. Edwards…Croyle…be there! Yuck.

Prediction: Win (4-7)

Week 13: @ Oakland

And the streak ends here at one win. I think the Raiders could very well be quite a bit better than us by this point, especially if they draft Darren McFadden. We’ll see.

Prediction: Loss (4-8)

Week 14: @ Denver

I actually think the Raiders could be better than the Broncos in ’08, but that doesn’t change anything here. We always lose in Denver. Always. We drop another one here.

Prediction: Loss (4-9)

Week 15: SAN DIEGO

We very well could have a rookie quarterback playing at this point. Either because it’s Matt Ryan and Croyle has been yanked, or because Croyle has gone all M*A*S*H on us and some other rook (or Tyler Thigpen) is getting a shot. The Bolts electrocute us on their way to another playoff run.

Prediction: Loss (4-10)

Week 16: MIAMI

When things look like they can’t get any worse, it’s always nice to get an early Christmas present–the Dolphins on the schedule! The Chiefs take out their frustration on The Tuna and his Fins. Finally, another “W.”

Prediction: Win (5-10)

Week 17: CINCINNATI

Ocho Cinco and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are going to destroy our ~~Cover 2~~ “Cover Who?” defense. I fully expect the Bengals to put up a ton of points on a Chiefs team with nothing to play for, exacting revenge for the ’07 game in the process.

Prediction: Loss (5-11)

There you have it.

I’m predicting (pre-draft) that the Chiefs go 5-11 in ’08

That’s one game better than this year. The good news is that if we screw up and don’t pick Matty Ice this year, then we’ll be in the running for Tim Tebow in ’09. We’ll get that franchise quarterback I so desperately covet and most Chiefs fans, not to mention King Carl, act like is a plague.

Here's another way to look at the Chiefs schedule - name one NFL team that right now would not be feeling pretty good about having the Chiefs on their schedule this year?

spam
offensive
disagree
off topic

The problem is, there are no franchise QBs. Ryan isn't one and you're nuts if you think Tebow will be a good NFL QB.

You need to learn to seperate college from the NFL. There is a big difference.

Ian Brennan

and wasn't Croyle in his second year last year....he had a year to learn with Trent and Huard....we were a bad team last year....we have a good defense but i have said this before offense wins championships Defense help....you have to score to win...and we don't have the line and probably still won't have the line to let our playmakers make plays plain and simple

agreed zach...thank you

Ian BRennan

LJ was fine until he broke his foot and he sucked during the year....so who is to say he will have a good year this year if he couldn't even do it when he was healthy last year....IF we don't get Long we are relying on second rounders or lower to save ouer offense of line....the line will not be that much better than last year....And we don't havfe a decent kicker on the staff as of right now either. and the jury is still out on Croyle to say we will win 10 games is just plain ignorance and wishful thinking

Zach

I love all of our readers and everything about this site. BUT

HOW THE HELL DOES ANYONE THINK OUR OL IS BETTER AT THIS POINT?

Sure you can say the draft will change things but that means we are still playing rookies. We also still have 3 spots open on the OL. People want to point to Tony Ugoh or others drafted last year, but that was 1 guy being added to a solid OL. Not three rookies being added to a bad OL.

Snead

Let be real, the chiefs went 4-12 last year, because mostly of a rookie QB, an injured LJ, and an aging OL. I believe Croyle will be better this year, even if he is not, the fact we have a healthy LJ will give us at least a few more wins. Not to mention our OL issues will be addressed through the draft. Even with our woes last year, if we had a decent kicker we would of beaten the colts, we should have beaten Green Bay, and we easily could have been 8-8. If things go well, we could win 10 games this year and that depends on Croyle as we have a LOT of good players on offense and defense.

I'm not going to Chiefs games because I live in WV and it's an awfully long drive and I hate to fly. I've done both to watch a game. Just trying to lighten the mood. Although, Tebow will never be an NFL quarterback unless he does more with his arem and less with his legs.

Thank you and have a nice day.

I second and raise Crane's "W-H-A-C-K" to a resounding "wiggity-whack." Let's not attack our fellow Chiefs fans for having an opinion. We all want 16 19-0 (haha Patriots! Suck it!), but I'd never put money on it. Adam, Zach, and Arrowhead Addict rock the heezy.

-cw

Crane

Roc- We aren't going to the games unless we shore up the line...I thought we'd established that. Calling Adam on the carpet for being a realist is what's W-H-A-C-K.

Jeremy (Riverside, CA)

Again, we can win eight of those games!

Josh

Please tell me you are NOT serious about drafting Tim Tebow. That would set KC back years... Tebow will be Ryan Leaf "bustesque"

ROC27

AND go ahead and be condesending by saying, "Oh, it seems like Ive struck a nerve." . . . Well, youre damn right you struck a nerve. Why? Because Im a passionate fan who feels our team is a lot better than what we get credit for. And Adam, I DO appreciate what you and the rest of the bros here at AA have done by giving us the BEST and most amazing Chiefs Blog online, but seeing stuff like THIS is EXTREMELY dissapointing.

and Im NOT gonna sit here and argue with you over YOUR opinion. . . cause thats all this is, its YOUR OPINION. BUT Im also not gonna buy into the prediction that our team will pratically be as bad as last season (reminds me of a fake Psychic with a horrible Jamaican accent). . . and THATS when FAITH comes in. Why watch or go to the games if youre EXPECTING them to lose. . . its dumb and pointless.

And when fans of other teams (Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, etc) see crap like THIS, it makes it EXTREMELY HARD to defend OUR team! This is non-sense, and Im gonna book mark this post, so for EVERY game WE do WIN, Im gonna remind you what your wack ass prediction was. . . Some Fan. . . And YES having faith is WHY we are LOYAL fans. . . Otherwise, we'd ALL be Patriots, Cowboys or Colts fans. . . . This is embarassing. . . . One of our own.

Hahahaha! Ahh. . . 5-11? Wow. . . Ya know, Adam, Im NOT asking you to be an unrealistic, wishful thinker. . . but Christ, cut us a little slack. Do you REALLY think we'll lose THAT many games? It seems like you've forgotten that LJ is coming back, that our O Line SHOULD be ugraded by then, that our D (which Won ALL our games last season) & a possible addition of a Dorsey or Ellis spells 'domination', that Brodie could really hurt teams with T.G., D Bowe, and a legit #2 WR. . .

Adam

Tebow is projected to be a top-five pick, fellas. I wouldn't have mentioned him otherwise. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about on this one.

Merlin, we'd have to have the draft of the decade for me to just bump us up to 7-9, so...I don't see what the big deal is. We're not going to win a lot of football games.

Jason

Tebow would be our fullback.

John

Agree - in the NFL Tebow could end up being a kinda slow, kinda chubby WR.

I agree with Kudave--I don't see Tebow translating to the NFL. I put cash on him turning into a Matt Jones-esque WR or some flex player.

Kudave

Tebow would be the final piece Edwards is looking for to run the most ho-hum, put you to sleep O in the league. FINALLY Herm has a qb that can pass it, hand it off or even execute the power running game, all in one player. Lets not go for a real field general, lets draft the next Leftwich shmuck to be booed off the Arrowhead turf!!

MasterBlaster

If we go 11-5 I want oher

hey guys go check out warpaintillustrated. They have a crazy draft scinereo. We trade down with patriots and use that trade to trade up our 2nd with the cowboys for their 22nd. We get 2 top corner backs and 2 top OT's. Oh and we trade Allen for the falcons 3 2nd round picks..its frickin crazy. But a really interesting scinereo ive never considered
