The remaining home games would be New Orleans, Buffalo, San Diego, and Miami. The remaining road games would be Oakland, Denver, and Cincinnati. Considering what it would take to do it and where they would be coming from in accomplishing it, there is absolutely no conceivable way that making the playoffs this season should ever result in an "inferiority" complex. If they play well enough to make the playoffs, there will be probably be only 2, maybe 3 teams strong enough (teams they may very likely have already faced earlier in the season) at that point to derail the confidence that would have been built by a string successive wins coming over the last half of the season. And don't forget a lot can (and will) change in the NFL over the course of the final eight weeks.

That being said I dont think not making the playoffs would be a bad thing, I honestly think we would get our hats (helmets) handed to us. That doesnt develop maturity and confidence but inferiority complexes. I think when you are playing football you play to win as many games as you can and go as far as you can go.

Yeah, I thought so. If the Chiefs somehow play well enough down the stretch to win the division then I like their chances about as much as anybody's in this conference. Say what you will about Herm, the fact remains that he has managed to win a couple of playoff games with teams that nobody expected to be in contention. In fact, I can't think of any Chiefs' coaches in recent memory who have managed to do as much even with supposedly much better teams than Herm has had to work with. Draft schmaft. Getting into the playoffs would do far more for the development, maturity, and confidence of this team than any yet-to-be-proven college prospect. Do I think it is very likely to happen? Not really - I expect San Diego to make one final, desperate run this season before they fade into the obscurity for which AJ and Norv are now laying the foundation.

Not the time to get in the ring with the heavyweights yet. I agree I dont think Im up for the kick in the ocho cinco’s the post season would surely bring.

Personally, I'm glad we aren't in position to win the division. That playoff birth would be a road trip to the slaughterhouse and we wouldn't get a good pick. Let the Donks (who I hate more than the Raiders...easily) or the Bolts take that trip. Good stuff, DD. Personally, I’m glad we aren’t in position to win the division.
