How good are you feeling about the Chiefs this year?

**Cardinals Krew** · 08-12-2010, 12:07 PM

With Denver's injury issues, the Chargers holdouts, and Oaklands question marks, I feel the Chiefs have a very good chance to land a wildcard. Hell, there is an outside chance they can win the division.

What do you think?

I won't know a thing until I see them actually play. Right now, I feel .500. I do think that the Chiefs and Raiders have a chance to compete for the division. It is just a matter of how much did the Chiefs improve, and can the Raiders over come being the Raiders.

It will be a tough season. The good news, though, is that I see what the Chiefs are building and I think this year is just a step towards what they will become. I think Pioli and Haley are doing it right. They didn't blow the bank on FA, and once this new CBA is put in place, I think they are poised to seriously upgrade in areas they were not able to fix in the draft. Next years could be huge.

Always next yeah. I'm tired of hearing that.

I has not always been next year for me. I am a very big skeptic of life...I truly like the way things are headed for the Chiefs right now. I can see the light.

Wild Card? No way. The only way they get into the playoffs is if they win the division. As I said in a previous post, we will know a lot more about this team after week 5.

Yeah, we'd have to deal with the Texans, Titans, Jets, Dolphins, Patriots, Steelers, Bengals, and the Ravens. That's just too many teams to deal with. Adding the Raiders to this list isn't a bad idea either.

i say 75% chance of wining the division. I like the way we are looking and there are a great deal of players and coaches trying to make a statement.

I'm going to say they have a one in four chance of winning the division...

Why would you want to go out on such a limb?

I think how we do depends on whether five key guys improve to what management considers their potential: Cassel, Albert, Bowe, DJ, and Jackson. If those five guys play above average (by that, I mean as if they were top-15 at their position), then we have a very good shot of winning our division. If they don't, we don't.
