I think it's possible, just not probable. I AM however looking for at least 4-2! What do you guys think?

I expect one more 'W'. Not that I would be surprised to get three more. But I only expect to win one.
We have two games that we would be favored at home, I think, in the Bengals and Raiders. Both of those teams are awful, but both have more personnel talent than we do. They just lack coaching and discipline.
I think the Bengals decide to win their last game of the season. I think the Raiders rush for 200+ yards against us in Oakland.
I think we lose by 10 to 20 points to the Bills, Broncos, Chargers, and Dolphins.
I think the Chiefs would have a difficult time beating Texas Tech in a shootout right now with their secondary as bad as it is.
I think we go 1-15.
I blame Herm Edwards and hate him more than any man alive.
I think we beat Oakland, Cinci, SD and Denver.
Bills will probably beat us, but I still say there's an offensive shootout and we have a chance.
Miami will do that wildcat crap and make it impossible for us to stop the run and I don't think we can handle them, but hey, who knows?!
4-2, 5-1 or 6-0 is how I see us playing it out the rest of the season.
Well:
QB: Thigpen over Russell - Advantge Chiefs
RB: McFadden, Bush, and Fargas over LJ, Kolby, and Charles - Advantage Raiders
FB: I don't know if the Raiders have one
TE: Gonzo over Miller - Advantage Chiefs
LT: Albert over Kwame Harris - Advantage Chiefs
LG: Waters over Gallery - Advantage Chiefs
C: Grove over Niswanger - Advantage Raiders
RG: Carlisle over Albai Jones - Advantage Raiders
RT: Cornell Green over McIntosh - Advantage Raiders
WR1: Bowe over Walker - Advantage Chiefs
WR2: Bradley over Chaz Schilenz - Advantage Chiefs
LDE: Richardson over Boone/McBride - Advantage Raiders
RDE: Derrick Burgess over Tamba Hali - Advantage Raiders
1DT: Tommy Kelly over Dorsey - Advantage Raiders
2DT: Gerard Warren over Tank - Advantage Raiders
LOLB: DJ over Brown - Advantage Chiefs
MLB: Morrison over Pat Thomas - Advantage Raiders
ROLB: Howard over Donnie Edwards - Advantage Raiders
CB1: Nnamdi over Flowers - Advantage Raiders
CB2: Carr over Johnson - Advantage Chiefs
FS: Eugene over Page - Advantage Raiders
SS: Wilson over Pollard - Advantage Raiders
K: Janikowski over Barth - Advantage Raiders
P: Tie between Colquitt and Lechler
I'm ranking these players as they are now. I'd agree, for example, that Tank and Dorsey may have more upside than Kelly and Warren, but they are playing worse this season.
That's Chiefs 8, Raiders 14, Tie 1, Unscored 1.
I'd be the first to admit that having a real QB gives us a massive advantage. But we are deficient at most positions.
The Faids QB is soooo horrible tho if we just commit to stopping the run and make JR win by throwing, we got it.
They just stopped throwing in the last game because nobody was doing anything and ran it practically every play.
We will both be playing like we have nothing to lose, but JR is not good enuf to play like that. We have an offense now. So it will be different.
Their return game is better than ours I think. And Im not impressed with our special team coverage, so that will come in to play.
I predicted before the season started that the Chiefs would go 3-13. Right now they're not even on a pace for that!!!!
HUGE changes need to be made in the off-season.
Thigpen is giving me hope though. If he continues to play the way he has been the rest of the season and stays healthy, he could turn out to be a pretty good QB and really help turn the Chiefs around.
I think we'll beat the Bengals and Raiders.
It's possible to win any of these games. San Diego, for instance, we lost by just one point at their place. And if that 2 point conversion succeeds, then we win. We were beating the red hot Jets late in the 4th qtr at their place. And it took overtime for TB to beat us. Our schedule is also against medicore or bad teams the rest of the way.
But seeing as how we're 1-9, and lost 18 of 19, I also wouldn't expect us to win most of them. I felt rather optimistic against the Saints. Normally I would against Buffalo too, since the Bills are struggling like the Saints, and since it's at Arrowhead again. But we just have so many problems right now, and these other teams like NO and now Buffalo, Denver, SD, Miami, are in the playoff hunt and will be hard to beat for that reason too.
Oakland and Cinci, I agree, are our best bets. More so, Oakland. They are playing some pretty awful football these days (50 points scored in the last 6 games!) and this time Thigpen should generate more offense than he did back in week 2 (before his effectiveness of the past 4 games started). And hopefully this time the Faders also don't run all over us again (300 plus yards?!).
