  • You look at the teams they've played so far this season:

    Sun, 8 Sep
    @
    Jaguars
    W 28 - 2
    Final
    Jaguars - say no more.
    Sun, 15 Sep
    vs.
    Cowboys
    W 16 - 17
    Final
    A reasonable team, with a horrible defense, that they only scored 17 on. Ok, they held a good offense to 16.
    Fri, 20 Sep
    @
    Eagles
    W 26 - 16
    Final
    Nope.
    Sun, 29 Sep
    vs.
    Giants
    W 7 - 31
    Final
    Winless at the time, playing horribly
    Sun, 6 Oct
    @
    Titans
    W 26 - 17
    Final
    Were playing well - then Jake Locker got injured and Fitzpatrick had to play.
    Sun, 13 Oct
    vs.
    Raiders
    W 7 - 24
    Final
    Not as awful as you think - not much better though.
    Sun, 20 Oct
    vs.
    Texans
    W 16 - 17
    Final

    Matt Schaub not playing. Maybe that hindered KC, but Case Keenum isn't exactly Peyton Manning.

    so really, they've not had a big challenge. Not saying that we're a great challenge, but we have arguably the best D of all the teams they've faced so far, and they've been averaging 24 points. Is it realistic to think we can hold them around/under 20 with no brainfarts from our QB? Probably.

    But either way, we're probably not quite good enough to win, there, just yet. With our third string QB, at least. With Hoyer, probably we've got a great chance.

    Next up for the Chiefs is Buffalo - sans EJ Manuel. looks like they might go 9-0. Then end up losing then next 7 games or so:

    Broncos

    Chargers

    Broncos

    Redskin

    Raiders

    Colts

    Chargers

    The might pick up a win from Oakland, and maybe Washington, RG3 dependent. But seriously, a team starting 9-0, and ending up 10-6. A bit like Houston last year, going, what, 11-1 and ending up 11-5?

  • Yes. They are a 7-0 team. Hopefully they aren't an 8-0 team, but to be honest I'm a bit worried. The browns more or less belong in a category with all those other teams you mentioned right now

  • I agree. I think our D is at least a level above those teams, but I'm pretty sure all of us would consider Vick, Romo, Locker and Manning, a step up on our QB situation. We're probably about the level of those teams.

  • the Chiefs are very, very good and are a 7-0 team. The defense is lights out and they have a QB who doesn't make mistakes. They thrive in close games as well. The only reason the Chiefs were a bad team last year is because of QB play. The browns are honestly in an eerily similar situation as they were.

    I never buy into the idea that teams are only doing well because of who they've played. Statistically more than half the teams in the NFL aren't playoff caliber. the NFL is all about beating the teams you're supposed to beat, which the Chiefs have done. Winning breeds confidence as well, which is extremely important.

  • As Bill Parcells said: You are what your record says you are. So, yes, the Chiefs ARE a 7-0 team.

    What you are really asking is: Are the Chiefs really the best team in the AFCW....the AFC....the NFL since they now have the best record.

    I would venture to say no. I don't think they will likely be playing in the NFL version of the Final Four come January. But for now they have beaten everyone that has been put in front of them...and no one else can make that claim.

    But even as such, yes, I think the Browns have a fair chance of defeating them come Sunday.

  • Well, what I mean is, there are some teams who have a decent chance of going 7-0 year in, year out - Patriots, Packers, now Broncos etc. Then you have teams like the Texans last year, who got off to a lightning start, but fell apart at the end (i think the cards did similar, going 4-0, then 5-11). The point is, they maybe play the lighter end of their schedule early on, and if you were to mix up the schedule they wouldn't be going anywhere near 7-0.

  • Yeah, I think they are. They used to be one of the very worst, But the drafts have

    built them up.

    If Hoyer was qb'ing, I'd say the Browns would beat them this Sunday.

    Hopefull, Campbell gains some fire, and goes out there to win, instead of looking like

    a grumpy dress shop mannequin.

  • Lights out so far. But this is the defense we put 30 points on, and with Brandon Weeden no less.

  • I think theres a stat that mentions the chiefs are AVERAGING 10:30 time of possession in the 4th quarter alone. that is an awfully scary stat.. that means they can run the ball and pick up first downs when it counts.

    that is why they excel in close games. and that defense 3 n outs quick.

  • The Chiefs are very good this year, and to imply our defense will shut them down is insane....we have been shredded every game since we beat the Bills. I hope we win Sunday, I just don't see it happening.

    another reason they were bad last year

  • Andy Reid is one hell of a lot better coach then we have had.

    Which would be better than watching Weeden throw picks to both of them, plus give up sack fumbles to Hali and Johnson. Then for good measure throwing a pick six to both Smith and Lewis.

    One of those picks would be undoubtedly be thrown underhanded

  • OH HELL NO!!

  • just for perspective here...the Cleveland browns have 19 sacks for the whole team. Justin Houston and Tamba Hall, KC's two OLB'ers....have 19 sacks between the two of them. As a team they have 35 sacks. That team is no fucking joke
