Not a KC fan, but find myself rooting for the Chiefs in the AFC this year...

...just getting tired of hearing the talking heads on ESPN say the Chiefs are not as good as their record (it's the NFL, and the Chiefs are in one of the toughest divisions; they ARE as good as their record...)

...would love to hear them continue to say this crap right up until the Chiefs are hoisting the Lombardi trophy over their heads!

No one is perfect, but let's face it, Andy Reid can coach some football.

With a "Gronk less" team. I think Chiefs have a shot at beating New England. But they got to get there first.

Tennessee, Denver, then at San Diego. Would feel a lot better about it with DJ. but if they run the table...

Last 25 games they're 21-4. Good time to be a fan.

My worst fears with Andy are the same they were with Marty. I dont understand once we have a lead we shut down the offense. I also cannot stand the redzone offense. I dont even know where to look it up but i would be interested in how many trick plays we have ran inside the 10 yard line. Annoying, run it or throw it. hell weve got Kelce (beast) and Harris whos 6'7" heck Conley is a big target as well. Sucks losing Johnson, I feel more for him than the CHIEFS though. Dude worked hard to get back to where he was and is a non showboat go to work linebacker. Nice having Maclin back for the stretch run, that will help Smith out even more. As far as New England, I think Brady is the greatest QB to ever play the game. Without Gronk, he just aint got the weapons especially if he doesnt have home field...To me Pittsburgh is the scariest matchup for us in the AFC. Ben and company with Bell is spooky. Their defense isnt great but that O can put up points in a hurry......

Here's hoping that the Chiefs continue to play well but they still have me holding my breath... Losing Derrick Johnson is a huge blow to their defense. The guy has never received the credit that he deserves not only for his play but for his leadership on the field. He very quietly is selected to play in the Pro Bowl every year. The entire front seven has sustained huge season ending injuries this season yet they continue to line up and play well. How much longer can this go on ?

I would agree with 'peat on Pittsburgh. The Chiefs patchwork front seven has difficulty stopping the run. The Steelers are equipped to exploit that as are the Raiders if they were to meet the Chiefs again.

I find myself rooting hard for Baltimore to keep Pittsburgh out. Hopefully Cincinnati can help and beat Pittsburgh down the stretch. Though I do think if the Chiefs were to meet the Steelers again, KC will have a big fire lit for what happened last time.

If things hold as they are now, I suspect Chiefs will get either Pittsburgh or Baltimore in divisional round. Either way a tough draw. Would rather it is the Ravens though they have a much tougher D than Pittsburgh.
