At the start of the year, I picked the Chiefs to win 4 and lose 12 on the season. This would be a 2 win improvement over last year. My thought was that a new GM (New England's Scott Pioli) and coach (Arizona's Todd Haley) would probably be enough to improve slightly over last year.
Todd Haley made a very stupid statement when he got the job. He said "You can take 22 guys off the street and win 2 games". After last Sunday's loss, I am wondering where those 2 games are. Oakland at home appears to tbe the easiest game they will play all year.
As I look at the schedule, only the Denver and Cleveland games look like potential wins. The Chief's schedule is a difficult one. The next potential win is a long time from now. Here is how I see the season going:
- Philadelphia ------------ Loss
- New York Giants (H)----Loss
- Dalas Cowboys (H)------Loss
- Washinton Redskins-----Loss
- San Deigo (H)-----------Loss
- Jacksonville -------------Loss (0-7 at this point)
- Oakland Raiders -------Possible Win
- Pittsburgh Steelers (H)-Loss
- San Deigo Chargers-----Loss
- Denver Broncos (H) ----Possible Win
- Buffalo Bills (H) --------Loss
- Cleveland Browns (H)--Possible Win
- Cincinnati Bengals------Possible Win
- Denver Broncos -------Loss
Only one of the 4 possible wins are at home, so going 2 and 2 is generous. I now see the Chiefs as going 2-14, same as last year. Maybe Haley should have grabbed 22 guys off the street?
hard to keep passionately cheering for a team that struggles to win two games, huh?
ReplyDeleteToo bad their not playing Dallas later in the year when the temps are lower. The Wilson's could have planned a trip to KC then, and the resulting record lows might have helped the home team against a warm weather opponent. Just goes to show, timing is everything. / Lloyd
