Here's my rundown:

Denver 11-5
Chargers 11-5
Chiefs 10-6
Raiders 9-7

I think tiebreakers or division wins will really settle things. If the Chiefs and Raiders end up with better records, then it's wide open. Very competitive all around, I think. 8')

I wrote this team by team analysis a few months back I'm going to stick with my guns on this, its an easy choice in the AFC West because were spotted the division winner, 2nd - 4th is all in the details. :wiggle:

AFC West.

1. Denver Broncos- As well all know this is the best organization in the history of all organizations...In all honesty though the division is ours to lose. Our defense which only lost one starter should be a terror this year if we can devlope a pass-rush. Without relying on blitzing like I'm playing madden.

On offense the addition of Walker and how productive of a year he has might just make or break Plummers carrer in Denver. Without Ashley though to complete what would be a fearsome WR corp we basically took two steps forward and a baby step back. The running game....oh yeah lockdown.

Final record after week 17, 12-4. After Feburary 4th, 15-4

2. K.C.- The Chiefs I truly believe KC will either have a great season or they will crash and burn. If Edwards is smart and doesnt mess with the offense they should be in every game just from the sheer number of offensive weapons. I dont really buy into the whole "new" coach coming in and taking a few years to adjust. Gruden proved that when a talented coach comes in with the right pieces Immediate succes is not impossible.

The big questions for the chiefs have to be about how healthy their O-line can stay and if Trent Green will finally start showing some age. Oh L.J. might have a few good games as well. *Written before Roaf retired*

Wild Card: 10-6

T. 3. Chargers- All I have to say about the Chargers is it is a damned shame that they have one of the greatest talents in the NFL in LaDainian. There like the guy who somehow landed a good looking girl and have no idea what to do with it. The Chargers are going to reap what they sow from their lack of loyalty to Brees.

This team is going to disintergrate with a unproven QB and no real recieving corp. While their defense did have the number one rush defense last year the only way they will have those numbers again will be because teams are running down the clock. Plus the last time I checked a man named Marty still coaches the Chargers and we all know how he likes to make Denver Happy.

*Nothing has changed in opinon of the Chargers, trusting their immense offensive talents to Rivers is going to lead to another year of us going crazy when we hear "the best team ever not to make the playoffs....two years in a row."

Record 9-7

*4* T.3. Oakland Raiders- Their in a tie with the Chargers in my book because well I'm slighty intrigued by Aaron Brooks and the Randy Moss connection and as Ricky Bobby said "if your not first you last." They still lack a legitimate running threat however because of lack of consistency at o-line, Gallery will be playing on a new side of the line, and as Art Shell comes back how much will they really rely on or more importanly be able to execute the "vaunted" Vertical Passing game.

If Brooks can be at least Semi-consistent which should not be hard with Randy Moss on the recieveing end, then I look for him to have a monster year.

* I Wrote this last line mid-summer, I still think he can have a decent year but may I change "monster" to "enough to keep Jeff George on the bench"

I do really really like their first round draft choice in Huff, I feel bad for the W.R.'s in the West. Not bad enough though for me to view the Raiders D as anything better than the Chiefs D circa.....well ever.

Record 7-9

Talent has never really been the issue, having a coach that can push the talent to achieve with out bawling his eyes out...thats the issue. Edwards isn't the answer either. KC is going to show just how average Herm is as a gameday coach.

08-31-2006, 09:36 AM
The Chiefs don't have the depth on offense and their defense still has to prove it on the field before anyone is going to buy into them. I actually think KC took a step backwards this year even with possibly upgrading the defense. Their offense doesn't scare anyone anymore and their defense isn't improved enough. 9-7 is actually pretty generous with the bold question marks surrounding the team this year.

Actually, it WAS the issue. Up until last year, we were woefully talent-deficient on defense.

Faide - 11-5, as Old Man George gets his grove back throwing deep to Moss. Art Shell will win coach of the year after getting Robert Gallery to play like Upshaw and Sims to play like ... well, Shell, and Jordan will make them forget about Bo.

SD - 10-6. And the wildcard. Tomlinson will set the record for carries in a single season, but he’ll be ineffective in post season as the Chargers make a first round exit. Marty will announce he’s close enough to come back for another year.

Den - 10-6, and narrowly missing the playoffs. Shanny and R66v6s will reconcile, after Dan says “boy, ah know what that feels lak.” The fans and press will not only run Jake out of Den, but also out of the League, as he becomes a recluse horse breeder living on an obscure ranch, near the ranch of a former first baseman who played for the Dodgers, Cubs and Boston. Cutlett will crap himself in anticipation of his baptism under fire. (And this writer will have his fingers broke for using military allusions)

KC - 5-11. Larry Johnson gets 1300, but carries it 360 times. And they’ll trade up in the first round to take another elbusto DT.

Denver: 12-4
San Diego: 12-4
Chiefs: 9-7
Raiders: 5-11 (I'm feeling generous)

Since I'm a San Diego fan, I think that those who are discounting us are putting too much weight on Philip Rivers screwing up. The thing that is great is that he's surrounded by a group of talented guys and doesn't need to carry all the burden by himself, just like Plummer doesn't have to. If he limits his mistakes like Big Ben then we will do fine. If he does what I think he's capable of doing then I think people should be wary of us this year.
Anyways, about the whole receiver thing. We have a solid bunch of receivers in our group, with two that are capable of becoming great. Eric Parker is an underrated receiver who knows how to run his routes almost as well as KMac. He's clutch when we need him to be Plus he has the speed necessary to becoming a deep threat. You just never really saw it because of Drew Bree's weak arm. Well I suppose never is not exactly the right word. You saw glimpses of the possibilities in the Indy game last year, as well as in the Dallas game. Vincent Jackson is also an emerging star in our group and you also saw what he was capable of in the Indy game. He's very similar to Antonio Gates, especially in the leaping ability and soft hands, but also has the speed necessary to take it to the next level. If he can consistently stay injury free, I see this guy having a breakout year like Antonio Gates did in 2004..

Your saying that your defensive additions last year and this off-season are now the reason you have talent.

I thought that you would have considered Trent Green, Priest Holmes, LJ, Dante, Willie Roaf, Tony G...and I'm stretching to call this talent Eddie Kennison a very talented group. I consider 6 out of 7 of those players extermely talented, but apparently they dont quite live up to your expectations. I'm sure that Tamba and Law were those missing pieces of pure talent that you needed to get far in the playoffs....wait into the playoffs...

I think KC can easily be a playoff team but I might be foolish if their team actually wasnt that talented to begin with.

I guess I'm not seeing the far too much talent Bob is talking about...where exactly is it? Aging offense and nonexistent defense. Raiders have the potential for a serious meltdown to make their 11 wins in the last 3 seasons look good to them. Rivers will perform decently and I still think the Chargers are loaded but Marty will compensate for that.

Solid post and probalby not far off. Kmac however is not just in the twlight he's using is bright. Being a clutch reciever is great when you need a first down we've had one for years in Rod Smith. One clutch reciever though does not make a solid recieving corps, we know from experience and in all honesty McCardell is no Rod Smith.

Gates is a viable option anytime that is true but, he is used ineffective in Marty's offense too much vertical and big play not enough moving the chains for TE. He will have big numbers vs. the Fade, put him against a defense that can use a speedy LB or Physical Safety and you have problems.

Vincent Jackson will be a solid NFL WR he played at Northern Colorado and he has the tools. He however has no where near the size or blocking prescence to have comparisons to Gates, not after a year.

It's true that Brees didn't have the arm strength that will make headlines. What Brees offered you however was a solid decision maker, Drew didn't lose games for you nor did he win them for you; I'm not so sure Rivers at this point in his carrer with his lack of game experience wont cost you a few games. Rivers also isn't in possesion of a cannon he has a quick delivery but downfield throws lack velocity.

Those guys are all talented. Bennett's a former pro bowl running back. There aren't too many backup running backs in this league more talented.

Hali and Pollard are certainly talented. That's why they were 1st and 2nd round draft picks. And we've seen their talent this preseason.

Parker's got speed to burn and he was the Chiefs leading receiver last year in the second half of the season. He's poised for a breakout year.

Wesley...well, he had six interceptions last year and has been one of the most consistent turnover-generating safeties in the last several years.

I'm not desperate at all. We're a talented football team. We're far too talented to go 7-9, and if Herm ****s this up I will be extremely pissed.

Denver: 11-5. Denver doesn't get as many breaks but plays better sending a more potent team into the playoffs even though the record is worse.

San Diego: 10-6 Phillip Rivers is hot and cold throughout the season. At times he shows flashes of brilliance but then suddenly goes stupid as he adjusts to being the starter. Their defense keeps them in every game and all their loses are seven points or less.

Raiders: 8-8 The Raiders sneak up on some people early and get off to a hot start but as the season wears on and teams take them more seriously they fall back to earth a bit. Still they arrive at .500 and the following offseason Raider trolls swarm the board assuring the Mane the fade are "back to kick dokey a**." We all laugh hysterically.

Chiefs: 7-9 The Chiefs collapse when by week three they suffer some injuries that expose their terrible depth behind an aging team. The defense plays a bit better but short practices and Herm's pandering creates loses late in the fourth quarter of close games when the other teams are more conditioned. They lose at least one game because of Herm's poor game management. Green Retires with Shields (who finishes on IR) at the end of the season because his body can't take the abuse. The Chiefs cut a number of defensive players because they are in cap hell and have a terrible draft and the team becomes the sewer of the AFC West for twenty years.

One clutch reciever though does not make a solid recieving corps, we know from experience and in all honesty McCardell is no Rod Smith.
1. Am I missing something because I didn't mention KMac except to compare Eric Parker to him. Anyways, in addition to having a great route runner like KMac, we also have one in Parker who has the hands and speed to take it downfield. So in essence, we have two very clutch receivers in KMac and Parker.
Gates is a viable option anytime that is true but, he is used ineffective in Marty's offense too much vertical and big play not enough moving the chains for TE. He will have big numbers vs. the Fade, put him against a defense that can use a speedy LB or Physical Safety and you have problems.
I think this might change now that we traded for the Rams Manu who will be our primary blocking tight end, which will free up Gates to be used more as a receiving type tight end. Pat Kirwan's article on the usefulness of having two tight end sets is something I heard the Chargers were going to be using this season (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9444769).

Vincent Jackson will be a solid NFL WR he played at Northern Colorado and he has the tools. He however has no where near the size or blocking prescence to have comparisons to Gates, not after a year.
Who knows. Jackson could bomb like Rashuan Woods. But from what I've been reading and hearing, there's a lot of potential there. Heck, the last time I heard such good things was when the coach was talking about Gates in the 2003 season, which was a pretty bad season for Gates. Of course, it was his first year also so that's a given. The thing about Jackson's first year was that he was hampered by an achille heel problem. There were only two options for that. Either he sit out the entire season to let it heal completely and waste his rookie year, or he tried to practice and play and deal with the pain. He chose the second option. That's why his first season was so horrible. The bright side to all this is that Jackson doesn't have any history of being injury prone so like I said before, if he can stay healthy, then I think he can come through big for us this year. Of course, the fact that we have veterans like KMac and future hall of famer wide receiver coach James Lofton helping him doesn't hurt either

It's true that Brees didn't have the arm strength that will make headlines. What Brees offered you however was a solid decision maker, Drew didn't lose games for you nor did he win them for you; I'm not so sure Rivers at this point in his carrer with his lack of game experience wont cost you a few games. Rivers also isn't in possesion of a cannon he has a quick delivery but downfield throws lack velocity.
Rivers doesn't need a cannon. If he can pull of slants and the skinny post effectively then he keep defenses honest without having to throw it downfield every down. From what I've seen, Rivers can throw at least 40 yards downfield with some zip as well as good accuracy. Brees' ball floated after thirty yards.

Oh and the whole Marty can't win because he's too conservative argument. Well, maybe he is and maybe he can't win the big game. All I know is for the longest time no one thought Cowher could win it either. I suppose the difference is that Marty is older and has never been to the Superbowl like Cowher, but there's always surprises in the NFL and that's what I love about it.

Spot on.

Denver 11-5 We have a tough schedule, otherwise I think we'd walk away with the division by 3 games. Also, as Khan said, I think this team is better than last year's, but we won't have as many turnovers. That combined with the schedule will cost us a couple of wins.

SD 10-6 They could push us. Depends on Rivers. If he's really good, we might be in trouble. Their run D is kickass.

Raiders 8-8 They'll be the surprise of the division. Moss kicks ass, Aaron Brooks gets his career back on track.

7-9 Herm at helm. Too many starters begin to show their age. Offensive line meltdown. They'll probably still beat us in KC, though.

Lobo's take em to the bank predictions... and I have a bridge in Brooklyn for ya, too.

Denver. The Homer in me wants to call something like 14-2. But I wont go there. I am going conservative with 11-5. We could fair worse, true, but we could also fair better. We do well against the west, sweeping the Fade again. Our Defense remains solid while our run game suffers. However, the passing game makes up for the lost yards on the ground. The Broncos dont go to the SB, but win another post season game this year.

SD. I say 10-6, same as last year. Maybe they can sneak into the postseason, but a first round pounding on someone else's turf leaves the fans sour. Typical Marty team... run to throw, nothing flashy. More of their fans show up here as they put together a couple of successful years in a row.

KC. I REALLY want to see them in the basement, just cuz of their annoying fans here (which is really saying something as the Raiders are my #1 evil NFL team), but they do have enough talent to put together about 8-8. Their fans trumpet their shiny spots, but retiring O lineman and a missing T Rich slow down the running game. And honestly, where is KC without the run? They cant play D, and I dont believe in their passing game when teams are expecting KC to pass.

Oak - what can you say about a team that just signed Jeff George? I say about 5-11, and that may be charitable. They will play hard most of the season, but come up short most of the time. Randy Moss will miss the Pro Bowl again, and Al will look to shake things up at the end of another miserable season.

I don't know that there is a team in the league with better TE depth than the Chiefs.

Hmm. New England? San Diego? San Francisco?

Those guys are all talented. Bennett's a former pro bowl running back. There aren't too many backup running backs in this league more talented.

His "pro bowl" year was a joke. 1300 yards is the standard in the NFC or something?

You'd better pray to the football gods that LJ doesn't go down this year.

I've watched the preseason games and those holes LJ is getting look considerably smaller this year. He's actually having to fight for those yards now. And I'll give him his due, he is a tough runner and can move the pile and break tackles.

Bennett has never been able to do that. The guy is a good change of pace back. He's a good backup RB like Sproles is a good backup for San Diego.

I'm not desperate at all. We're a talented football team. We're far too talented to go 7-9, and if Herm ****s this up I will be extremely pissed.

Hehe. I'm feeling sorry for your dog already. He's gonna get the crap kicked out of him come January. Not to mention your remote... and your poor television...

I don't know. I guess if Krause can stay healthy then we'll be okay at that position.

I reserve the right to revise this prediction on a weekly basis, but I don't believe I'll have to.

Mocking Jeff George is indeed fun , but we're talking about a third string QB here... When you're down to having to play your third string QB, you're pretty screwed no matter what...

Mocking Jeff George is indeed fun for the whole familty, but jeezuz we're talking about a third string QB here...

You are correct. I coulda gone after Art "I was Al's tenth choice" Shell, or I coulda brought up your OC who was running a B&B for the last decade, or I coulda brought up all three and more... I decided to pull the punch and just say I didnt expect much of them and I wasnt expecting much because the Jeff George signing is indicative of the current state of the organization.

In all seriousness, good luck against the Chiefs.
