(And wouldn't it be kinda nice to see Philip Rivers join 2004 draft mates Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger on the championship dais?)
Kansas City Chiefs (11-5): Will an overhauled defense jell quickly? Can league MVP Patrick Mahomes possibly approach the mind-boggling production he managed in his first year as a starter? Are the off-field distractions at an end with the NFL choosing not to suspend WR Tyreek Hill? Lots of questions, though K.C. is equipped to provide correct answers between the lines. Early tests as AFC West champs open with three of four on the road.
He also has the Colts beating the Chiefs in the wild card round.
If you ask me, this Nate Davis guy is a real dipshit dumbass!!!!!! [Reply]
It's funny because for all the Alex Smith years it was the Broncos or Chargers because of the QB position, didn't matter about the rest of the team (offense, defense etc) but now that the Chiefs have the better QB and Coach it's the Chargers because they have the better overall team. [Reply]

I know that many here believe Denver is in the early stage of a 20 year run of suck, but I don't believe that will be the case. Might be a bit until they're competing for another title, but it won't be that long of a period of suck.
I’ll agree with most of this. I just wouldn’t have much faith in Elway to figure out QB at this point. Signing Peyton Manning is a no brainer. Drafting and developing your next franchise QB is a different story. Maybe Lock is that guy. [Reply]

What good is all that talent on the Chargers D when they looked just like ours last year when they played us and the Pats? Not only do we have the better HC, we now have the better DC with added talent on D.

Gus Bradley is overrated as ****.
The D was pretty good against us in Arrowhead. Mahomes and co had a few chances to put it away and just missed.
Good against the Chiefs considering the Chiefs offense was one of the best ever that is. They didn't shut them down by any means.
Them being as bad as the Chiefs d is a bit of an overstatement LOOL. [Reply]

I never said they were as bad as the Chiefs D. Don’t put words in my mouth.
I said they looked just like ours when they played our offense and the Pats. And the one game you’re talking about, our D didn’t do THAT bad either. That’s my point. In those 3 games, it’s hard to see how much better their talent was than ours.
But in those other 2 games? 79 pts allowed. They were fucking awful. LOOL [Reply]

I disagree but show me how.
The Chiefs are better across the board on offense (QB, WR, TE and Oline) except at RB.
The difference between the Chiefs' PPG and the Chargers' PPG last year was just as big as the difference between the Charger's PPG and a bottom 5 team. Think about that for a second.
It is close but I like the Chiefs Dline better than the Chargers when projecting next season. The Chargers have the edge at LB and secondary.
Now tell me how the Chargers have a better overall roster talent wise.
All I hear is how complete and talented their roster is but they are not even as talented as the Chiefs.
