After the big win in Denver for KC Chiefs yesterday – the first against Peyton Manning as a Bronco – are the Chiefs back in the hunt?
Yep, we went to Denver and beat a 7-1 Bronco team that had a quarterback break the all time passing yards record early in the first quarter. Do you believe that?
Only three teams are in front of KC in the wild card hunt now. What’s more, all of them seem just as shaky as the Chiefs. Only the Pittsburgh Steelers with Big Ben look impressive. The other pretenders are the Jets and Bills. Of course we have Oakland in our own division as well, but hey, who cares if a 4-5 team like KC can get there in this mess of a season called the NFL playoff hunt?
Yes, Kansas City won and the game was over at halftime.
Manning did all he could to give KC the game by throwing to Chiefs defenders with horrible passes in the first half, and all our points were set up by his weak arm. Yet other than one drive our offense couldn’t move the ball hardly at all. So we kicked 99 field goals with set ups at mid field or in Bronco land all day. True West had a few nice runs as did Alex Smith, our quarterback. That’s about it for KC’s offense.
So was our defense really that great or was Manning showing us the end of his career?
A bit of both.
Mostly Manning is just no longer Manning.
Unlike his counter part, Tom Brady, Peyton is just shot. His arm was weak last year and he managed with a great defense and some smart short throws to win 7 games before being exposed by Indy last week and the Chiefs this week.
Can KC really be a wild card?
Yes. It looks like a team with maybe just 7 wins might fly in the AFC and maybe in the NFC as well. The Bengals are the NFL’s most complete team now. Tom Brady loses yet another top receiver and running back and he’s running out of weapons. He had a last minute win over a just OK Giants team, winning by 1 point on a last second drive. At 9-0 New England’s Super Bowl hopes have faded due to injuries on offense. However Brady seems to invent weapons when needed so we’ll see.
The Chiefs are an up and down team.
We have little offense to go with a decent defense. We have two games with the Raiders and Chargers and both can be beaten. Oakland was on its way to the playoffs but got jacked at home by the Vikings, so they join the Chiefs as a “who knows” wild card hunter.
Look, it’s likely 8 wins gets you in a wild card spot and KC has 4 now with 7 games left.
If they can take two of the three from the Chargers/Raiders games they need two more outside of the conference to get there. So it’s possible.
With our offense and Alex Smith just not able to do much damage passing, it’s a long shot.
I’d have to pick the Steelers as long as Big Ben is playing and the Bills to be the second wild card team. Hey, Denver has 7 wins but may struggle to get more than 9 with Manning now so far gone. It’s likely they will bench him to see if he can heal up for a week or two. So if you are a big Chiefs fan and will be happy to backdoor into the playoffs at 8-8, who knows? It could happen.
Are you going to tell us you can throw better than peyton or alex?
8 wins probably won’t get you into playoffs. How did you come by this. Ouija board.
Word on street was that manning wasn’t going to play against chiefs….surprised
you didn’t hear that.
Give us more sex/hookers/stripper stories….enjoyed your take on Sheen. Best
article ever from you. It’s something youcan relate toand its right up your alley.
However…the statement you got hotter women than charley did was definitely
delusional. We’ve seen your women!!!!! No contest dude.
Hot chocolate is not even close to denise Richards!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry.
“Look, it’s likely 8 wins gets you in a wild card spot”.
Looks like someone doesn’t follow the NFL much.
No way does 8 wins get you in the playoffs unless Indy wins their division with only 8 wins.
Can the Chiefs make the playoffs? I guess. But this team will NEVER win anything with that rinky-dink offense led by Smith’s popgun arm and Reid’s awful play calling.
To address my loving fans…of course 8 wins ‘could’ get you in didn’t say it would..hell 7 could if all your other teams lose and keep losing…we don’t know right now…there is no magic number ‘yet.’ So I do follow the league and the NFL of course…the scary team is Pittsburgh if Big Ben can stay healthy…they find ways to get to super bowls with 9 win teams..me, I like New England. I love Brady and hope he can get there again…Bengals have the right stuff but their post season history is terrible, like ours. No I don’t think much of the Chiefs. Haven’t for decades. But a wild card is possible in this ‘off’ year with most teams. Hot Carl is right, crappy offense as I pointed out as well.
Now Harley on the girls front…I don’t just date strippers as readers should know including YOU. Hearne even printed a photo of the LA girl this past summer, hot…is she hotter than Charlie’s angels, Sheen, maybe…I don’t do stories on my love life much anymore due to the attacks and hating so its become tough…and KC is so ‘PC’ I’ve left it alone. Hell I get enough hating on regular stories about things…so I have left it out…sadly cause there are some great stories, but don’t need the hate. Got enough thanks.
“…I don’t do stories on my love life much anymore…”
KCC commenters should be flying a ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner.
Now then, what’s it going to take to to get you to stop blubbering about football?
Good poinyt KC Monarch…you should start writing bout football. Like now…help us out…love to hear your insight and opinions right here on kcc. Be my guest.

Yaaaawwwnnn, another story by Craig covering what all the real journalists have already covered.
Yaaawwwnnn, who cares to see anything you have slept with or claim to have when the head doctors say those who do such suffer from short dick syndrome.
Wow sounds more like you pal.
The swiss are on the road nowhere again, home for the holidays, post season. Kerouac’s pre-season prediction 7-9 W’s right on schedule, an 3-4 finish/4-3 if the breaks go their way not enough, per their usual.
chiefs, royals, it’s the same story each & every: 1970*, 1985*, 2015*
🙂
another stupid idiotic prediction from kerowacky.
You’re almost getting as bad as glaze. STFU! with your stupid worthless
predictions……….
Do you like crow?
no super elite insider football picks this week?
