AFC West Team W L
1. Kansas City Chiefs 4 2
2. Oakland Raiders 3 4
3. San Diego Chargers 2 5
4. Denver Broncos 2 5
Well, now that I think about it, the Chiefs really shouldn't have lost that game to Houston, so what's wrong is that they should be 5-1. Still...remember where we landed last year? Their record was 4-12 when all the dust settled.
From 4-12 to 4-2?!
And it's only now that we're coming up on the soft part of the schedule:
Buffalo (0-6)Oakland (3-4)Denver (2-5)Arizona (3-3)
In fact, the Chiefs only face one team that currently has a record better than .500 in their next eight games (Seattle). So, even accounting for the fact that we might drop a flukey loss or two, there is every reason to think we're heading toward 10+ wins, a division championship, and a really good spot in the playoffs. Some perspective: the combined win total for the Chiefs in the previous seasons was...10. How's that for a turnaround? There is no doubt that the Pioli/Haley magic is starting to take effect, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next 5 years.
With both the Chiefs and the Wildcats looking at strong seasons (improving on last year in both cases) and likely post-season play, it's finally good to be able to enjoy football season again!
