1. They are proudly posted on the Chiefs Facebook page.

2. You're welcome.

3. Yes.

Ahhhh, facebook. That's why I haven't seen them.

4-12, here we come!

Sports Illustrated predicts Chiefs to win AFC West

[mean]

While I do think the Chiefs are better than their last two preseason games might lead one to believe, I'm thinking somewhere between 7 and 9 wins is probably more reasonable unless this team (read: Matt Cassel) totally overachieves.

And he is predicting the Packers over the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

[KCMax]

What are your predictions? I say 9-7, just miss the playoffs. Broncos win the division at 10-6.

Packers over Texans in the Super Bowl.

[mean]

I will make some wacky predictions for no particular reason:

Chiefs go 8-8 and miss the playoffs again.

Packers go 14-2 but miss the Super Bowl after being upset in the NFC championship game by, ohhhh, let's say Atlanta.

Super Bowl is Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh by a field goal.

Chiefs: 6-10, miss the playoffs, and jettison Matt Cassel.

Patriots over Bears in the Super Bowl.

[AllThingsKC]

6-10 or worse.

Packers over uh, Patriots, I guess.

[phuqueue]

I'm not really bullish on this team but with everyone back from injury it's hard to see them being worse than last year, when they somehow pulled out seven wins.

[mean]

6-10!? Really!? They just don't look that bad, you guys are nuts and/or overly pessimistic.

[aknowledgeableperson]

If based on preseason results 5 to 7 wins.

Based on the pre season, I think we will be lucky if we win as many as 6 games. What did you see in the pre season that you liked?

[mean]

Likes: Pretty much the entire first string defense. O-line looks decent. Running backs look quite good.
Iffy: Starting QB.
Dislikes: Defensive backups.

[chaglang]

Dislikes: Defensive backups.

Especially in the secondary.

[mean]

Yeah, the backups in the secondary scare me more than anything else. It was disappointing that the linebackers didn't get more pressure on QBs, but RAC didn't really seem to be sending them much.

How much should preseason matter though? I don't think you could look any worse in the preseason than we did last year, and we still managed to win 7 games. The Falcons went 0-4 last season in the preseason, and went to the playoffs. We start over this week. Let's see if Romeo has these guys better prepared than Haley did.

[chaglang]

Atlanta, @Buffalo, @NO, SD, Baltimore, @Tampa is brutal. If they make it to the bye at 3-3, with most of their divisional schedule ahead, they have a chance.

Mike Lombardi was on the BS Report yesterday and said he liked the Chiefs quite a bit.

I'm not judging the Chiefs solely off their pre-season record. It's possible for them to be 4-0 and me still not be happy. What I look for in the pre-season is how the starters do. With the exception of the Arizona game, I am not happy with how the starters played. And, if the pre-season is any indication, Romeo doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he will have this team ready for Week 1. We also have 1 key player suspended and another key player who missed ALL of training camp. Plus, it's not like the Chiefs have an easy schedule. @ Buffalo? @ New Orleans? @ Baltimore? (The last time we played those teams, we got blown out)

As of right now, I think we're looking at a down year.
