I just posted this and it apparently disappeared into never never land so I'll post it again.

I'm gonna be at this Sunday's Chiefs game so I'm gonna give my typical "Go Chiefs!" post now since I probably won't get a signal.

If you're cheering the Raiders......well......screw you

Have a good time......great time to be a Chiefs fan

We're going at 8:30 to start the grill. Win or lose it'll be a blast.

I am sure there have to be more recent teams but the cowboys from the 90's rings a bell.

SF at 6-2 has two serious hurdles to have a chance at the NFC West championship in 2013.

The Saints in N O seem to be an impossible win for the 9ers. Then Seattle comes to SF and I believe the Hawks might very well sweep the series. Nobody has scored as much against SF in the last two meetings and held SF to so few points. Seattle will have it's O-Line back and with the addition of Percy Harvin I just don't see how SF can win even at home.

Who cares?

Either the Hawks or the Niners will win the West, the other is the Wildcard

What matters beyond that is who is healthy, who is playing the best and who has the most playoff experience. When was the last time the team with the best record won the SuperBowl?

I give the Niners the edge on experience

Maybe moreso than in San Francisco in Seattle winning the West is a big deal. It does matter. Home field advantage in a run to get into the Superbowl is very important.

You are absolutely correct that health is the key. In a bizzare sense it is a good thing that Russell Okung our pro bowl left tackle that has been out with a planter facial seperation in his big toe will be fresh when that injury has healed. He won't need to come "up to speed". His and right tackle Breno Giacomini's return will be a huge difference in Seattle's offense which has been enemic in the last 6 games. We all know what the Hawk offense is capable of as witnessed in the 3 game 150 point stretch near the end of last season. In those games the rookie Wilson had time to check down to his open recievers and throw the ball with huge success. In those late games last season Marshawn Lynch had blocking and ran with abandon.

All those pieces plus the addition of Percy Harvin is waiting for a healthy O-Line to give Wilson an opportunity to get the ball to the true play makers.

It is miraculous the Seahawks are 7-1 with the patchwork O-Line they have been playing with. Wilson was sacked 7 times by a very good Rams defense. His mission as related by Carroll was to just not fumble the ball.. They knew that Wilson would be hit. Just don't fumble the ball... That's a hell of a different mission than Wilson is used to.

Are you a Cubs fan too? The 'Hawks haven't been football's equivalent to the '27 Yankees and most recently almost were beaten by the Lambs. Had St. L had their starting QB those field goals would have most likely been TD's.

The Niner's have added healthy young legs to the D-line and will be bringing LaMichael James into the game plan, he too of fresh legs; Aldon Smith is back and has lots to prove as well as lots of talent and Manningham will be active at WR.

FYI, from the Niner's Blog:

if you can factor in turn overs and INT's ya got a new career

 

[LA RAM FAN]

I still am in agreement with Huggy that it will be the Bronco's and Seahawks in the superbowl.I never thought either one of these teams would go undefeated though unlike him.I always said IF they got past the colts.that was the one i had strong doubts about.Dont think the donkeys will go undefeated either.I say they both go 14-2,

hawks losing their other game to the whiners in san fran with their defense screwing it up for them again mugging the receiver on a critical 3rd down which leads to a couple niner touchdowns

donkeys losing their two games at Indy and at Kc.

I wouldn't be too sure about the Colts beating Denver. The Seattle game was not a fair gauge of thier strength.

Fact is with Seattle playing 4 second stringers on the O-line and TE positions the Colts should have done better. They were lucky some unusual shit happened that gave thier home field advantage even more fortunate. I can't remember the last time a Seattle FG was blocked ... I don't think one has EVER been run back for a TD. That was a first. The punt the Seahawks blocked that bounced into the endzone wasn't unusual ...Seattle practices that kinda shit every Thursday. BTW Seattle blocks FGs frequently and runs them back for scores. When the other guy does it to us it's freaky. Anyway the refs blew the call on the football recovery and full control befor the Seahawk slid through the endzone. How often do the refs blow that call? I've never seen it. What is strange is that the play got reviewed. We saw the replay a dozen times and in slow motion. The ball never moved nor did it touch the turf once in the Seahawk players control. It was a bullshit call on the field as a saftey and a chickenshit call in the booth to not overturn as a TD. These were exceptional and very Lucky situations that had nothing to do with the Colts Offense or defense. My point is that without the weird stuff the Colts would have not scored 34...more like 20 and the Seahawks more than 40. It should have been 17-0 early in the first half and a blowout after.

The Colts can't DEPEND on wacky shit going thier way when they play Denver. Denver will crush Indy. If the Colts coudn't get to Wilson more than a couple times against a scrub Seattle O-line they won't stand a chance against a healthy Denver pass protection.

true that the Hawks should have won that game.there was some home town reffing they benefitted from.well the donkesy are going to have to wait till their rematch to crush the colts like you predicted.I know you are happy you wrong there since you are a cheifs fan.Since that prediction,I have changed my mind.I think it will be my Hawks -"my second favorite team after the chargers" I think it will be the hawks and the donkeys.I dont see the colts losing any more games the rest of the year.and the donkeys have been exposed.My chargers beat the colts earlier so I see the donkeys losing in san diego to them.if that happens,both teams finish 14-2 and the colts get to host the donkeys again in the playoffs and THIS time,the colts destroy the donkeys.

You may be right about the Colts. The Texans could have been a challenge but with Cushings out Houston's Defense is a lot weaker. The Chiefs might beat the Colts but ya..they could go 14-2. If KC beats Indy the whole thing gets crazy in the AFC. I wouldn't mind a rematch on a neutral field with Indy. If the Hawks are healthy... oh and make it to the SB ... it would be a great game. Both Wilson and Luck seem to play better when they are facing an uphill battle at the end of a game. Smith just plods along and depends on the Chiefs Defense to set the table with great field position. Manning can run his offense until he gets hit then he gets flakey. If the Bronco's have home field though I would expect Manning to run away with the game. The Colt's D isn't THAT great. I think if the Chiefs get home field they will win out.

The Colts have beaten the Niners, Seahawks and Broncos......three leading Superbowl Contenders

Still not sold on the Chiefs. Eight straight wins is hard to do against anyone in the NFL, but I haven't seen that signature win against a great team. I like their Defense but don't trust Smith in the Playoffs

The Colts win over the Hawks certainly wasn't an ass kicking. Two flukey plays going Seattle's way and the Colts lose by 9. I don't know what to think of what happened in SF but regardless of what seemed to be a spanking I believe if SF plays Indy ten times the 9ers win 8. I know...a win is a win. I just think the Colts have been the recipients of some amazing fortune. They are a very good team and Luck is very steady for a soph. I'm more convinced on the Chiefs than the Colts.

I can understand not trusting Smith in general. He's never been the kind of quarterback you expect to put the team on his back.

However, in his very limited playoff resume, Smith has been quite good. The game against the Saints was amazing. Two 80+ yard td drives to take a lead in the final 4 minutes of the game. Even in the Giants game, where Smith only had 200 yards or so, he threw a couple of td's and had no interceptions.

KC, like Denver, has not faced the stiffest of competition. Their performance in the second half of the season will be a better gauge on how good a team they really are. 8-0, however, almost guarantees them at least a playoff berth.

Yeah it was hardly an ass kicking.winning by less than a touchdown hardly qualifys for that.what are the odds of seattle having two flakey plays going against them which normally doesnt happen,not to mention the colts benefitted from some home town reffing from the officials ruling the end zone recovery a safefy when it was an obvious touchdown.

Even some colts fans i was watching the game with said they could not believe they ruled it a safety,that it should have been called a touchdown.Had the correct call been made right there,the colts would have been deflated and the game would not have turned in their favor at that point like it did.

The Hawks at LEAST lost that game on the ROAD against them by less than a touchdown so whats the whiners excuse,getting blown out by them at HOME?

On a neatrual field against the colts where the colts dont have the benefit of crowd noise behind them,the odds heavily favor the hawks especially since by then,they will be at full strength with a healthy O line.they didnt have all their weapons at their desposal at that time. the hawks will be especially pumped for that game as well and ready to prove something to the colts.

Halfway through the season
Where are we?

NFC is completely blown with Giants, Redskins, Falcons stinking up the joint
Seattle, 49ers and Saints look to be the teams to beat

AFC is playing close to predictions
Broncos, Bengals, Colts, Patriots looking good for the playoffs
Ravens and Texans look like busts
Chiefs are 8-0 but I still haven't seen that signature victory to get on their bandwagon

Colts vs 49ers Superbowl?Still looking pretty good

SF at 6-2 has two serious hurdles to have a chance at the NFC West championship in 2013.

The Saints in N O seem to be an impossible win for the 9ers. Then Seattle comes to SF and I believe the Hawks might very well sweep the series. Nobody has scored as much against SF in the last two meetings and held SF to so few points. Seattle will have it's O-Line back and with the addition of Percy Harvin I just don't see how SF can win even at home.

Are you a Cubs fan too? The 'Hawks haven't been football's equivalent to the '27 Yankees and most recently almost were beaten by the Lambs. Had St. L had their starting QB those field goals would have most likely been TD's.

The Niner's have added healthy young legs to the D-line and will be bringing LaMichael James into the game plan, he too of fresh legs; Aldon Smith is back and has lots to prove as well as lots of talent and Manningham will be active at WR.

FYI, from the Niner's Blog:

San Francisco 49ers ? Niner Insider Blog ? SFGate.com » Who has the edge in the second half? Seattle or San Francisco?

yeah but even if the whiners win their rematch against the Hawks they STILL have to go down to NO and beat them there in their house which is a VERY tall order for them.Not happening.thats already an automatic win for the saints right now.

the rest of the hawks schedule is easy pickens for them,the only one that will give them any problems is the rematch in san fran against the niners. so when the niners go down and lose in new orleans,they will have a record of 13-3 and lets says the Hawks lose that game to the niners in their rematch,thats the only game left of the season for the hawks that will give them problems.the falcons and Giants on the road will be easy pickens for them so that gives them a 14-2 record.

the saints will come here to seattle and play the seahawks on monday night and will lose that game.Like the Hawks,they are a different team on the road.so the hawks and the saints both finish with 14-2 records and the hawks win the tie breaker so that gives them home field advantage in the playoffs,they're superbowl bound baby.
