A couple of weeks ago I made my early predictions and I'm very hopeful just based on the schedule. So I decided to break down who we face and give everyone an in-depth look. Now, I'll take a look at the AFC South. Each ranking is based on "per game" of last year.
Houston Texans -October 17th, 2010
Last year offense: 1st in passing yards/30th in rushing yards/10th in points
Last year defense: 18th in passing yards allowed/12th in rushing yards allowed/17th in points given up

-First Three Draft Picks-
Kareem Jackson -CB
Ben Tate -RB
Earl Mitchell -DT
-My Thoughts-
The texans are one of the toughest teams we will face this year. They have a solid offense that is getting better each year. Their defense is strong in the secondary and even stronger in the front seven. We will have a tough time and will probably end up with a loss. This would probably be close but it is our second road game in a row after we play the Colts.
Jacksonville Jaguars -October 24th, 2010
Last year offense: 19th in pass yards/10th in rushing yards/24th in points
Last year defense: 27th in passing yards allowed/19th in rushing yards allowed/24th in points given up
-Noteable Offseason Additions-
Kirk Morrison -Trade
-Noteable Offseason Releases-
-First Three Draft Picks-
Tyson Alualu -DE
Larry Hart -DE
-My Thoughts-
It seems like the Jags went pretty much all defense in their draft. Sadly, they didn't address their secondary which was horrible last year. I think them coming to Arrowhead this time around will be huge for us. I think RC will study that tape and find the weakness in their rushing attack and how they beat our defense last year. We win this one.
Tennessee Titans -December 26th, 2010
Last year offense: 23rd in passing yards/2nd in rushing yards/16th in points
Last year defense: 31st in pass yards allowed/11th in rush yards allowed/28th in points given up

Lendale White -Trade
Craig Hentrich -Retired
John David Booty
-First Three Draft Picks-
Derrick Morgan -DE
Damian Williams -WR
Rennie Curran -LB
-My Thoughts-
This team has a dangerous weapon on offense. Their defense is poor especially the secondary which they didn't address until late in the draft. I think they should have addressed it more since they face the Colts twice a year. I think their secondary will be their weakness again this year. We will win only if we contain CJ which most teams can't do.
Indianapolis Colts -October 10th, 2010
Last year offense: 2nd in passing yards/32nd in rushing yards/7th in points
Last year defense: 14th in pass yards allowed/24th in rushing yards/8th in points given up

-First Three Draft Picks-
Jerry Hughes -DE
Pat Angerer -LB
Kevin Thomas -CB
-My Thoughts-
We will do better than people expect due to us coming off a bye week. We won't win but if we can face our focus on the pass then we should be alright. Since, that is pretty much what we did this draft and offseason I'm not worried about it too much. The Colts are just too strong and we will have to play catch up. Although, they do give up a lot of rush yards we simply won't have the time to rush when behind.

Tough
I wanted to vote 2, hopeful that we could pull out a couple of those, like the home games, but i voted one. I feel like such a hater, but I think we could struggle against the Titans run game, and the overall prolific offenses that the colts and texans field.
Snap the fucking ball Brodie!
On September 13, 2010 I will finally get to share the Arrowhead Experience with my Wife. What better way that beating the hell out of the Dolts.
Strong division
Colts are too tough. Same with Texans. Jags should be simple. We only just lost to them and, overall, we are the better team now. Titans are the tough one. We win if we can contain CJ to a degree. I don’t think any team can truly contain him. If JC fires and Romeo gets our front seven’s mojo working we are in with a chance
Can we be the AFC West Champions in 2010. You better believe it
The Chiefs offence will EXPLODE in 2010
Some thoughts from a Jaguar fan
The question of the horrible secondary is whether or not they ever had a chance to be successful with such a horrible pass rush. The Jaguars recorded 14 sacks in 2009, one of the worst totals of all-time, let alone the worst of the year. The amount of time the Jaguars had to stay in coverage was just ridiculous. The Jaguars focused on adding to their pass rush by adding DEs Aaron Kampman, Larry Hart and Austen Lane along with penetrating DTs with Tyson Alualu and D’Anthony Smith.
Oh and we actually resigned Reggie Hayward.

Preaching to the choir
With the pass rush issue. We were right in front of u last year. The year before…well look in the record book of least sacks in a year. We know the pain!
Big Gulps EH????? All right.....Welp....See Ya Later!
I agree that more of a pass rush will help the secondary...
but by how much? That is what we are facing here in KC. We need to get more pressure. It’s not that our secondary is bad it’s because with unlimited amount of time in the pocket opposing teams can pick us apart.
Jamaal Charles...Enough said.
I agree that a better pash rush will help your secondary.
I also think that the people you drafted this year will end up being great players for your team, but I think it will take your rookie D-linemen 2-3 seasons before they will be ‘truely’ dominate in there posistions.
Last year we played you close in your house, but our young team has a year under their belts and we added our own ‘playmakers’ on all sides of the ball (Thomas Jones (RB), Eric Berry (S), Dexter McCluster (RB/WR/PR/KR), Javier Arenas (DB/PR/KR)). Not to mention we now have a full time OC (Hailey was trying to do to much in his rookie year of being a HC) in Charlie, as well as a better DC in Romeo.
With that being said, I think home feild for the Chiefs will make all the difference this year, and we will get the “W”.
you have John David Booty going to two teams
You Have Booty going to the Texans and the Titans.

Isnt Indiana
north of the Mason Dixon line?
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
Let me break this down:
Texans – Look to be coming into thier own but are beatable.
Prediction – Chiefs lose a close one.
Jags – I think they are headed to the cellar this year… I could be wrong though.
Prediction – CHIEFS WIN!!!!
Titans – Try to keep Chris Johnson in check and limit his production plus Vince Young is terrible.
Prediction – CHIEFS WIN!!!!
Colts – Manning is going to be Manning and they added some nice rookie defenders.
Prediction – Chiefs lose in a not so close game. )=

Do not lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity. We offer no hope for the person who is so indifferent as not to want to get ahead in life, and who is not willing to pay the price.
I disagree about Vince Young.
He was playing very very well during the last half of last season. Putting up some crazy good numbers and making lots of plays with his feet as well. He seems to be turning into the guy they wanted him to be when they drafted him.

Exactly
I think Young had something to do with them going from 0-6 to 8-8

but will he turn into that guy again?
He had something to prove last year. Now, that he proved it and is that guy again will he go back to the old Vince Young?

The thing is...with the playmakers we've added....

I think the Coltd game will be our suprise game of the year
It will be just like the Steelers game last season
I sure hope so
seeing as how im going to be there! Are you still planning on going?
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
Im gonna try but right now things arent looking to positive for it
we are remodeling right now and its gonna cost a little more than I expected..
we are trying as well
but planning a move might throw a kink in those plans. Hopefully I will have that locked down, and still be able to make the trip even through a move.

Understandable man
I wish I could just move in a new place instead of remodeling haha.
Tornadoes get anywhere near you down there in Oklahoma?
no they passed us
started hitting about 40 miles up the road in Chickasha. I could tell it was going to happen, you can just feel that stuff in your body when its going on, then I got home and watched the weather channel and it was all over there. My family is going to be moving to NY soon so im planning out a long trip, and looking for houses.
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
thanks for asking to man
it was pretty bad around OKC but that is an hour up the road.
Are we the team to beat in 2010? I sure think so! Go Chiefs.
