from NFL.com today...AFC West primer article. What we'll be talking about at season's end The reigning Super Bowl champions unearthed their quarterback of the future but took their lumps on offense while falling behind the Chiefs and Raiders in the standings. Alex Smith garnered overdue recognition as a legitimate franchise quarterback while posting a career year in his fourth season under Andy Reid's masterful tutelage in Kansas City. The Raiders' 25-and-under trio of Cooper, Derek Carr and Khalil Mack is the envy of organizations across the league. The Chargers are staying in San Diego! |

I do hope that the teams in the AFCW remain relatively injury free, it's impossible to avoid injuries, but I do sincerely hope that each of the 4 teams remains healthy with their stars.
I'd like to see this division competitive again, top to bottom. It's more fun when that happens. I'd love for both the Raiders and Chargers to play well, especially the Raiders, it's just a fun league when they're doing well and back to being hated and feared. I believe that KC is going to have a fine season and you guys should win the division. Denver will have plenty of ups and downs, but it won't be horrible. I can see this being a 3 team race leading into December. Getting the rivalries going again in full force would be great. I realize the replies to these comments will be targeted with the standard PA efforts, but it is what it is. This division is fun when it's competitive and we haven't had that at a consistent level in years. ![]() |

This is your last season with Ware, Talib and possibly Sanders...the division is going to be a two team rivalry...and the Donkos arent one of them.
They are becoming the Texans of the West....perennial 8-8 team. |

Sanders... they could very well lock him up this year, and I believe that's one intention they have by freeing up cap space now by releasing a $4M punter and potentially both Hillman and Sanchez. Those 2 moves would move them near $12M now of cap space. I think the market would drive Sanders' asking price near what Baldwin got in SEA. Will they pay that for a #2? Who knows, but that is what it will take and right now, they don't have a a guy of his skillset waiting in the wings. I think you genuinely believe the guys behind Ware and Talib are junk, and that's just not the case. Last edited by Mile High Mania; 08-31-2016 at 10:20 AM.. |

Which is why I believe they'll do what they can to secure his services early. If they don't reach an agreement, then sure - Sanders will look for greener pastures, I would imagine. Sanders will be 30 soon, so it will be his last chance to get the big money. If they free up the $12M this year, knowing they'll have another $10M coming their way by releasing Talib in 2017... they can get it done. Sanders is a great #2 guy, but I don't think he'd have the productivity as a #1 - I think of Alvin Harper back in Dallas' glory years. The guy was prolific and then took big money in Tampa, right? He never looked the same. |

Bills '95 finished 13 and 12, then '96 finished 9 and 6. improved in both in Y2 ATL '02 finished 19 and 8, then '03 finished 32 and 30. Ouch total decline SDG '04 finished 18 and 11, then '05 finished 13 and 13 improved by 7 and slipped 2 DAL '07 finished 9 and 13, then '08 finished 8 and 20 - meh, but points killed improved by 1 and fell in the other HOU '11 finished 2 and 4, then '12 finished 7 and 9 slipped 5 in both, still remained top 9 DEN '15 finished 1 and 4, then TBD Again, I just don't see this catastrophic trend... big collapse in ATL overall. If you want to use HOU as a harbinger for bad things to come, I guess that's ok, but I'll take a top 9 finish every year, despite what they were the prior year. And, it's hard to account in the rearview mirror for the injury impact, if there were any. |

Now, interesting to consider: What gang from The Warriors would each team in the AFCW most mirror? I would rank it like this: OAK = Baseball Furies. A startling mix of image and swagger, but they ultimately get their asses kicked and FAIL in the task at hand. DEN = Rouges. Cheating, stealing, thieving, and blaming someone else for some bullshit they did, amirite?!?!? And now they gonna' die on the beach. SD = The Orphans. Even The Lizzies and Hi-Hats from Soho are tougher than these bitches. KC = Turnbull AC's. I mean ****; everyone's on the party bus and listening to some 70's music( yes Lil' Foxy and Len Dawson, I'm talking to you) and trying to chase down the prize. A valiant effort is undertaken and they get closer to claiming the Warriors than anyone else. But ultimately, they cannot execute as a team at the crucial moment and the prize eludes them. The NFL/Lombardi Trophy are The Warriors. Everyone is in pursuit, but only one gang un-harshes the mellow when all is said and done, which leads me to..... PITT(YEAH, RIGHT!) = Gramercy Riffs. A model gang that could( and has )run this whole city for decades. Though Father Time shot Art Cyrus Rooney, that's not going to stop Big Ben Masai and the boys from heading down to the beach to a) kill Denver, and b) have a brush with The Warriors yet again. |
