I love what the Chiefs have done on the interior of the line and for starter at LT. But backup LT is question mark. And RT is either Remmers, who is no Schwartz or Niang, who is unknown right now. Hopefully Niang steps up and takes that spot and I guess Remmers can be backup for both tackle spots? Brown/Remmers, Thuney/Allegretti, Humphrey/Blythe, LDT/Long, Niang/Remmers, and Smith inactive every week? Is that how it plays out?

I don't know many teams that have 2 starting caliber left tackles. Most carry one and a swing tackle. Niang is a better option than Cam Erving. |

Chiefs don’t have a true fatal flaw on paper right now.
The secondary was good last year, and it’ll be pretty much the same group. Guys like Sneed and Fenton will only get better. Linebacker is younger and more talented than last year. DL should be better with Reed coming aboard and Wharton getting even better. OL is vastly improved. TE depth is better. WR is the same, since Watkins was always hurt anyway. Maybe Powell or Callaway is a productive addition. Maybe Hardman takes a major stride as a receiver. CEH will be better with an improved OL and a year in the system. Depth is a little thin, but I’m sure we’ll add another vet. Mahomes is Mahomes. The coaching staff is essentially back again. Injuries are the only thing that can derail us. The last 2 years have been rough with injuries. Maybe we’re due for some luck. 13 wins is the floor for the regular season IMO. |

That leaves Sam Tevi(!!!) as the presumptive week one starter. Yikes. Now, they did add a couple of maulers on the d-line and I’ll never be entirely unsatisfied when they do that but still, they need to protect Wentz. |

It's KC's to lose at this point and for quite some time... Chargers are going to be interesting to see what they can do to improve on last year with Herbert. Definitely an interesting situation there.

I'd say 14 wins is the floor with the extra game. Chiefs aren't losing more than 3

Barring an upstart team like the Chargers, who are really a complete unknown due to their new head coach and staff, or the Dolphins, in which Tua would need to turn into Fran Tarkenton overnight, the biggest threat to the Chiefs going back to the Super Bowl, IMO, is the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills have peaked. Josh Allen crumbles under the weight of carrying a team to a playoff victory and until he proves he can be that guy, he won't be that guy. The Ravens can't throw the ball, Big Ben is 150 years old, the South is in transition, as it always is, and the East is meh. And while Baker Mayfield is inconsistent, he has the ability to put together a streaky run, so if that happens late in the season and he gets hot, they're going to be a huge handful. |
