ummm...what.

The Chiefs secondary might be were their the most talented at two young up and coming CB's in Flowers and Carr to go along with an underrated safety duo of Pollard and Page.

I do agree that the Chiefs are 3-5 players away from fighting for a playoff spot but their secondary on paper at least is just fine.

And Mike Brown.

This should be a forum about who finishes last in the AFC West as that is more interesting. I absolutely guarantee it wont be the Broncos.

I wanted Mike Brown in Bolts really badly. alas, the organization really loves Kevin Ellison. I do too obviously but I wonder about his ability to contribute this year.

Brown is just a holdover from his early Bears days.....He was so awesome when healthy, as rare as it was.

I'm really pulling for him to make some kind of impact in KC.

I am standing by my single, solitary vote for the Broncos to win the AFC West. I just cant believe that more people thought the Raiders and Chiefs were a chance to win this division than us.

Who voted for the Raiders? I dont appreciate those jokes....

I'm calling for JEFF GARCIA

I voted San Diego, but Broncos have been decent. I just think San Diego has a better team for down the stretch.

San Diego is underperforming and they look VERY beatable. But this is still Denver, where 3-0 starts often end in incredibly disappointing finishes. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
