Can anyone stop the Kansas City Chiefs this season?

[pirateglenn]

Not a fantasy NFL thread this as we have one of those going on but a discussion led thread looking at the fortunes of the teams in this seasons NFL?

Who is your team and are you backing them or another to triumph?

After a red hot start last year which petered into a damp squib, i am still rooting for my FINS - go Tyreek!

Here is an informative guide from this side of the pond...

Detroit Lions are loaded with talent. Barring injuries it is going to be difficult for anyone to stop them.

I guess I am not the only one that is expecting great things from the Lions this year.​

Expectations were already high for the Lions this season, and they perhaps rose even more with Sports Illustrated featuring them on its season preview.

Yep they would be my pick outside of the Chiefs if i was going to go elsewhere. I think the lions roar this year for sure.

 

[ztibor72]

I really hope so. San Francisco and Detroit are both strong and the season is long, either team can weaken, even the Chiefs.

Maybe try to talk to Superman, he must be somewhere around 🤔

The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2024 NFL season looking for a third straight Super Bowl title. No team has ever won three straight Super Bowls, but the Chiefs are the favorites heading into the season. What sets the Chiefs apart from the rest of the field is the presence of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. The 28-year-old is a three-time Super Bowl winner and a two-time NFL MVP — a stunning feat in the first seven seasons of his career.

I don't think the Chiefs will fight for the title again this year. Other than that, I support the Miami Dolphins. Hopefully this year we'll make it to the Super Bowl

I think the 49ers can stop them but anything can happen is American football after all

So a local lad from a part of the World i know well - Wales Louis Rees- Zammit is pinning his hopes on making the roster for the KCC - follow the report below as provided by BBC Sport to see how he is faring.

Personally i don't think he will make it this time, there are a lot of better players out there who are on the fringes but we will see.

Chiefs and Lions in the Super Bowl with the entire country except for Missouri and Kansas rooting for the Lions, and the Chiefs will be the dreamkiller once again and will 3-peat.

As thought, Louis never made the Cut but remains on the fringes and i think this is the right call, give him time to develop his game, fine tune the playbook(s) and move forward - KCC is a team i will keep close tabs on this season for sure.
