Schedule Release: Best and Worst Case Win-Loss Scenarios for the AFC West in 2013

Today, I’m sharing my numbers on the 2013 AFC West with the loyal readers of Silver and Black Daily as well as a brief explanation as to how I got them. Let me first say I am 100% impartial to any team (including the Raiders) and my fanboy allegiance is directed elsewhere.

NFL Draft Wishlist: Denver Broncos

NFL Draft Wishlist: Denver Broncos

o far this offseason, the Broncos have done all they can to make sure they maintain the position they ended the regular season in — best team in the AFC West. Even with the moves Kansas City has made, you have to think the Broncos are still several steps ahead of them.

NFL Draft Wishlist: San Diego Chargers

NFL Draft Wishlist: San Diego Chargers

The Norv Turner/A.J. Smith era finally came to an end this season. With endings come new beginnings and for San Diego fans I have to think those new beginnings will be welcome. The Chargers are coming off one of the most disappointing periods in team history. In the minds of many, there was a three to four year window in [...]

NFL Draft Wishlist: Kansas City Chiefs

NFL Draft Wishlist: Kansas City Chiefs

A long and painful season has come to an end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Aside from the tragedy of losing a player to a senseless act, the Chiefs turned in an awful performance from start to finish that lead to the firing of Head Coach Romeo Crennel and subsequent resignation of G.M. Scott Pioli. On the bright side, the [...]

State of the AFC West: End of Season Edition

Well, let’s face it. If you take the time to read a fan site like this one, you obviously know the State of the AFC West. Outside of Denver, it’s in shambles. There really isn’t an easier way to say it. The Broncos ran away with this thing and the other three teams rounded out the worst division in professional [...]

State of the AFC West: Week 16 Edition

Another week down, another step closer to making off-season improvements for 3 of the four teams in the AFC West. The Chiefs have a stranglehold on at least the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, while the Raiders and Chargers both will almost certainly join them with top ten picks themselves. In the winner’s bracket, the Broncos have positioned themselves as the [...]

State of the AFC West: Week 15 Edition

State of the AFC West: Week 15 Edition

Well Raider Nation, in terms of what’s going on in the AFC West, last week just provided more of the same with one surprise. San Diego somehow managed to beat the Steelers, which should have shocked many. Outside of that, Oakland kept it closer than I thought they would against Denver and the Kansas City Chiefs kept themselves in the [...]

State of the AFC West: Week 14 Edition

State of the AFC West: Week 14 Edition

I gotta be honest, Raider Nation. I’m running out of things to talk about, report, and analyze in the AFC West. It’s pretty simple, really. The Denver Broncos are good. The Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders are not. The Broncos clinched the division title this past weekend and now set their sights on a 2 or 3 seed in the playoffs. The [...]

Belcher Tragedy Leaves Behind One Innocent Victim

Belcher Tragedy Leaves Behind One Innocent Victim

What happened in Kansas City yesterday was sad for a number of reasons. First and foremost, two young lives were ended. Friends were lost. Pain triumphed over hope for one man. Depending on what your beliefs are, Jovan Belcher may have committed two acts that he’ll pay eternally for. Depending on her sins and the way his girlfriend led her [...]
